“Timidity and shyness were my big problems. Speech and Drama class has changed my life and in fact opened many doors for me. When I had to substitute for someone on my school debating team, I found that I could actually do it!

Now I am a regular member of the team, and have been awarded Best Speaker several times. I have confidence which I just never had before.”

“I joined the class because I wanted to act, like the artistes on TV. I didn’t think I would enjoy it this much! I like our ‘games’ and activities, and I love Storytime.

My teacher shares the best stories and has the best facial expressions – even better than mommy! I too can read loudly or softly and with expression now, like my teacher.

I understand English so much better, even when I watch TV. And this Homework is much easier compared to other subjects. I also get to read poetry, which I never knew about before.

I even correct my mother’s pronunciation sometimes!”

I could only attend Speech & Drama classes for a very short while, but I enjoyed myself tremendously… I had some of the most unforgettable moments of my life, actually.

I signed up because I had very little confidence in my communication skills… I stuttered a lot even in front of my classmates.

After starting lessons at StageCraft, I managed to get rid of my stutter through many practice presentations and speeches in front of the class. I learned how to write a speech in a short time, and how to keep it interesting.

I found out that stuttering wasn't my only bad habit; I also had poor enunciation, and my body would sway from side to side as I spoke. I wouldn’t have realised any of this if I had not had an audience, and of course my teacher to point it out to me.

My communication skills are much better now. I approach people easily and can even make impromptu speeches and hold the attention of my listeners.

But the biggest thing I’ve gained is probably SELF-ESTEEM. I definitely don’t regret spending time

Drama is my passion, so I am always excited to participate in a drama. I enjoy all the plays and poem recitals too.

My teachers have encouraged me to to think “out of the box” and I know that I’ve matured. People notice that I am braver now and express myself confidently.

Speech & Drama lessons have given my children self-confidence and familiarity with different aspects of conversation and staged speech.

Given similar tasks, they are now better able to adapt themselves and cope. Above all, they loved it and all the fun that went with it.

Kudos to StageCraft’s instructors for showing the students that their input mattered! My children felt validated and confident when their ideas were considered and commented on.
