totally unscripted was founded by emilie brittain, whose background in performing arts and trauma-informed facilitation means she knows how to make finding your voice fun. our mission is simple: help people speak with confidence, connect with others, and enjoy the process instead of dreading it. we run workshops built around three core ideas: confidence, teamwork, and creativity.
our sessions are hands-on, playful, and low-pressure. participants move from nerves and overthinking to laughter, connection, and real-life speaking skills. no one is expected to perform perfectly - this is about trying things out, experimenting, and having a good time while learning. whether you’re part of a team, an emerging professional, or someone who freezes at the thought of public speaking, our workshops leave you feeling confident, expressive, and ready to speak with impact.
about totally unscripted
why totally unscripted?
our approach is inspired by the performing arts, with a focus on making learning practical, playful, and immediately useful. across our workshops, from building real-world confidence with improv principles to presence, storytelling, voice work, managing nerves, persuasion, and collaborative ensemble skills, participants gain tools they can apply straight away in work and life.
through high-energy, hands-on exercises, you’ll learn to speak with impact, connect authentically with others, think creatively on the spot, and approach challenges with confidence. whether you’re an emerging professional, part of a team navigating change, or a leader looking to inspire, our sessions create space for authentic growth, deeper collaboration, and meaningful practice.
everything we do is grounded in the belief that confidence grows through doing. our workshops are supportive, inclusive, and low pressure, with no performing required, just a willingness to show up, experiment, and trust your own voice.
with a trauma-informed and authenticity-first approach, we meet people where they are and guide them to explore their potential, strengthen their presence, and communicate with clarity, creativity, and conviction.
book the totally unscripted signature workshop programme to transform confidence for public speaking. we recommend booking our interactive workshops in sequence, as each session builds on core principles of improvisation, storytelling and stage presence, all tailored to beginners and designed to help you speak with impact. bespoke workshop options also available.
