Capability and practice
The team may need applied learning or coaching: practical work on its own files, so people can apply the rules and methods with confidence.

Record a practice and see what to fix
Speak for up to a minute. The coach measures your pace, filler words, pauses, volume and vocal variety, and on video your eye contact, expression, framing, steadiness and light, then gives you the three fixes that matter most. Or upload a photo for feedback on a profile or speaker picture.

How this tool works
- Built on
- Toastmasters International; YouTube Creators
- Scoring
- Each answer scores from 0 (not in place) to 4 (fully in place). An area's score is the points earned as a share of the maximum for the questions you answered; the overall score is the average of the areas. Bands: Getting started 0–39%, Growing confidence 40–69%, Confident on camera 70–100%.
- Your data
- What you type stays in your browser unless you save it to a free account. We receive your name, email and summary only when you open your results.
- Sources checked
- November 2026 (checked every month)
- Team or organisation
- With a free account you can invite colleagues from each department to answer the same questions. You get a consolidated dashboard: scores by area and department, where colleagues disagree, priority gaps and an action plan. Anonymous mode hides names and groups departments with fewer than 3 responses.

Questions
Is it normal to feel nervous on camera?
Yes. Most people do. Short, regular practice, a clear first line and a simple routine before recording reduce nerves faster than anything else.
Do I need expensive equipment?
No. A phone at eye level, light from a window in front of you and a simple clip-on microphone are enough for professional results.
How long should a short professional video be?
Most short videos work best between 25 and 60 seconds, with one idea, a hook in the first seconds and captions.
