For parents in Shenfield, Brentwood, and Billericay, the LAMDA Public Speaking syllabus is often the most requested for long-term "real world" success.

While acting is about performance, Public Speaking is about leadership. At our Shenfield branch, we use this coaching to help students find their own unique voice, teaching them how to influence and engage an audience with clarity and poise.

The Skills of Persuasion

In a Public Speaking exam, students aren't acting as someone else—they are presenting as themselves.

  • Speech Construction: Students learn to research a topic and structure a coherent, engaging argument.
  • Vocal Presence: We focus on tone, volume, and modulation to ensure the message is delivered effectively.
  • Physical Confidence: Mastering body language and eye contact to command the room.

Why Families in Brentwood Choose Public Speaking

Our specialized coaching at the Hutton Community Centre serves students from Ingrave and Ingatestone who are looking for a competitive edge.

  • Classroom Success: The ability to present clearly is a major asset for school projects and presentations.
  • Interview Preparation: The skills learned—speaking clearly and handling questions under pressure—are perfect for secondary school or university interviews.
  • Earning UCAS Points: High-level LAMDA Public Speaking grades (Bronze, Silver, and Gold) earn valuable UCAS points for university entrance.
