After School: Monthly Group Practice (Online Edition)
Public speaking is a skill—and like any skill, it takes practice to stay sharp.
That’s why we created the ONLINE version of After School, our monthly practice club. Now, no matter where you are, you can join us on Zoom for a dynamic 2-hour session to keep your speaking skills fresh.
What to Expect…
Each session includes:
Fun warm-up games to ease into speaking.
Impromptu speaking exercises to help you think on your feet.
A 3-minute prepared speech (optional) based on the monthly theme, with constructive feedback. Prefer to skip the speech? You can do extra impromptu exercises instead.
A chance to observe and give feedback as others present.
We also occassionally bring in guest coaches for special workshops on confidence and communication. Past sessions have covered improv, the Meisner technique, voice training, and mindset coaching—offering new ways to challenge yourself.
Who’s It For?
Whether you want to sharpen your skills, manage nerves, or just enjoy the challenge, these sessions are open to everyone—no prior experience required.
May’s Theme:
For May’s speeches, the theme is "A Lesson I Learned the Hard Way" Participants are asked to prepare a 3-minute speech on this topic in advance.
**If you’d rather not deliver a prepared speech, you can take part in an extra impromptu speaking exercise or simply observe.

What’s Included
Warm-ups
We love starting every session with ice breaker warm-ups inspired by improv games. These fun, interactive activities are designed to help you shake off any nerves, get out of your head, and ease into the session. They’re a great way to loosen up, connect with others, and set the tone for an engaging and productive class.
Improv Speaking Exercises
Improv speaking exercises are specifically designed to help you think on your feet, embrace spontaneity, and trust your instincts. By stepping out of your comfort zone in a supportive environment, you’ll develop the ability to stay present and handle unexpected moments with ease. Each session will dedicate a short time to these exercises, helping you sharpen your quick-thinking and speaking skills while having fun in the process.
Speech Delivery
Each month, participants prepare a speech based on our set theme, giving you the chance to explore a variety of topics and subjects. During the session, you’ll deliver your prepared speech to the group, gaining valuable experience speaking in front of an audience. At the end of the evening, we’ll vote on the standout speech, and you’ll also have the opportunity to receive constructive feedback from both the group and the trainer.
