Public speaking training in Singapore ranges from children's enrichment classes that build confidence for school presentations and DSA interviews to intensive workshops that help working professionals present to clients, boards and large audiences. The ten providers below span dedicated public-speaking academies, debate-and-oratory specialists, corporate presentation trainers and a long-running Toastmasters club, and each was checked against its own website. Use it as a shortlist to compare on audience, format and goals, then confirm current schedules and fees directly.

1. Public Speaking Academy

One of Singapore's longest-running public-speaking specialists, the Public Speaking Academy runs weekly group classes for children and teens aged 7 to 18, adult classes, intensive masterclasses and bootcamps, one-to-one coaching, and customised corporate and school training. It also offers holiday programmes and DSA interview preparation, and describes its adult course as Singapore's first World Champion public speaking programme. Classes run from its Tampines and Bukit Timah branches. A broad option if you want one provider covering both a child and an adult in the family.

2. Speech Academy Asia

Established in 2012, Speech Academy Asia teaches public speaking and communication to children, teens and adults, and says it runs classes across nine Singapore branches with its headquarters at Jem in Jurong. Its children's track covers public speaking, DSA coaching and Trinity College examinations, while adult offerings include public speaking, corporate training, sales and leadership programmes. The academy promotes proprietary methods it trademarks, such as Speech Linguistic Patterns. Consider it if you want a large, multi-branch provider spanning young learners through working adults.

3. MindChamps Académie of Stars

MindChamps Académie of Stars, the performing-arts arm of the MindChamps enrichment group, runs a Champion Communication programme built around public speaking and confident communication for children roughly aged four to sixteen. The academy says the course develops speech technique, content and creativity through formats such as storytelling, hosting, vlogging and news reporting, with older students working toward DSA interviews. It also offers certification through Trinity College London for communication and speech and drama. A structured, brand-backed choice for parents focused on younger children.

4. RedDot Academy

RedDot Academy, on East Coast Road, teaches debate, public speaking and speech and drama, mainly to primary and secondary students, with some adult courses as well. Its public-speaking classes focus on confident delivery, communication and teamwork, and it runs regular weekday and weekend classes alongside holiday workshops, storytelling programmes, oracy preparation and debate masterclasses. The centre frames its programmes around building character and independent thinking rather than exam drilling. Worth shortlisting if you want debate and public speaking taught together in one east-side centre.

5. MindSpeak Logic

MindSpeak Logic, based at Suntec Tower One, coaches primary and secondary students in debate, public speaking and drama through programmes it calls Winning Arguments, ACE Communicator and Art of Expression. Its oratory track focuses on articulate, confident delivery, while the debate stream emphasises logical reasoning and critical thinking, and the centre offers competition preparation alongside regular classes and workshops. It positions itself around developing confident, articulate communicators. A good fit for students who want public speaking taught together with structured debate and argumentation.

6. HighSpark

HighSpark is a Singapore-based corporate training company whose public speaking course, Powerful Delivery, targets working professionals rather than children, from engineers and technical specialists to sales staff and senior executives. Delivered as one- or two-day workshops, in person or virtually, it covers body language, voice, storytelling, presentation structure, managing nerves and presenting to boards, clients and stakeholders. The provider says it tailors examples to each team rather than using a fixed curriculum. Consider it for workplace presentation skills or in-house team training.

7. Be The Voice Academy

Be The Voice Academy is an adult-focused presentation and voice-training provider founded by Brian Lee, a former national radio broadcaster. Its distinctive angle is voice: coaching how you use tone, pace and delivery to present ideas with confidence and authority, typically through two-day presentation-skills workshops for professionals and corporate teams alongside one-to-one voice coaching. The academy says its work draws on Brian Lee's broadcasting background and lists corporate clients across several sectors. A strong option if voice, delivery and executive presence are your main concerns.

8. Speak Sell Succeed

Speak Sell Succeed runs public speaking and presentation-skills courses for working professionals in Singapore, taught in person at Tanjong Pagar by its founder and sole trainer, Iwan Yang. Formats include two-day intensive workshops and weekly evening sessions, with separate courses for presentation anxiety, confident business presentations and persuasion in sales. The provider says several of its courses are WSQ-certified and eligible for SkillsFuture Credit and UTAP. Consider it if you are an adult learner wanting a funded, workshop-style public-speaking course led by a single named trainer.

9. Thought Expressions

Thought Expressions is the training practice of Manoj Vasudevan, who won the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking in 2017. Singapore-based, it works mainly with adults, offering executive communication coaching, keynote speaking and courses for leaders, corporate teams and individuals who want to express ideas more clearly and persuasively. The emphasis is on high-stakes communication, influence and executive presence rather than children's enrichment. A fitting choice for professionals and leaders who want coaching from a competitively decorated speaker, delivered one-to-one or to a team.

10. Toastmasters Club of Singapore

Toastmasters is a global non-profit whose members practise public speaking at regular club meetings rather than in a paid course, and Singapore has many clubs; the Toastmasters Club of Singapore is the country's oldest, meeting several times a month at Sheraton Towers near Newton. Members give prepared and impromptu speeches to a supportive audience and receive structured peer feedback, progressing at their own pace through the Toastmasters educational path. It welcomes adults from beginners to experienced speakers. Consider it as a low-cost, practice-driven alternative to a formal course.

How to choose

  • Start with who the course is for. Children's enrichment classes, teen debate-and-oratory programmes and adult or corporate presentation training are built very differently, so match the provider to the actual learner.
  • Be clear on the goal, whether that is a child's confidence and DSA interview readiness, competition and debate, or presenting to clients, boards and large audiences at work.
  • Decide between group classes, which give an audience to practise in front of, and one-to-one or small-group coaching, which gives more individual speaking time and feedback.
  • Ask who actually teaches and what their speaking or coaching background is, since some providers are led by a single named trainer while others rotate instructors.
  • Check the format and commitment, from weekly term-based classes and holiday camps to one- or two-day intensive workshops, and confirm whether sessions are in person or online.
  • Ask about a trial or taster session before committing, and for adult courses check any WSQ certification or SkillsFuture and UTAP funding, confirming current schedules and fees directly.
