Online options to improve spoken communication and confidence for work

[Aveno432]

I'm really keen to improve my spoken communication skills. I'm a nervous speaker, repeat myself, find conciseness tricky and struggle with structure. It's impacting my work. I've tried Toastmasters but found their role structures really strange. Is there anything else online I could try whether it's courses, workshops, groups etc. I live quite rurally so there's nothing in person. Thanks for any recommendations.

Anyone?

?

if you are a very nervous speaker, repeating yourself etc, then could you ask your employer (if you have one) if they could pay for a course?

I'm happy to pay myself as it'll benefit me lifelong. I just can't find a course or group.

My lovely singing teacher is developing a new course, she already does public speaking workshops, but I don't know whether the new course will be online.

A lot of the stage presence, breath control, voice control applies to singing and speaking

You could google freeyourvoicehub and her name is Vicky.

Or find a local vocal coach.

Thank you

Have a look at Amy cuddy on Ted https://www.ted.com/embed/amy_cuddy_your_body_language_may_shape_who_you_are
look for local speech and drama coaches- LAMDA trained is useful.

I cannot recommend this enough... I was lucky enough to do in-person, pre Covid. Absolutely eye opening!

Thank you everyone
