Will this work if I’m terrified of speaking?
Yes. The course is built for beginners and “shaky” intermediates. You’ll get step-by-step anxiety reframes, micro-warmups, and a 15-minute daily practice loop, plus worksheets like the “Nervousness Self-Evaluation” and “Breathing Techniques Guide.”
Do I need design skills for slides?
No. You’ll use fill-in templates and a one-idea/one-visual rule.
How fast will I see results?
Most learners feel a meaningful confidence shift after one week of the practice loop.
Do I need fancy gear to start?
No. A phone camera, basic earbuds, and a quiet corner are enough. We include “Best Camera + Mic Settings for Speakers” and a simple room-treatment checklist to upgrade quality over time.
How much time should I budget each week?
Plan 2–3 hours: ~60–90 minutes to watch lessons, ~60 minutes to rehearse using the Run-of-Show and Practice Logs, and ~30 minutes to apply a template (outline, slide, or Q&A drill).
I have a strong accent—will that be a problem?
Not at all. Clarity beats “perfect” accent. You’ll use articulation, pacing, and emphasis drills from the “Vocal Mastery” PDFs to improve intelligibility while keeping your natural voice.
Can I turn this into real opportunities (jobs, clients, promotions)?
Yes. The course shows an ethical follow-up system (“From Stage to Pipeline”) with copy templates, lead-nurture emails, and a Talk Impact Tracker to measure results without spamming.
