Public Speaking Level 1 – 4 Weeks (London)

About this course

Participants explore how breathing, pacing and vocal control affect public speaking, alongside body-language principles and emotional delivery. The course uses guided exercises, vocal training and practical speech work rather than focusing only on presentation theory. The second half of each class is devoted to speaking in front of others. Later sessions include speeches on teacher-set topics, followed by individual feedback on strengths and areas for improvement. Improvisation and speech-writing exercises are also included, with an emphasis on authentic delivery rather than performing confidence.
