I have been a fan of Virtual Speech since it started as a mobile app using cardboard. The concept behind the app was perfect for education as public speaking is such an important skill and is often a big fear. As of late, Virtual Speech has made some major updates that make the VR experience in the Quest even more appealing.
Job Interviews
In the tough job market we have today, nailing an interview is really important. The Virtual Speech app offers a new Job Interviews module, allowing students to practice interview scenarios focused on specific roles. What sets this module apart is its ability to upload your resume and job description, creating a personalized interview experience. This feature helps students gain confidence, receive feedback, and improve their performance before entering an interview room.
Public Speaking
Public speaking can be intimidating, but it's essential for academic and professional success. The Public Speaking module places students in various speaking environments, from classrooms to large auditoriums. Students can practice delivering speeches, familiarize themselves with handling anxiety, and improve their delivery style. Practicing in front of a pretend audience helps students feel more confident and speak more clearly during their presentations.
Debating
Debating is a powerful tool for developing critical thinking and persuasive communication skills. The Debating module within Virtual Speech enables students to engage in structured debates on various topics. This module provides a platform for students to articulate their arguments, respond to counterpoints, and hone their reasoning abilities. By practicing in this virtual setting, students can build confidence and become more effective communicators.
Pitch Masters
The newest addition to the Virtual Speech app is the Pitch Masters module. Inspired by the popular TV show Shark Tank, this module allows students to pitch their ideas to virtual investors in real-time. This immersive experience helps students learn how to present their ideas compellingly and respond to questions under pressure. The Pitch Masters module is ideal for budding entrepreneurs and anyone looking to enhance their persuasive communication skills.
