BANGALORE
Public Speaking through Theatre
Through this 3-month Public Speaking Programme, the student will develop confident and effective communication skills. This is an essential skill for success in academics, leadership, and social interactions. This programme will allow the student to articulate their thoughts clearly, structure their ideas logically, and speak with a sense of presence in any setting. Through guided instruction and practice, participants will overcome stage fear, refine their presentation skills, and develop strong self-expression—equipping them with lifelong skills for future success.
As the final objective of this course, the student will take the LAMDA (London Academy of Music & Dramatic Art) examination in Speaking in Public and apply their learnings. Upon completing this examination, the student will be awarded a certificate from LAMDA. While highly recommended, this is an optional examination; those not taking the exam will have the same learning journey and an internal assessment.
Certificate from J’s Academy will be awarded on successful completion of the programme for that level.
