    I cannot express how grateful and rewarding my experience with Brooklyn Letters has been. Her tutor Ms. Daria is so knowledgeable, amazing, kind and awesome. My daughter has made so much progress in Literacy and Math and it's all … More thanks to Ms. Daria. I know my daughter is sad that she can no longer work with Ms. Daria, as she looked forward to their sessions every week. Thank you again!

    Nicole has been an amazing therapist!! She played a tremendous role in our daughter’s speech progress and overall development. She has come such a long way and we are so happy with the therapy she received!
  • Avatar Colin Peters ★★★★★ 6 months ago
    We could not be happier with the services Valerie provided! She is very thoughtful and knowledgeable and provided significant guidance to support our daughter's speech development outside of our scheduled sessions. She established … More a great working relationship with her, and she will definitely be missed! Your business model is amazing and it was an absolute pleasure working with Valerie. I've referred your organization and Valerie to the Executive Director of our daughter's school and friends/colleagues who are in need of speech therapy services.

    Christina was absolutely wonderful. She went out of her way to win my son over and it worked. He looked forward to her visits and his speech improved so much under her care. She was super flexible and it’s clear she truly cares. We adore … More Christina and we’re going to miss her. Almost sad he improved so much! She’s simply amazing and we can’t say enough how great she is. I would recommend her services to anyone and everyone, without hesitation. Thank you so much for connecting us with her!
  • Avatar Heather Liljengren ★★★★★ a year ago
    We cannot say enough good things about Effie, the ASL teacher, who was so engaged and effective with our 2 year old daughter from the very first session! Effie gladly included our whole family in the sessions! Her expertise and fantastic … More personality gave our daughter a way to communicate that she was so desperately seeking. The coordinators at Brooklyn Letters were so helpful and communicative…I would highly recommend their services!
  • Avatar Brigid Bower ★★★★★ 11 months ago
    Samantha Dalmas was fantastic! We saw her for a feeding therapy evaluation and while she doesn’t think my daughter needs more feeding therapy sessions at this time, but she gave me lots of tips to try. If my daughter's doctors want … More to see more progress at her next appointment, I wouldn’t hesitate to reach out to Samantha again.
  • Avatar Duygu Başaran ★★★★★ 11 months ago
    Brooklyn Letters was recommended to me through a friend's speech therapist friend in NJ. The articulation evaluation for my daughter went well. We were pleased with Kristin's services.
  • Avatar Kelley Peters-Patel ★★★★★ a year ago
    Melissa was wonderful. Our daughter warmed to her immediately and by the time she left, had already started "practicing" some of the techniques Melissa had shown her. I will not hesitate at all to reach out to Melissa again, should … More the need arise.
  • Avatar R Elmore ★★★★★ a year ago
    Aileen was INCREDIBLY helpful to us, both in assessing possible origins of my grandson's food aversions, as well as informing us of various available interventions to consider.
    I can’t thank you and Brooklyn Letters enough for connecting
    … More us with Aileen. In all our feeding therapy journey we have not gotten anything near the kind of benefit that we did from her. Her knowledge, professionalism, and responsiveness have put us on the path of progress with my grandson and has also made us feel genuinely well cared for.
  • Avatar Christine Weiher ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    We were amazed with Allison! She met my son at 2 1/2 years old, not speaking much at all, and over a computer, and she was able to develop a bond and friendship, so much so that he would look forward to his weekly computer time with Allison. … More I was not sure how the speech therapy would go- but we are so happy that we tried it out and continued. It allowed my son to gain confidence in his speech, make a new friend :), and also give him the skills and a bit of understanding of how to shape his mouth or where to place his tongue to make the proper sounds. We were extremely happy with Allison- she was fantastic to work with.
