public speaking for kids.
Public Speaking classes give children the tools they need to develop versatility and confidence in their use of language. Student's will learn to structure, prepare and present speeches, interviews and debates appropriate to an audience, purpose and occasion. In our classes, children will develop the basic vocal skills (articulation, projection, modulation), body language (posture, eye contact) and speaking skills (impromptu, social and prepared speeches). Children will learn to communicate with power and purpose, extend their listening and discussion skills, discover their inner creativity and unleash their performance potential. These skills will be used throughout LIFE - at school, in future studies, and in personal and professional interactions.
