Abstract
Technical specialists often make ideas and concepts too intellectual for lay audiences. They tend not to be able to express their thoughts in a simple coherent way. Individuals will continue to find difficult advancing through, for example, the corporate ranks without possessing communication skills that are not only informative, but engaging as well. This study explores how tutoring these specialists with basic theatre delivery techniques may significantly improve a deadpan delivery to one that is,if not eloquent, certainly more engaging.
