Features
Speakeasy gives you everything you need to practice

Topic mode

Hundreds of prompts across thirteen categories, each one rated easy, medium or hard. Speaking under that bit of pressure is what trains you to stay calm.

Words mode

One random word and nothing else. There is no question to lean on, so you have to build the whole thing yourself.

Freeplay mode

No prompt at all. Record yourself for as long as you set, then watch it back in the library by full, camera only, or audio only.

Daily Challenge

One shared prompt for everyone, every day. Compare how you approached it with how your friends did.

Notes on every take

Attach notes to any recording so you can look back through your history and actually see the progress you've made.

About
Why I built this

All my life, I was never a great speaker. I found myself trembling uncontrollably whenever I had to speak in public, and no matter what I tried, nothing seemed to help. That's when I came across Vinh Giang, who said that the best way to get better at public speaking is to watch and listen to yourself.

There are three main things you need to do: record yourself, then replay that recording, first just the audio, then just the visual, then with a transcript, then fully again. Practicing this over and over has genuinely helped me improve, and I've seen real progress in myself.

Another way I found to get better was putting myself in pressure situations, giving myself a random topic and speaking about it for a set amount of time. Doing this trains your brain to stay calm under pressure. I'm hoping this website can help you get better at public speaking too, or that you'll simply find it useful for practice.
