What's On - Speaking With Confidence: In-Person Group Course

Learn professional acting techniques to become a calmer, clearer, more confident communicator in six practical Saturday morning sessions.

6-WEEK SPEAKING WITH CONFIDENCE PROGRAMME

Whether your voice shakes during presentations, you lose your train of thought in meetings, or you simply wish you felt more relaxed speaking in front of others, this course can help.

Over six in-depth weekly sessions, you'll explore tried-and-tested techniques from the world of acting to help you speak with greater clarity, presence and purpose.

This is not a lecture series! Every session is highly practical, with guided exercises, discussion and opportunities to put the techniques into practice straight away.

The small-group* format gives you the chance to practise speaking every week in a supportive environment, helping you build confidence through real experience rather than theory alone.
* maximum 10 participants

Because each session builds on the last, regular practice and dedicated homework assignments are expected to be completed between classes to help the skills become lasting habits.

Speak with a stronger clearer voice: using vocal techniques including warm-ups, breath support, articulation, pitch and pace

Look and feel more confident: using posture and presence to feel more grounded and assured

Relax and be more focused: moving from internal nerves to external connection

Tell your story with clarity: shaping content clearly and delivering it with intention

Think on your feet when things don't go to plan: improvisation and handling the unexpected

Develop performance tools: using techniques like Actions and Objectives to land your message

Who is it for?

This course is for anyone who feels nervous, self-conscious or stuck when speaking, and wants to change that. It's ideal for those preparing for presentations, interviews, pitches or public speaking, as well as anyone looking to sound more confident in meetings, on camera or in a new role. Complete beginners are welcome, as are those who have had previous coaching and want to build on it in a supportive group. It’s also for anyone who simply wants to express themselves more freely and be heard. (Age 16%2B)
