| Comment | Not directly "public speaking" but improv classes are quite good for this sort of thing. I'm in academia at the moment and was recommended it by other academics as it helps you to think on your feet when performing or presenting in front of any size crowd.
The Glasgow Improv Theatre is the main one that comes to mind but it's quite a formal structured type with the goal being getting into improv more long term. Eventbrite has one off workshops and note casual options.
Did a day's improv workshop while I was down South for uni stuff, and I'm a bit shy and Hate Hate Hate giving presentations and standing in front of crowds. It was only one day so couldn't do Loads, but it's definitely helped me reframe how I come at public speaking and letting go of trying to memorise every single little thing and just Be In The Moment. |
