The SPACE Speechmakers Club is an 18-hour course which aims to create a supportive and immersive learning environment where participants meet, practise and improve their speech delivery skills. 
 

Practical exercises will be a key component of the SPACE Speechmakers Club. Each session provides hands-on opportunities for participants to apply the concepts learned in their previous public speaking and presentation skills training into practice on an ongoing basis.

Participants receive valuable peer and trainer feedback to enhance their speech delivery skills. Participants also learn how to draft speeches that impress their audience. 

Each session includes interactive exercises, group discussions, critiquing and a speech delivery exercise which provides opportunities for participants to receive feedback on their strengths and weaknesses, and, more importantly, troubleshoot, identify improvement areas, address them and finetune for perfection.

Session 1	Recap of Effective Speech Delivery
Session 2	Mastering Body Language and Gestures
Session 3	Developing Vocal Variety and Articulation
