“After seeing reviews and reading about situations similar to mine, I knew I had to attend this speech class in NYC. The warm atmosphere was felt almost immediately upon entering, and the progression I feel I’ve obtained is top tier. Not only was Herman able to identify issues I’ve had with public speaking, he was able to encourage me with helpful tips to work through what I thought was a serious issue. I can honestly say I feel more confident with my speaking, and others in the class helped me by giving pointers on where I can improve. I would 100% recommend this course for anyone having doubts about public speaking, or just to improve their public speaking capabilities.”
