Frequently asked questions.
Yes, the course specifically addresses pronunciation and clarity for non-native speakers. However, the focus is on being understood, not eliminating your accent. You'll learn to speak clearly and confidently with your natural voice rather than trying to sound like someone else. Many successful international speakers have accents—clarity and confidence matter more.

Significant practice! Multiple modules include speaking exercises and role-plays. The final project in Module 10 is a complete 5-7 minute presentation delivery with Q&A. While solo practice is valuable, we encourage finding practice audiences (colleagues, friends, or community forum members).

The course includes self-assessment frameworks and peer review opportunities through community forums. Module 10 specifically focuses on instructor and peer feedback on your final presentation. You can also purchase add-on coaching sessions for detailed feedback from Amanda or certified coaches.
While the full course is 10 weeks, you can focus on essential modules (1, 3, 4, 6) for immediate preparation. Even a few days of focused work on presentation structure, opening techniques, signposting, and delivery basics can significantly improve your performance.
