Build confidence, overcome nerves and learn powerful public speaking skills in this interactive workshop designed for high school students.
About this Event

Today’s high school students are bright, capable, and full of ideas. But in a world dominated by screens many struggle to express themselves confidently face-to-face.

Finding Your Voice has been delivered in high schools across Perth since 2021, helping thousands of students overcome public speaking nerves and develop powerful communication skills.

In this high-energy, interactive school holiday workshop, students learn practical techniques to build confidence and speak clearly in presentations, assemblies, debates and oral exams.

The workshop is led by secondary teacher, professional emcee and former Channel 9 News presenter Adrian Alaberg, who combines professional speaking experience with engaging, practical strategies to help students communicate with confidence.

-Adryan Winnan, Head of Student Leadership, CBC Fremantle


“Adrian captured the student interest from the outset. The easy-to-understand strategies to combat nerves and deliver an engaging and impactful message were underpinned by current research in psychology and neurobiology"

-Ellen Fortini, Head of Year, Perth College Anglican School for Girls


"Adrian's workshop was very helpful in making me understand why I feel nervous when public speaking, and how I can overcome the nerves. He helped me feel confident and prepared for my head girl speech."
