Master the Art of Confident, Impactful Public Speaking

Public speaking is more than delivering words in front of a group. It means connecting with your audience and sharing your message with clarity and confidence. Whether you are preparing for presentations at work, want to speak with more presence in meetings, or simply want to communicate more effectively in everyday life, developing your public speaking skills is a powerful step forward.
If the thought of standing up and speaking makes you nervous or you are unsure how to keep people engaged, you’re not alone. But confidence is something that can be learned. With the right tools and training, you can become a clear, compelling communicator. That’s exactly what our public speaking classes in Los Angeles are designed to help you do.
Why Choose Public Speaking Classes at Michelle Danner Acting Studio?
At Michelle Danner Acting Studio, we specialize in making adults feel comfortable stepping in front of a room to speak with control, purpose, and connection. Our instructors bring years of experience in acting, performing, and coaching to help you uncover your most confident, authentic speaking voice.
We offer a supportive environment where adults at every level can learn the techniques that build presence. Whether you’re a beginner or someone with some experience, we’ll meet you where you are and help you grow. We keep our class sizes small, so you receive personalized feedback and attention in every session.
What You Will Learn
Our goal is not to turn you into a performer. It’s to help you find control over your voice, body, and message. Each class is designed to help you speak with more clarity and confidence in any setting.
Here’s what you can expect to learn:
– Voice training to develop clear, articulate speech
– Tools to improve pacing, pitch, and volume
– Techniques to reduce nervous energy and improve posture
– Strategies to structure your thoughts and speak more effectively
– On-the-spot coaching and feedback to refine your delivery
All lessons are grounded in real-world speaking situations, such as workplace presentations, impromptu conversations, or special occasion speeches. You’ll practice with purpose so that your skills translate to everyday life.
Class Format and Experience
Every session combines practical instruction with hands-on exercises. Instructors guide you through speaking warm-ups and activities that teach techniques in real time. Students give speeches, perform short exercises, and receive individual coaching throughout the process.
Sample class activities include:
– Low-pressure warm-up speeches
– Vocal projection and breath training
– Posture and body language guidance
– Constructive group feedback
– Peer observation and critique
This flexible format ensures you’re not just learning techniques but applying them in ways that feel relevant to your personal and professional life. Evening and weekend classes are offered to fit your schedule.
Who Should Take These Classes?
Our public speaking classes in Los Angeles are designed for a wide range of adult learners. Whether you’re trying to overcome nerves, level up in your career, or simply express yourself more clearly, these classes can help.
You’ll benefit if you are:
– A business professional preparing for meetings or leadership roles
– A job seeker wanting to deliver strong interviews or network better
– An entrepreneur who pitches regularly
– Someone preparing to speak at a personal event
– An actor looking to improve vocal clarity and control
No experience is required. Just a willingness to show up, practice, and improve.
Lasting Benefits Beyond the Classroom
Public speaking confidence extends well beyond the classroom. Many students report feeling more comfortable in conversations, more capable during interviews, and more persuasive when presenting ideas.
As you develop better control over your voice and body language, your confidence will show. People will not only hear what you say, but feel the intention behind it. That is what effective communication is all about. Spots are filling fast. Do not wait to become the confident speaker you know you can be. Join our public speaking classes in Los Angeles and start your transformation today.
