Why Speech Coaching?

For years, people who want to become high-level speech coaches have asked the same question: "Where do I learn how to be a high-level speech coach?" The American Speech Coaching Academy is the answer.

The Academy is the result of two decades of collaboration between the founders of New York Vocal & Speech Coaching (among the country's largest voice studios) and Presenting Solutions (a top corporate speech training firm working with clients from Amazon to Forbes). Together, we've created a comprehensive certification program that teaches not just methodology, but the full scope of professional practice. You’ll learn the science, art, and business of becoming a successful speech coach.

Who Is This Course Best For?

This program is designed for professionals ready to engage deeply in practice, feedback, and applied learning.

You'll thrive here if you:
  • Have experience or interest in performance, coaching, teaching, or client-facing work. The skills translate especially well if you're a singing teacher, actor, speech-language pathologist, executive coach, facilitator, therapist, or trainer, but we've seen success from people with all kinds of backgrounds.
  • Are genuinely curious about speech coaching as a career path. Whether you're exploring this as a full-time practice or a meaningful side income, you want to understand what it actually takes to build a sustainable coaching business.
  • Are ready to be coached while you learn to coach. This program includes observed sessions where you'll receive feedback on your technique and presence. That requires openness, humility, and commitment to improvement.
  • Can commit to weekly study time and attend evening sessions when possible. Consistent attendance creates the deepest learning, though recordings of the sessions are available when students cannot attend.