  • Avatar Andrea Saffady ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    My sessions with Karen have been extremely helpful. My speech has improved tremendously. In fact, I just finished 2 hours of conducting interviews with a consulting client via MS Teams and I have an upcoming conference call. Both my … More neurologist and neurosurgeon remarked about how good my speech is. Much of the day it is perfect, although I still have some rough spots when I get tired or speak too quickly. One of my granddaughters is a speech pathology student at Ithaca College. She sat in on 2 sessions while she was home for winter break, and she was very impressed with Karen.
  • Avatar Jacob B ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were delighted with Christie. First, and most importantly, our son made great strides under her guidance. So great, that we felt he no longer needed help! She was incredibly patient and kind with him and our son really responded to … More her. Christie was also great with me and my wife. She provided thorough and informative updates on our son's progress and which exercises she was using with him, so we could reinforce what she was teaching him. All in all, we had a fabulous experience with Christie and would highly recommend her.
  • Avatar Jessica C ★★★★★ a year ago
    Theo was wonderful and his work with my son has produced some progress. I am grateful for the services Theo provided.
  • Avatar Melissa Stevens ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Highly recommend Jill. She is a total pleasure to work with. After a few months working with Jill, my son is reading above grade level and LOVES to read. Mission accomplished!
  • Avatar Demet Evren ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Paige was great and we had been really happy with her. I would highly recommend her! I recommend Brooklyn Letters to whomever asks for a speech therapist.
  • Avatar Jeizel Rosenthal ★★★★★ 2 years ago
    Isabel was WONDERFUL and our son absolutely adored her, and he is making great progress with his reading and writing.
  • Avatar Lesley Duval ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Theo was fantastic with our 4yo son. We were very worried that his progress would fall off when we had to switch to remote sessions, but Theo kept our son happy and engaged through the screen. Highly highly recommend!
  • Avatar Samantha Packard ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    We've been working with Theo from Brooklyn Letters for close to 4 months now and the results are apparent; our daughter has vastly improved her speech in a relatively short amount of time. We make "Theo Day" a celebration … More in our house with pancakes for breakfast, and the enthusiasm is matched in the sessions. Theo is fun, patient, professional, and caring, and he gives us the tools to take the lessons beyond the session. Thank you Theo, and Brooklyn Letters, for helping our daughter express herself.
  • Avatar Travis Ricca ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    I worked with Alina to enhance my pronunciation, tone, and pacing while communicating socially and in a work environment. She was great to work with and clear about goals and learning objectives. The improvement from day 1 has been tremendous! … More
  • Avatar Enrico Bermudez ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    Cathy has been excellent with us and our son. We will sorely miss her. He has improved significantly with Cathy’s help. Cathy was a true partner with us, especially as we pursued additional help through our son’s school system.
  • Avatar Kayne Elisabeth Wilk ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We really loved working with Alina, she is so fantastic. Patient yet firm, and determined the best course of action very clearly and succintly for us. And it all transitioned so well to Zoom as well. I will definitely be back in touch for … More services for our other child after summer break!
  • Avatar Jen S ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Vera was amazing! My 11 yo daughter made progress so quickly and really looked forward to her sessions. She was kept motivated and engaged.
  • Avatar susie tofte ★★★★★ 3 years ago
    The work that Allison P. did with our daughter over the years has been invaluable to us. Our daughter had such a good relationship with Allison, and it allowed them to work really well together - even remotely these past 6 months. This … More year, Allison went above and beyond by helping us throughout the neuropsych eval we did, trying to re-open our daughter's IEP at her school, and eventually landing her at our chosen school. She was in contact with our daughter's teachers, with the neuropsychologist, and made herself available as a reference to speak on behalf of our daughter's learning differences.
