There is a difference between an acting coach and a speech coach. When the moment is live, the words are yours, the stakes are real, and your delivery affects how people judge your credibility, leadership, warmth, and authority. Our formally trained speech coaches provide direct, practical feedback in a confidential and supportive setting so you understand what is working, what is not, and what to do next time.
Speaking on camera, at an awards event, in front of press, at a fundraiser, before a board, or in a live interview requires more than performance technique. It requires the ability to articulate your own thoughts clearly, comfortably, and authentically while managing pressure in real time.
Confidentiality matters. TSIC is a family-run firm founded in 1964, and for more than 60 years we have coached high-profile individuals around the world with discretion and respect. We understand not only the privacy required when working with someone in the public eye, but also the psychology involved in coaching communication skills for people in high-visibility positions.
You may come to our office in Massachusetts, one of our coaches can travel to you anywhere in the world, or sessions can happen remotely by Zoom and similar technology. Coaching is private, customized, and tailored to your specific communication demands.
Like doctors, our coaches do not become star struck. You meet privately with a coach who assesses your current strengths, identifies where improvement is needed, and builds a practical plan. Nervousness, message framing, audience connection, delivery, and clarity can all be addressed.
Jon Platt, Chairman and CEO of Sony Music Publishing, has publicly said: “I owe a great deal of my success to The Speech Improvement Company. Working with them changed my life and I would not be where I am today if I had not met them.” He has also shared that he still relies on TSIC today.
Common topics include structuring thoughts, being persuasive, speaking as yourself, framing a message, handling questions, avoiding media traps, award speeches, conference speaking, fundraising presentations, delivery techniques, articulation, and controlling nervousness.
