Public Speaking Training Class

          Establishing good public speaking skills is pertinent to a variety of tasks. Whether it be presentation or discussion, confidence in public speaking is essential to the successful communication and persuasion of your thoughts and ideas.

Testimonial

I believe Anthony did a great job teaching my daughter the art of speech and debated. She has moved from novice to varsity due to her excellent performances. She got into semifinalist as a novice competitor and got a 3-1 in her first debate tournament. Yesterday, she got to the quarterfinal in a national varsity tournament, which means she got in the top ten percent. Not only is she one of the three people who made it in her school, but she also is the only freshman on her team who made it to the quarterfinals in her category. Of course credit must given when it is due and that credit goes to Anthony.

Share the joy