    Allison stopped by our house last week to give our daughter cupcakes and say goodbye, and I literally cried with appreciation for what an amazing speech therapist she has been. She has been our daughter's biggest champion. The new families that she will work with this year are lucky to have her.
  • Avatar Alicia Perez-Katz ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Sydney was great! Our son was sad to end his sessions with her, which says a lot. We appreciated her honest assessment of his skill level, and he now has materials to self monitor and practice. Thank you!
  • Avatar Kristin Ames ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Our experience with Theo was terrific. Theo was great with my son. He developed a positive relationship with him based on sincerity, respect, trust and a deep personal connection. In their lessons, Theo was encouraging, creative and kind. … More He helped our son understand how to differentiate the sounds he made when he spoke, and gave him great exercises to practice every week between lessons. Our son was sorry to have the lessons come to an end, but recognized that Theo had helped him as much as possible and it was time for him to stop. Theo explained to him (and us) how to keep working to get the last 5%, and encouraged him to keep working on the exercises on his own. I have recommended Theo to another parent who noticed my son's improvement and inquired for her own son.
    We are all grateful to have gotten to know Theo, and we greatly appreciate all the work he did to help our son.
  • Avatar Aisha Holder ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    "I have nothing but wonderful things to say about Michelle Macroy-Higgins. We are extremely pleased with her work with our daughter. I was so grateful for my daughter to have a speech therapist who is a researcher (specialty in late … More talkers), graduate professor and practitioner. Her expertise was clearly evident in our conversations and work with our daughter. She was very responsive to my questions and often sent articles and other materials about language development that I found helpful. Thankfully, my daughter's speech improved tremendously. Michelle developed such a warm relationship with my daughter. My daughter was always excited to see Michelle and would greet her at the door with a big hug. Lastly, I would add that Michelle always demonstrated empathy with me as a mother who was initially worried about her daughter's language development. I could go on and on about how pleased we were with Michelle's work."
  • Avatar Andrea Peartree ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Theo is a wonderful Clinton Hill speech therapist. We were really pleased with him. Our son showed drastic improvement, not only in his speech but in his confidence.
  • Avatar mario costa ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    Alexa has been an enthusiastic, reliable, well prepared and caring teacher for our 6 year old daughter. She has been able to improve and increase our daughter's confidence lesson by lesson with patience and competence; through varied … More and productive didactic practice. Alexa has engaged our daughter in several activities that always kept her motivated and eager to learn literacy. My wife and I, both of us are educators, feel so fortunate to have had the opportunity to observe Alexa's pedagogical skills. Alexa has had a big impact on our daughter literacy growth. Thank you Brooklyn Letters!
  • Avatar Lily Alt ★★★★★ 4 years ago
    We were absolutely DELIGHTED with Marsha's services. She was wonderful. We found her to be kind, fun, engaging, very knowledgeable. She provided us with clear instructions and additional written handouts each week. She engaged our … More son with different techniques and toys, and showed us how to use her techniques when we were interacting with him. I actually just texted her on Saturday - Our son finally said "more" - one of the target words we had been working on with her. It was a total joy to hear, and I had to share it with her - she wrote back immediately to congratulate us. I am so appreciative of her expertise, and wish we could have seen her for longer. I recommended her to another family in our neighborhood who is looking for a speech therapist.

