This eight-hour course focuses on instilling the six basic skills of communication:



1. Verbal Communication

2. Non-verbal Communication

3. Volume

4. Tone

5. Pitch

6. Pace



HOURS 1-2:

We define, identify and practice all six skills through: completing worksheets; watching TED talks, instructor & peer demonstrations; performing drill exercises and more. A short, non-graded quiz is then administered to ensure students understand the foundational skills before moving on.



HOURS 3-4:

We present short speeches about why we're so awesome, and then practice the basics of interpersonal communication and small-talk through mock interviews and encounters.



HOURS 5-6:

We work on thought organization and limited-preparation speaking by presenting "How To" speeches and coming up with short stories based upon a prompt of a person, place and problem.



HOURS 7-8:

Finally, hours seven and eight are spent annotating, practicing and presenting a 45-second speech about a topic of the student's choosing.



WORRY-FREE POLICY:

Fret not; if your child is unhappy after the first session, you have until 24 hours before the second session to withdraw from class, and you will receive a refund for the remainder of the hours.

INSTRUCTOR:

Loren Raye is an award-winning radio host (NYC & Boston) and public speaking coach. She was named the 2004 NJ State Champion of Prose Reading and is an assistant coach for the prestigious Ridge Forensics Speech & Debate Team. She's also a voiceover artist, wife and mother.
