This class is a structured, safe space where we rehearse our speaking voice in the presence of peers.  Students find this class useful for a variety of reasons: learning to ‘speak up’ (be it in the classroom or at the dinner table); increasing performance confidence whether for speaking, singing, or playing an instrument; practicing organizing your thoughts into coherent, persuasive phraseology; or gearing up for in-cass presentations and even public speaking competitions.  I am happy to boast that this class has produced several state and regional competition winners.

Shy? Do not worry!  Many of my students start that way.

Outspoken? I will help you channel your energy into effective and persuasive self expression.

All levels, skill-sets, and ambitions are welcome.  We will have you well on the way to achieving your goals very quickly.

Classes are kept small (4 students max) so that each student has a chance to speak during each meeting.  In-class participation varies between prepared presentations, famous poems, historical speeches, and other curated prose designed to explore and accentuate the various elements of effective speaking.

Your first class is very low pressure. And the peer group is extremely encouraging and patient.

This class is about building skill and confidence, so each week we will work together to master this important skill. The class will end with suggestions for speaking practice and taking volunteers from which students should be prepared to speak in the next session. YOU ARE NOT REQUIRED TO SPEAK UNTIL YOU ARE COMFORTABLE. 

We can get through this together! This class will definitely help your student gain confidence, skill, and increase their leadership potential.

Public Speaking can be fun!