Public Speaking Coaching for Professionals and Everyday Speakers

At Brooklyn Letters, we provide 1:1 public speaking coaching for individuals who want to sharpen their speaking skills and communicate with confidence—no speech disorder required. Whether you’re preparing for a job interview, delivering a keynote, pitching your business, or giving a toast, we help you master the art of impactful communication.

The coaches we work with are nationally certified communication experts with advanced training in voice, tone, presence, and delivery. This often includes teaching the accent breathing method for improved vocal control.  Yes, they are licensed speech-language pathologists (SLPs), but this isn’t therapy. This is elite coaching focused on performance, not correction. You don’t need a diagnosis to benefit from our speech services—just the desire to grow.

We travel to you across the NYC Tri-State area: Brooklyn, Manhattan, The Bronx, Queens, Staten Island, Yonkers, Long Island, Connecticut (CT), Westchester, and New Jersey (NJ). Sessions are private, flexible, and personalized to your goals.

What is Public Speaking?

Public speaking is the ability to share your message clearly and effectively with an audience—whether it’s two people or two hundred. It isn’t just about talking in front of others. It’s about shaping your message, controlling your delivery, and keeping your audience engaged. When done well, public speaking can elevate your leadership, boost career potential, and leave lasting impressions.

Key elements of successful public speaking include: clarity and confidence, pacing, tone, and vocal variety, purposeful gestures and eye contact, and audience engagement.

What Makes Public Speaking Challenging?

Even experienced professionals struggle with public speaking. Common hurdles include performance anxiety or fear of judgment (glossophobia), rambling or lack of message clarity, poor voice modulation or body language, and losing track of time or key points.

Our coaching tackles both the technical and emotional aspects of speaking. We teach tools to calm nerves, organize content, and deliver with confidence—even when unexpected things go wrong.

Why Choose Brooklyn Letters?

We specialize in performance-based communication coaching. Here’s what sets us apart:

  1. 1:1 Customized Coaching: Each session is tailored to your specific needs—from improving structure and timing to conquering stage fright.
  2. Communication Experts, Not Just Coaches: The public speaking coaches we work with are licensed speech-language pathologists trained in advanced speech science, vocal projection, and audience engagement. Think of us as communication strategists who elevate your message.
  3. We’re Not Therapy. We’re Precision Coaching: While the licensed speech-language pathologists we work with are trained clinicians, this service is for individuals without speech disorders. You simply want to communicate better—and we help you do just that.
  4. Support for Public Speaking Anxiety: For those with more intense anxiety, we can connect you with licensed mental health professionals in our network who specialize in performance-based coaching.
  5. Evidence-Based Techniques: We teach practical skills such as varying pitch and tone to avoid monotony, using pauses to add emphasis, gesturing with purpose, making eye contact with ease, and structuring content that sticks.
  6. Flexible, Comfortable Sessions: We meet you where you are—your home, office, or a quiet public space. We also offer virtual sessions. You set the pace and environment.
  7. Tech-Enhanced Coaching: Our AI-powered tools offer real-time feedback on pacing, tone, filler words, and simulate realistic speaking scenarios. These tools (optional and ranging from $12–$79/month) extend your progress between sessions.
  8. Real Results, Real Confidence: Our clients report significant improvements in clarity, confidence, and engagement—whether for work presentations, interviews, panels, or personal events.

Top Public Speaking Tips We Teach:

  • Open with impact: Start strong with a story or question.
  • Know your audience: Speak to their needs, not just your content.
  • Body language matters: Your stance speaks louder than your words.
  • Vocal variety keeps attention: Shift pitch and pace intentionally.
  • Listen and respond: Active listening builds trust and connection.

Will Your Company Cover the Cost?

Many companies are willing to cover or subsidize professional development, including public speaking coaching, because it boosts individuals’ skills and productivity. However, these programs may not be well-advertised, so the first step is to inquire with your manager or HR about any “professional development stipend” or similar benefit.

If there’s no formal policy, you can still make a case by showing how the training will specifically benefit you, your team, and ultimately the company. As online learning grows in popularity, more employers are open to sponsoring such classes—so it’s worth asking around to find out if yours will too.

How Do You Connect with Your Audience?

One of the most important aspects of public speaking is your ability to connect with your audience. Whether you are delivering a keynote speech or a business presentation, establishing a connection ensures that your message resonates and leaves an impact.

Here are some public speaking tips to help you connect with your audience:

  • Relatability: Frame your message to resonate with the audience’s experiences, challenges, or aspirations. Share anecdotes, personal stories, or examples that reflect their world.
  • Engagement: Ask questions, interact, and invite participation where appropriate. This keeps your audience mentally engaged and focused on your message.
  • Body Language: Use gestures and posture to emphasize points and make yourself approachable. Maintaining eye contact ensures that your audience feels seen and valued.
  • Voice Modulation: Incorporate variety in your tone and pacing to pique the audience’s interest. Monotony is a quick way to lose engagement.

