Best Public Speaking Course for Adults
Public Speaking Courses for Adults teach working professionals to present, lead and speak with confidence. At Speech Academy Asia, we use a structured, trainer-led programme that consistently achieves results. As a result, our graduates go on to ace every presentation, get that promotion, win that top salesman award, or secure that funding from venture capitalists. In addition, we offer a variety of formats, from corporate workshops for teams to personal 1-to-1 coaching.
The course curriculum was developed by Speech Academy Asia’s founders, Kelvin Tan and Lukas Seet. Together, they built a proprietary, trademarked methodology specifically for real-world presentations, meetings and interviews. Lukas is a certified NLP Master Practitioner who has trained individuals in public speaking and leadership since 2003. Meanwhile, Kelvin is a master trainer and former competitive storyteller.
Today, Speech Academy Asia has 15 branches across Singapore, Brunei and Sri Lanka. We are also a People’s Association-registered training provider, and we have delivered this public speaking training to organisations including National University of Singapore (NUS), Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore Polytechnic (SP), Nestle, Prudential, World Wildlife Fund (WWF) and Singapore Press Holdings (SPH).

What Happens in Your First Session?
First, we conduct the Speech Limiters Test & Review, a diagnostic assessment of your current communication strengths and weaknesses, reviewed one-on-one with a trainer. As a result, you leave session one with a specific, personalised starting point, not a generic syllabus.
What Will You Learn in This Public Speaking Course?
Public speaking is a learnable skill, not a fixed trait. That’s why this course breaks it into specific, trainable components using Speech Academy Asia’s own proprietary, trademarked methodology:
- Neuro Somatics™: a mind-body method using diaphragm breathing, power poses and physical techniques to manage anxiety at a physiological level.
- The B.E.S.T Framework: Body language, Emotions, Sentence structure and Tonality. Together, they form the four fundamentals of confident delivery.
- The I.P.A.D Framework: a speech-structuring method (Intrigue, Problem, Address, Delight) for organising ideas clearly, even under pressure.
- Language Memory Programming Semantics™ (LMPS): a technique for memorising content so that you can deliver it without sounding rehearsed.
- Speech Linguistic Patterns™ (SLP): a comprehensive compilation drawing on techniques from 1,000 of the world’s best speakers. In particular, you’ll learn to use metaphors, analogies, repetition and rhetorical devices for effective communication.
In fact, according to Toastmasters International, one of the world’s most established public speaking organisations, structured practice and feedback are consistently identified as the most effective way to build public speaking confidence. For this reason, the same principle shapes Speech Academy Asia’s module structure below.
