What we do At first students may seem daunted by going into a studio and seeing computers, mixing desks, CD players, microphones and the rest of the complicated-looking equipment, but they are soon shown how these pieces of equipment blend together – by practising this they gain dexterity, co-ordination and most importantly, confidence.Students soon find out the value of speaking into a microphone and listening to play-back. • Do I speak too fast? • Am I speaking clearly? • Am I repeating myself too much? • Can my vocabulary be extended? Alongside this the students work through our accredited course which involves showing evidence of the practical skills they have learned, including many elements such as Health and Safety. Students are referred to DBBC from other agencies in the town and everyone is encouraged to help one another to show off their skills and re-enforce their own learning. Becoming a ‘teacher' to someone new is a great confidence-booster and all are given this responsibility as soon as they are able. At the end of the course it is always the case that the students have gained confidence and feel better equipped to move on.
