Have you ever been to a public speaking class where they expect you to go up and speak for 2 minutes with no prior experience ? I think this is to hard for many people and just overwhelms the nervous system.
We start in pairs and work our way up to smaller groups and slowly desensitize to being seen by a larger audience.The speeches are also short, ranging from 10 seconds to 1 minute.
You are under no pressure to do anything, all exercises are voluntary, no one will ever be put on the spot.
I want people to view this class in the same light as a weight lifting class. If there was a weight too heavy for you, you would just say "I can't lift that yet" and there would be no shame nor embarrassment around it, so if something is a bit too far outside your comfort zone, sit it out and don't feel embarrassed or feel you have to explain yourself. We are all at different levels and this is normal.
We'll be in studio 11, at the Theatre Deli, which is 107 Leadenhall Street (near Bank and Monument station). It can be a bit confusing as it looks a bit like an office building but it's actually studio and rehearsal spaces.
I hope to see you there. If you're still worried, feel free to send me a message or call me and hopefully I can put your mind at ease - 07477077431
Take care,
James.
