Have you ever wanted to improve your presenta-tion style? Speak more confidently? Now you can. Speech Arts classes develop the essentials of effective speaking including volume, clarity, and expression. Speaking skills are honed by rehearsing and presenting poetry, prose and monologues. With impromptu speaking exercises, and a final presentation in front of a live audience, students challenge their public-speaking comfort zone, ultimately increasing their confidence.
