With Quentin Lee Moore

Find Your Voice, Find Your Ground. A capable speaker is present rather than thinking. Come learn a somatic practice that grounds your voice in the moment.

The actor is trained to connect to the present moment and convey the truth of a character under imaginary circumstances fully embodied. As public speakers, you can learn to uncouple from centering your tension or anxiety and instead center the task. Actors train to do one thing extraordinarily well: stay present. Actors connect fully to the moment and speak the truth of a character, under imaginary circumstances, with their whole body.

Public speaking asks the same thing of you — and most stage fright comes from getting that backwards. When we’re anxious, we center our own tension. We think about how we sound, how we look, and whether we’re messing up. But a truly capable speaker isn’t thinking about themselves at all. They’re centered on the task in front of them — the message, the room, the moment.

That shift is learnable. It’s not about willing your nerves away; it’s a somatic practice — working through the body, not just the mind — that grounds your voice in the present and frees you from the grip of self-consciousness. If stage fright has kept you from speaking up, this is where that starts to change.