Incorporating these speaking techniques can significantly elevate your connection with the audience. Remember, people engage better when they feel the speaker is talking to them, not at them.

How to Overcome the Fear of Public Speaking

public speaking coaching 2

Public speaking fear is real, but the good news is that it can be managed and overcome. At Brooklyn Letters, our speech services focus on teaching you how to cope with public speaking anxiety through various tips and public speaking techniques.

Here are some ways you can start overcoming your fears:

  • Preparation: Proper preparation is one of the most effective ways to tackle fear. Knowing your material inside and out will make you feel more in control and reduce anxiety.
  • Practice: The more you practice, the more confident you become. Rehearsing your speech in front of a mirror, friends, or family can help you get used to the delivery.
  • Breathing Techniques: Deep breathing exercises can help calm your nerves before and during your speech. This helps prevent shaky voices and scattered thoughts.
  • Visualization: Picture yourself delivering your speech successfully. Visualization is a powerful tool that can help reduce anxiety and boost confidence.

Overcoming public speaking fear is about managing anxiety, not eliminating it. Even seasoned speakers feel nervous at times. The goal is to channel that energy into your speech, making it more dynamic and engaging.

Top 5 Public Speaking Tips for Engaging Presentations

  1. Start with a Strong Opening: Capture attention immediately with a compelling story, interesting fact, or provocative question.
  2. Know Your Audience: Research your audience’s interests, preferences, and needs to make your message relevant and engaging.
  3. Use Effective Body Language: Posture, gestures, and movement on stage all help convey confidence and emphasize important points.
  4. Vocal Variety: Monotone delivery can quickly lose your audience’s attention. Vary your pitch, pace, and volume to keep them engaged.
  5. Practice Active Listening: Listen actively and respond thoughtfully during Q&A sessions or audience interactions. This makes the audience feel respected and valued.

Speaking Techniques to Captivate Any Audience

Captivating an audience requires more than words—it’s about how you say them. Public speaking tips like varying your tone, incorporating pauses, and maintaining confident body language can transform a dull presentation into an engaging one.

Here’s how you can use speaking techniques to captivate any audience:

  • Inflection: Use vocal inflection to convey emotion and highlight important points.
  • Gestures: Incorporate hand gestures to emphasize key moments in your speech visually.
  • Eye Contact: Build a connection with your audience by maintaining eye contact, which conveys sincerity and confidence.
  • Pacing: Don’t rush through your speech. Pausing at key moments allows the audience to absorb your message and builds suspense.

Master these speaking techniques, and you’ll see how your audience responds with more engagement and interest.

When to Seek Professional Guidance

If you’ve been struggling with public speaking fear or feel that your presentation skills aren’t improving, it might be time to seek professional public speaking help.

Here are signs that you might benefit from working with a coach:

  • Consistent Nervousness: If your anxiety prevents you from speaking or causes severe physical symptoms, it’s time to seek public speaking coaching.
  • Lack of Structure: If your speeches or presentations lack flow or coherence, a coach can help you organize your thoughts and improve your speech training.
  • Poor Audience Engagement: If you notice that your audience isn’t engaging or is tuning out, professional coaching can teach you the necessary speaking techniques to captivate them.

Professional guidance ensures you have the right tips and tools to improve your performance and overcome challenges.

Public speaking is a skill that anyone can improve with the right strategies and guidance. Whether you’re seeking public speaking tips, need public speaking coaching, or want to enhance your oratory skills, Brooklyn Letters offers expert public speaking coaching to help you achieve your goals. In addition to public speaking coaching, the professionals we work with also provide support in elocution, speech coaching, accent reduction coaching, language therapy, articulation, stuttering, and voice therapy.
