Alot of poeple assume that Public Speaking is learnt at home or self learnt watching other people and require no practice. Why outsource help for Public Speaking Workshop? When you search for a Public Speaking Workshop, remember these tools to watch out for:
1) Exposure
Exposing yourself to people of different ages, background and strangers is a big bonus to help you get a feel of an audience. When you expose yourself to an audience, you will learnt to be open and courageous. At home, there is minimal exposure to the outside world that is real experience.
2) Language

What is out there?
Public Speaking Workshop is a niche course which is not widely available in Malaysia. Suka Studio offers 4-5 programmes a year named “Mic-Drop”, “Master Communicator Bootcamp” and “Memory Gym” which all support Public Speaking and Effective Communication in it’s own ways.
1. Mic-Drop
Remember that time when you went on stage, and held the microphone in front of strangers? You felt nervous, but you fought through and said "Hi" to everyone. Then people smiled and you felt stronger immediately! The next 10 minutes was an experience of a lifetime. Public speaking will give you the experience of a lifetime if done right with the right guidance.
Mic-drop is about creating a group of children and young adults to speak what is in their hearts and mind. We create a safe space for children to share something they are proud of or something painful they are going through that they find difficult to share elsewhere. Mic-drop is mainly to create a supportive community for children of all ages to just speak their mind, whatever that may be.
We know for sure, ever human’s core desire is to be heard. At Mic-drop we provide that space. With that, is the ability and skill to speak openly and honestly.
2. Master Communicator Bootcamp
Would you like your child to be great in Public Speaking and have Effective Communication Skills?
We've come up with some great formulas to give your children a strong kick start to feeling confident, and provide them with useful tools they can use for the rest of the lives.
It is a 13-week programme scheduled every Sunday starting from the launch date. We are running the bootcamp for the 5th time now since its launch. Created to transform children from all backgrounds to become great Communicators and impactful Leaders.
By the end of the programme, each child will present in front of a panel of judges to show-case their development, and most importantly, experience real transformation. They will not only improve their public speaking skills, but also their English language and confidence 110%!
3. Memory Gym
It is an 8-week programme scheduled every Saturday starting from the launch date. Suka Studio will train your kids to remember better and memorise easily.
As we all know, it is not just about memorising but also understanding.
