Acting and voice coach MJ Vandivier teaches students at the Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas, but when clients are far away, she turns to Skype to see and hear them in action to better help them.
Her experience is shared in the latest of the “Working Smarter, with Skype” series of videos, published on the Skype Workplace Blog.
Skype, Vandivier says, is “a terrific tool if I can’t be with somebody in person ... I have to be able to not just hear, but to see and to be able to read somebody …. Are they breathing well? Do they have the facial posture they need to, as far as voice? Are they being authentic as far as their acting? Skype allows me to travel in a way that I never could before, and benefit clients and also enrich my life by working with them.”
On the blog, Blake Shepard of Skype asks that if you have business experience, share your comments or upload your own video to YouTube, explaining how you use Skype in your business. Use the tag #skype4biz so that Skype can find you.
