Reviews for Public Speaking Classes Online

Public Speaking Classes Online are rated 4.6 stars based on 162 verified reviews from actual CourseHorse.com purchasers.

  • 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.
  • Great class! Andrew is energetic and makes you feel comfortable while delivering valuable content on how to feel more confident and deliver an engaging speech. I definitely recommend this class.
  • Great course!
  • Teacher was awesome, learn a lot in such a short time. I recommend this class to anyone.
  • Oh my god, just the best storytelling course with the best teacher. Bryan Kett's (our teacher) mastery gave me a glimpse of what it would be like to practice and practice at the craft for years -- and now more than ever, it's a future I'm inspired to claim for myself.
  • Class was canceled but I will be receiving a private session
  • Mastering Presentations 2-Hour Workshop

    For a couple hours on a weekday, it had a ton of great content that I can apply in many ways.
  • Awesome instructor, learned some valuable points to being an effective speaker in public settings.
  • The program was very helpful in identifying position and habits to form when trying to be more effective and have more impact in meetings. Heather and Joe did an excellent job.
  • This is my third Exec-Comm class and each one I walk away with so much knowledge. Great class!
  • This class was a great experience - facilitators created a safe space while pushing us to grow and learn. Material was easy to follow and facilitators were friendly, funny, and engaging.
  • Awesome workshop! Gail is an amazing instructor.
  • Loved this Course! Andrew makes it super engaging and fun. I learned ton-- specific steps to enjoy, feel grounded and overcome anxiety before speaking to a group. Everyone can benefit from becoming a better story teller.
  • The interaction was most helpful to me. The instructor did a great job at keeping us engaged. Not once was I bored or felt like this was something forced; something that usually happens with these types of sessions.
  • I left with actionable tips on what I can control during presentations - my body language, presenter position, eye contact, arc of silence, etc.
  • I thought this class was great. The exercises were very useful, and the PowerPoint presentation was helpful. Our instructor provided excellent feedback.
  • Role playing was great, loved the opportunity to learn about ways to better communicate. Personally enjoyed the conflict handling and discussion.
  • I enjoyed the teaching style. Very informative and interactive.
  • Andrew did a great job!! The class was fun and interactive. I'd definitely recommend for anyone looking to get their "feet wet" with public speaking.
  • Andrew's approach to public speaking different and interesting, focusing on feeling physically present rather than giving you a checklist of do's and don'ts. After receiving this "mindfulness"-oriented coaching, I felt empowered me to develop my own style and voice and just be in front of people to tell a story.
  • Great instructor. Very informative
  • Really enjoyed this class. Opened my eyes to different ways to tackle my public speaking and ways to improve that’s far deeper than a good speech but in knowing your body. Loved his enthusiasm!!!! Wish more people in the class had just as much energy but makes sense since we are all nervous to talk publicly. He made it comfortable and had some really good points. Wish it was a multiple session and one class is not enough. Highly recommend!!
  • Great class and community! Cindy is an amazing facilitator and brought out the best in all of us.
  • Andrew was great, very kind and approachable. I think I gained the most from his relaxation techniques which included proper deep breaths and stance.
  • Great class! Valuable key pointers and feedback
  • This class was extremely helpful in preparing me for a recent presentation.
  • We received practical tips that made an instant change in mood. It was one of those rare communication class that made me feel good afterwards.
  • Great course! Some really great techniques to help deal with speaking anxiety and speech delivery/format. A more professional venue would have been good.
  • This class was outstanding! There was a wide range of skill levels in our class and Andrew did a great job making sure everyone elevated their speaking game no matter what their starting place was. I left with new knowledge about how my posture and breath impacts my speaking quality. And I learned some new tips and tricks that I'm going to use going forward. Highly recommended!
  • Great class, great coach!
  • Loved this course! The format was grea. It involved group work as well as getting up in front of the class and utilizing the skills we learned. Andrew provided tangible feedback that I will absolutely use next time I do a presentation. I recommend this course to anyone that wants to work on presentation skills, regardless of the audience you speak in front of as all the tools are applicable to any scenario.
  • Andrews class was completely not what I expected, it was as much an exercise in mindfulness as a crash course in public speaking.
  • Great interactive class -- wonderful lively instructor!
  • Very, very good. Learned so much and it was not at all what I was expecting, in a good way!
  • The class was excellent. The teacher was very resourceful and provided us with very useful tools. Thank you!
  • A wonderful class, so energetic, our teacher was enthusiastic and kept us engaged throughout. Came away with a confidence I didn’t have walking in. Would highly recommend this class and I am keen to attend more!
  • It was really useful and I got many thing to improve in my public presentations
  • Great teacher, very positive and inviting. Appreciated that he gave helpful feedback - never in a critical manner - but backed it up in how it's more natural for the human body in terms of posture. It runs a bit long so expect to stay late if you can. Would recommend!
  • Very informative and it was a lot of fun. It was amazing to find awareness in mind and body before storytelling. It was really a Great class. The instructor was engaged, informative, and funny. He helped me to relax my mind and body and helped me to have fun telling stories.
  • Very good class! Nice techniques, very helpful! A great way to start loosing fear of public speaking.
  • Andrew created a supportive, friendly, and constructive environment while approaching the topic in a way that I haven't seen before. The session focused on fundamentals, which means that the material that's covered can also be applied in meetings and other settings. Well worth it!
  • Our Instructor was great! The class was a bit different than I expected (in a good way!). For some reason I thought we would have to prepare a speech and then present it to the whole class, but there were a lot of interactive exercises. The class ran a little long, but I could tell that the Instructor didn't mind, you can really tell that he cares about teaching people and that he just wants people to improve. I'm looking forward to taking more of his classes and can't wait to practice what I learned in his class.
  • Andrew's class is a great introductory class for anyone who has anxiety with public speaking. He addressed some of the root physical reactions we all have and taught us how to channel them in a positive way. And he doesn't just teach about public speaking, he has you practice it right then and there. The tools I learned have really helped in my speaking engagements and I will always use them. If you want to get over your anxiety in public speaking, this class is a fantastic first step!
  • A very encouraging and helpful first step towards public speaking. Great teacher, friendly environment, and useful low stress instruction.
  • The class was great and I would highly recommend. The only way to really improve is with lots of practice, and the format of the class was very hands on and engaging. Andrew has a lot of energy, and great tricks and tips to help you prepare and succeed when having to speak publicly. There is a lot packed into this 2.5 hour class.
  • I enjoyed jumping out of my comfort zone in a group setting and learning more about the tactics of public speaking It was great to relate our speaking to our overall awareness, breath, and mental energy We completed excersices to drive awareness and improve overall public speaking skills. We brought our fears or anxiety’s about speaking to the table, and worked to implement positive change Andrew did a fantastic job of keeping the group overall engaged in the workshop
  • As someone who suffers from sweaty palms, a cracking voice and scatter thoughts every time I speak to a large group I found this class to be very helpful. Both in terms of understanding why I was having that fear/flight trigger, and also strategy on how to mange it. Obviously with a two day course I'm not ready to give a world class State of the Union speech to thousands of people... but I would now feel comfortable joining a Toastmasters type group (where I could develop that level of speaking ability) or giving a toast at a wedding, which I certainly would not have felt comfortable doing before.
  • Highly recommend this class to anyone looking to brush up on their public speaking skills. We covered a lot in a short time period. Very relaxed atmosphere and Andrew had a great feedback and tips.
  • Andrew was an excellent teacher and had pointed, clear, succinct advice for those looking to improve their public speaking skills. His presentation, which was detailed and easy to follow, was a testament to his experience and knowledge in this particular field. Looking forward to taking another class with him! Also, the WeWork space on 14th St. was a beautiful, collaborative environment and a great place to host this workshop.
  • Recommend this Class to everyone Very smart and intelligent professor

