Many people lack confidence not only in the work place but also in the social interactions. Unfortunately this can have a dire consequence on a person's progression at work and with friends shyness can be socially alienating for many people.
Whilst it may seem a little extreme for people who lack confidence in speaking and communication in general to go to an acting class, this in fact is the ideal place to build the skills to help you through life.
Good drama classes teach us to learn to appreciate, accept and cooperate with each other. The teacher will build a relationship of trust between the participants. It is important for the future develop of all the students that this exists.
Through this trust and understanding of each other, the class then explores all the benefits of drama for those who are shy:
Group speech work builds confidence to speak out and the improvisations help people to become spontaneous in their language - one of the hardest things to do in public speaking and in general conversational language.
The gradual progression means that people don't even know that they are communicating on a higher level and their confidence levels start to rise.
