Testimonials
“Speech Arts instilled in me a love and appreciation for Literature, a passion for performance, while fostering creative thinking and self discovery.”
“I am so grateful for the wonderful teacher of the Speech Art Program! Miss Souzann is always positive, kind, patient, encouraging and so passionate. She is an amazing teacher and great role model for my daughters who love her lessons. She empowers them to discover their talents; she believes in them and unlocks their potential; she helps them grow up into articulate speakers and confident girls comfortable in front of a large audience, providing them with a rich foundation for their adult communication. Thank you again for offering this program to our children and making such an impact in their lives.”

“The foundational skills learned from Souzann McMillan took me to training at Canadian College of Performing Arts, earning a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree in Theatre from The University of Victoria and gaining Associate Standing with Trinity College, London. Now I work in a corporate environment and I see the direct correlation between my training and all the success I have had. Speech Arts lessons have been the single most useful skill I learned, and I am ever grateful to my parents for encouraging me to use my voice!”

“When I began taking Speech Arts, I was exceptionally shy and quiet. However, I quickly hit my stride with what was soon to be an important part of my life. As a student, and later a student teacher of Speech Arts, I have grown into a confident adult, undaunted by the challenges that would have caused great anxiety in the past. Speech Arts is a wonderful activity, not only for shy students, such as myself, but also for anyone wishing to express themselves in a dramatic way or simply interested in improving their Public Speaking skills.”

“I am so pleased with the Speech Arts program at Speech Arts Victoria, and the progress my daughter has made over the years. It really has made her a clear, confident speaker and she does not hesitate to volunteer for leadership roles. Being a good public speaker and communicator is also critical in the workforce today. She has developed a skill that will be used all through her life. A huge thank you for all your teaching and guidance over the years. She truly has a very special teacher.”
