Berenike Keppler-Rau

Berenike Keppler-Rau serves as Lecturer for speech training and rhetoric at Theological College Reutlingen since 2008, and concurrently as Lecturer for speech training for musicians at State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart since 2003.

Her educational background includes:

• Diploma in Speech Training, State University of Music and Performing Arts Stuttgart (1986)

Her expertise spans technical foundations of verbal/nonverbal expression, emphasizing breathing-voice coordination, articulation, and context-appropriate communication (audience, space, role). She integrates artistic recitals—such as Swabian poetry programs, Dietrich Bonhoeffer portraits, and women's suffrage historical narratives—into her pedagogy. Courses cover microphone-free speaking, gesture-body synchronization, and rhetorical adaptation to situational demands.

No scientific awards or grants are documented. Her advisory activities lack specific student listings, though she trains church/school musicians and singers institutionally.
