Speechspecialists.net was created by Jeff Venanzi. Since his time competing in Speech Tournaments at Long Beach City College and CSULB, Jeff has always possessed a love for a well-delivered speech. He is a graduate of CSULB with a Bachalor of Arts Degree in Speech Communication and was coached by some of the best speech coaches in the nation. Jeff inspires to be the best speech coach for both students and professionals.
Background
Jeff went on to get a teaching credential and taught for 3 years at San Clemente High School where he was the Director of Speech (2nd largest Mock Trail program in the US; Rotary Club, Graduation Speeches, etc.). He also taught Speech to business professionals at Learning Tree University for 10 years. For the past 10 years, Jeff has coached CEOs, Sales Representatives, Lawyers, Advertising Reps, Architects, Developers, and Engineers from various industries—Abbot Labs, Creative Press, The Ebert Co.
He believes the most important skill an individual can possess is the ability to articulate ideas in a way where the audience is both informed and moved by what is presented. From his graduation from South Coast’s Repertory for Professional Acting, where he acted with Will Ferrell (Saturday Night Live, Elf) Jeff draws from his acting techniques used to help improve the quality of one’s delivery and overall performance.
“Jeff helped myself and my staff with our communication needs.”

Experience
For the past 30 years, Jeff has perfected a way to help an individual transform from delivering a speech well to delivering a speech superbly. Whether you are a CEO that has to give a speech at your Christmas Party, a sales rep who relies on his ability to present and close audiences, or a developer who has to go in front of a City Council to try and get millions of dollars approved, Speechspecialists.net can provide the speech coaching you need to be successful.
All of the scientific studies show that most of our communication is non-verbal. All of the coaches at Speechspecialists.net work off of this foundation, so we focus on improving delivery, rather than helping you write your speech. Although, content is important, so we developed a workbook that will help your speech be better organized and have better content. Most of our individual, coaching sessions, however, are spent helping you improve your delivery including controlling your audience, dealing with Questions and Answers, using visual aides and working with your nervousness.
