    Instructor made me feel very relaxed on my first session, a great way to ease me into being comfortable with public speaking. It makes me want to continue going to the classes. It's also cool to see other students who are at different levels perform different exercises, I've learned from observing them too.

    Lizzy W. is an amazing communication teacher. Because of her "not pushing" approach I actually started liking communication classes.

    Lizzy Wallace does a great job with this series. The thought of ever taking an improv class has TERRIFIED me. The intro to improv in part one of this series has eased my fear and was actually fun. Lizzy does a great job of making everyone feel comfortable. I am sure I said some dumb or weird stuff during the games, but I never felt self-conscious about it (and everything gives me anxiety). Overall, the series helps you put things into perspective and enables you to overcome some mental hurdles that you may have. Lizzy is super patient, genuinely kind, and generous with time and effort to help her students. I highly recommend it!

Public speaking is a presentation given in front of a live audience, whether it be to inform, educate, persuade or entertain public speaking has been around for thousands of years, beginning in the eras of Ancient Greece and Rome. The importance of public speaking, according to the Ancient Greeks, stems from the purpose of rhetoric and persuasion. The purpose, however, is to move the audience to action or to educate on specific topics. In the fields of education and writing, public speaking intends to question specific issues and cause a rise in the audience to have specific reactions. A great example of public speaking for education is TED Talks.

Informing others is becoming a large part of our daily work lives, from providing lectures in a classroom to presenting pitches in business meetings and even discussing ideas with your boss. Communication is essential for many of us working from home or in a live corporate environment.
