Why?
The Speak Like a Speaker Club is a collaborative, playful and creative space for you to build your confidence and develop your speaking skills; practise a presentation, talk, audition piece, or even a stand-up set.
It’s an opportunity to discuss your process and experiment within a safe and supportive environment, as well as rehearse with real humans for fabulous feedback and rapturous applause.
You’ll be given exercises, tips, and techniques to deal with nerves, control your breath and improve your voice, as well as constructive feedback from professional speaker coach, Jackie Goddard (me 🤗), and your fellow performers.
If you’re feeling a bit shy then you don’t have to speak, just listen, and support.
It’s also a great excuse to network and/ or socialise with fellow entrepreneurs, business owners and other creative minded bods!
What happens when?
6.30 – 7 pm. (optional) Gather in the Cafe space for pre session networking and free tea or coffee.
7- 9 pm: Warm up. Playing. ‘Open mic’ type session followed by a look at a couple of talks/ presentations in-depth.
