Does this sound like you?

Your heart races when you speak in front of a group.
Your voice gets quiet or shaky.
You lose your place or forget what you wanted to say.
You worry about your pronunciation, so you rush to finish.

Improving Public Speaking: What We Work On

Public speaking is a skill you can practice, like any other. We work on:

Breathing and voice: breath support, volume, and projection
Pace and pausing
Stress and intonation, so your main points stand out
Clear pronunciation of the words you'll use
Planning: organizing your talk so it's easy to remember and easy to follow
Filler words like um, uh, and you know

How I Can Help

In private sessions on Zoom, we practice your real speeches and talks, out loud, with feedback each time. Practicing out loud with a listener is the best preparation I know.

If your main goal is your voice and delivery, see my professional voice training. In English Pro, you can also volunteer to work with me 1:1 in my weekly live class, English Pro Live.
