Course Description
Public Speaking 1 focuses on the fundamentals of speaking confidently in front of an audience.
This course contains 10 classes and is designed for families to be able to work through the material on their own. Parent involvement is highly recommended. Each class includes 2-4 short instructional videos, and each video is supported by an exercise, drill, or assignment. We recommend covering no more than one class per week. Less experienced students may work through the material at a slower pace. (Time requirement expectation: 60-90 minutes per week for students aged 9-19)
If you want weekly oversight from an instructor (Win Heggem), in addition to the Public Speaking 1 Course, purchase a Public Speaking 1 Guided Group Class.
Key concepts covered include:
- Vocal Training
- Lessons for Style & Delivery
- Speech Assignments
- Elevator Pitches
- Motivational speeches
- Monologues
- Storytelling
- Impromptu
