Welcome to the AEC Speaking Studio!
The AEC Speaking Studio, located in Roosevelt Hall room 21, is open to all URI undergraduate students. Our goal is to help you develop confidence, clarity, and effectiveness in spoken communication skills in a welcoming, collaborative environment. Work with peer speaking consultants to plan, prepare, and practice for any public speaking situation, across academic and professional contexts.
Whether you are rehearsing for an individual speech, preparing for a group presentation, or getting ready for an interview, speaking consultants provide personalized feedback and suggestions in one-on-one and small group practice sessions.
Speaking Consultants Can Help You:
- Rehearse individual or group presentations
- Prepare for interviews
- Organize and communicate ideas clearly
- Improve delivery skills (confidence, pacing, body language, and eye contact)
- Gain confidence to participate in class discussions
- Reduce anxiety about public speaking
- And more!
Check in for all appointments at AEC Lower Level Reception, located in Roosevelt Hall 20 (at the end closest to the library). Speaking Studio sessions take place next door in Roosevelt 21.
