For many people, Public Speaking is a real fear.

We design and deliver tailored Public Speaking Course using communication techniques developed by actors so that your team members will overcome nerves and habits to become confident, memorable speakers.

In this practical and enjoyable Public Speaking Course your team will work alongside an experienced actor and business coach. They will learn the art of preparing and delivering a speech, understanding how to structure engaging content as well as warming up the voice and body to support the delivery of their message. Your team will build greater confidence to speak with personality and clarity.

PUBLIC SPEAKING COURSE - WHY THIS COURSE?

The key to good communication is not only what you say, but how you say it.

This Public Speaking course is tailored to suit each group and will equip your team with the skills they need to speak with vocal confidence, build rapport with audiences and leave lasting impressions. The team will leave the workshop feeling prepared, able to manage nerves and ready to stand and deliver speeches with impact.
