Most Americans are terrified by the prospect, but being capable and comfortable speaking in public is so empowering; you’re never too old to learn and benefit from the skill. We’ll work on projecting our voices—and our presence. We’ll look at breath control and the theatrics of effective speaking … how to set up written drafts to make delivery easier. We’ll look at the speaking styles of famous orators and SLAM poets, and practice delivering some of history’s pivotal speeches.