Public speaking involves speaking in front of an audience, whether the purpose is to inform, educate or persuade about specific topics. Public speaking is essential in conveying presentations, thoughts, and ideas. In a world full of information, presentations, conferences, and speeches are meant to inform audiences. Public speaking enhances communication and writing skills by persuading audiences through credibility, logic, and emotions. 

During Ancient Greek times, Aristotle taught the art of speaking and persuasion through public speaking. The art of public speaking has been thriving since antiquity, and now, into modern times, it’s an essential part of networking and enhancing career opportunities in multiple fields. In the fields of education, technology, science, and healthcare, public speaking is an important part of informing multiple audiences on differing topics. 

Why You Should Learn Public Speaking Online

Learning public speaking is an essential skill for furthering your career, networking, and building confidence while speaking in front of large audiences. While public speaking may be nerve-wracking, many find public speaking helpful for improving communication, vocabulary, and presentation skills. In a world full of information and data, presenting in front of crowds is essential for many fields such as education, healthcare, and technology. The benefit of learning public speaking online is the flexibility of distance learning on your own schedule over Zoom or other online tutorials on Youtube.

Virtual Public Speaking Classes 

The differences between in-person and virtual public speaking classes are the notions of flexibility and attending class from your home office versus commuting to class. The virtual public speaking classes save time, money, and valuable resources. CourseHorse offers bookings of virtual public speaking classes, including courses held on Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and other similar software. While virtual courses offer flexibility and are highly convenient, the cost of supplies and materials will have to be bought on your own time to be prepared for online courses. The cost of textbooks and workbooks are included in the bookings of online courses through CourseHorse. 

The first public speaking online workshop is Managing Personality & Behavioral Styles at Work. The workshop begins at $35 per person, taught by Perception Insights. The course offers insight into work styles and personalities, including the ways to adapt and motivate your team members.

Online Vs. In-Person Public Speaking Classes

The difference between online and in-person public speaking classes is attending virtually through Zoom, and the in-person courses have experienced instructors to provide live feedback. Both modalities of online and in-person offer the benefits of working on communication with other students, live feedback from experienced instructors, and the flexibility to learn in the classroom or live online. The cost of materials is included in the booking fee, including any required workbooks or textbooks. Bringing a notebook and pen to take notes is helpful for both online and in-person sessions. 

An electronic device with a steady Wi-Fi connection is needed to attend online courses. Attending courses in-person requires the ability to commute, and online training offers a flexible schedule while students are learning from home. 

Can I Learn Public Speaking for Free Online?

It’s entirely possible to learn public speaking for free online through tutorials and studying influential public speakers such as TED Talks and other resources. However, learning public speaking takes practice, and the guidance of experienced instructors helps with improving communication and confidence. Taking notes while watching lectures, talks, and presentations helps identify your communication style, strengths, and weaknesses. Getting started for free online is possible by watching videos on Youtube, but CourseHorse offers the ability to learn from experienced business professionals.
