SPEAKING.APP

Private Practice for Speech Anxiety.

Become more familiar with what you want to say before facing an audience.

If public speaking makes you nervous, start with a private recording. Practice a short answer, review its structure and delivery, and repeat it at your own pace before trying it with another person or an audience.

So, basically, a brilliant message kind of dies if you, like, can't hold the room, you know.

What you get

01

Use a structure when you are worried about going blank

A simple framework can give you a clear next step while you speak. Practice with What-So What-Now What and PREP and use whichever is easiest to remember.

02

Begin with a private recording

Private practice is a low-pressure place to learn the material and notice what happens to your pace, filler words, and structure.

03

Track what changes between attempts

Repeat a comparable prompt and look for specific changes in pace, filler words, and answer structure rather than judging the whole performance at once.

Someone in the group said: 'Wow, your opening was so good.' I said, 'I got it from the speaking app.'

It was the least nervous I've ever felt pitching, despite it probably being the biggest audience I've pitched to. The constructive feedback I received helped me practise properly and know my pitch better than ever.

It helped me turn a rough, jargon-heavy pitch into something much clearer and more compelling.

speaking.app was incredibly helpful while I was preparing pitches for my business. It is a great tool for anyone looking to improve their communication skills or practise for presentations, interviews, or public speaking.

The rewritten version and the filler-word feedback were huge, they showed me exactly where I was using filler words and helped me cut them.

The detail it went into was particularly impressive, with the WPM and Vocal Expression analysis.

It did exactly what I needed for the showcase. I'd come back to it for another event and would refer other founders to it.

The hard 3-min stop was annoying at first but such a good setup for me to cut excess out.

Off the back of how the pitch went, I was introduced to an investor, and I genuinely think that outcome was a direct result of the improvements I made through speaking.app.

In the early stages I was also using the recommended adjustments verbatim while I was building out the flesh of my pitch, as I found them to be quite high quality.

Common questions

Why does public speaking trigger so much anxiety?

Public speaking can involve being watched and evaluated, and people experience that pressure differently. Worry about forgetting the material, being judged, or not knowing how the audience will react can all contribute. If the anxiety is persistent or interferes with daily life, consider speaking with a qualified health professional.

Does practicing actually reduce the anxiety, or just hide it?

Rehearsal can make the material and the act of speaking feel more familiar, but it does not guarantee that anxiety will disappear. Gradually practicing in more realistic situations, such as with one trusted person and later a small group, may be more useful than private rehearsal alone.

Why does private practice help if the fear is about audiences?

Private practice lets you learn the material and work on one speaking habit at a time without an audience. It can be a useful first step, but it is not the same as practicing in front of other people or receiving professional support for anxiety.

What physical techniques help in the moment?

Some people find slow, comfortable breathing or briefly grounding their attention in the room helpful before speaking. Avoid forcing a particular breathing pattern if it feels uncomfortable. These techniques may help you settle in the moment, but they are not a treatment for persistent anxiety.
