I get really nervous. Is this for me?
Yes. It was made for people whose voice shakes when it's their turn. Everyone starts at Level 1, Calm: breathing and a slower first ten seconds.
I'm an introvert. Do I have to become loud?
No. The goal is to speak clearly and calmly, in your own style. Quiet people can be great speakers.
Will it work for me?
The Day 1 and Day 21 recordings let you hear the change yourself, and you rate your nerves from 1 to 10 on both days. If it's not for you, you get your money back.
Do I need an audience to practise?
No. You do the exercises on your own, on your phone. Then you use them in your next meeting or presentation.
Is it only for presentations?
No. It's for meetings, updates, video calls and presentations. The Interview Prep bonus covers job interviews too.
How long does it take each day?
About 10 minutes. The 90-Second Panic Reset takes a minute and a half, whenever you need it.
Is this a subscription?
No. You pay once for the 21 days and keep them. Nothing renews. After the 21 days there's an optional membership, Stage Pass, with a new scene every week. You only get it if you choose it.
Do I have to listen to myself?
No. Your numbers and Leo's note come without playing anything back. Listening is a button, never a step.
Who hears my recordings?
Nobody. Your recordings stay on your phone. Your note is written from the numbers and the words as text. If your phone can't turn your words into text, the recording is sent once to do that, and we don't keep it.
English isn't my first language. Is that a problem?
No. Your plan aims for a calm, clear pace, not a fast one. The notes are about how you speak, never your accent.
What phone do I need?
Any iPhone or Android phone with a browser. You add the app to your home screen in a few seconds. No app store.
What if I miss a day?
Pick up where you left off. Your 21 days wait for you.
Will the price go up?
Yes. $47 is only for the next 100 members, or until the date shown at the top of the page. Whichever comes first. Then it's $69. Join now and you pay $47 once, and never more. All prices are in Canadian dollars.

How do refunds work?

Is this therapy?
No. Speak Up is a speaking practice program. It is not therapy or medical advice. If nerves or anxiety get in the way of daily life, please talk to a doctor or a licensed professional.
Who is Leo?
