speech coach
Presentation skills mentor
A speech coach helps people improve how they speak—whether for public speaking, presentations, media appearances, or everyday communication.
Speech coaches work on delivery elements like pace, clarity, vocal projection, and body language.
They may also help with content and structure.
The term overlaps with but differs from speech therapist, who addresses medical speech disorders: She hired a speech coach before her TED talk.
