How it works

Confidence grows by making the pressure feel familiar.

Stagefright recreates the feeling of needing to perform, without the consequences of a real audience.

Who it's for

For the speech next month or the meeting tomorrow.

Most people come with a date in the diary. Plenty come to get quicker on their feet. Both start with a sixty-second rehearsal.

Something coming up

Rehearse the real thing.

  • Wedding speeches

    The toast you only get to give once.

  • Talks and presentations

    Team updates, keynotes, a TEDx stage.

  • Pitches and interviews

    Investors, clients, a hiring panel. Answers that still sound like you.

Nothing coming up yet

Daily 60-second challenge.

  • Thinking on your feet

    A topic you didn’t pick, sixty seconds, no notes.

  • Speaking up at work

    Get to the point in meetings, with fewer ums on the way.

  • Everyday presence

    Steady eye contact, open posture, hands that help the point.

A new topic every dayGive me a topic

Audio only

Camera shy? Rehearse with just your voice.

Switch the camera off and talk. Stagefright listens the way your audience will: how your pitch moves, whether your voice carries, how fast you go, and the ums you never hear yourself say.

Try it with your voice
An example audio-only rehearsal. Golden needles rise and fall with the speaker's voice while the words appear as they are said, and four readouts follow along: a pitch range of 10 semitones, volume, a pace of 150 words a minute, and 1 um and 2 pauses.

Your words, annotated

The full rehearsal

Right. Um, good evening everyone. For those of you who don't know me1, I'm Danny, and I've been Tom's best mate since we were, uh, eleven years old. I sort of drew the short straw2 on this one, so, um, please bear with mepause here.

We met in the lunch queue on the first day of secondary school. I did not know a single person in that building. Tom turned round, looked at me, and offered me half of his sandwich. I said yes.2.3s Twenty-five years later he is still feeding me, and I am still saying yes.

And look, Tom is just a really great guy3. Everyone says that about their best mate, I know, but with Tom it is, like, genuinely true. He is a great friend, he is a great brother4, and he is honestly one of the best people I know.

Rehearse it again

Five rehearsals later.

One take tells you how it went. Run it again and your report shows what moved since your first try, quality by quality.

Why Stagefright

You learn the most by watching yourself back.

Stagefright is a private rehearsal room: press record, then watch yourself back.

Questions

Know what happens before you press record.

Plain answers about how Stagefright works, what it keeps and what your score means.

01Can I rehearse my real speech?

Yes. Your first minute can be the opening of your real speech: choose My opening and the coach reads it as an opening, from the hook to how quickly you settle. No speech yet? Choose today’s 60-second challenge instead. After that, a free account gives you a new 60-second challenge every day. Rehearsing your own speech in full, up to 20 minutes, comes with Pro, coming soon.

02Is my video private? What happens to my recording?

You watch each take back first. A challenge or practice take you don’t have analysed stays on your device and is never sent to us. When you tap Analyse, your video is encrypted in transit and passes through EU-based storage only while Gemini analyses it, then it is deleted the moment your report is ready, whether or not you have an account. We never keep your video. With a free account we keep your reports, the sound of each take and a small still (for an audio-only take, a loudness outline instead of the still), so you can find them again, and you can delete any of it at any time. Google does not use your recording to train its models; it keeps a record of what it processed for up to 55 days, only to detect misuse of its service.

03How long does the feedback take?

Usually between 20 and 90 seconds, depending on how long you spoke and how busy the service is. You will see a progress screen while it works. If it ever takes more than a couple of minutes, something has gone wrong and a retry almost always fixes it. If it keeps happening, tell us with Feedback: the tab on the right of the page on a computer, or in the menu on a phone.

04Will this actually help with nerves, stage fright, or a fear of public speaking?

Rehearsal is the most reliable way to bring performance anxiety down. Whether it is stage fright before a wedding speech or nerves before a work talk, the more often you have stood in front of a camera and heard your own voice, the less threatening the real moment feels. Stagefright gives you an honest view of how you actually come across, which is usually far kinder than the anxious version you imagine.

05Does it work if English is not my first language, or if I have an accent?

Yes. The coaching looks at your delivery, not at whether you sound like a native speaker. Accent is never marked down. If clarity comes back lower than average, the feedback explains why in practical terms.

06How is the score worked out?

Your coach looks at five qualities: warmth, presence, story, vocal variety and clarity. It counts your filler words separately. Each quality gets a word, from Emerging and Developing through Solid and Strong to Exceptional. A daily challenge with a free account also gets a score out of ten for each quality, and stars for the whole take. It is a coaching signal, not a grade: aim to move it in the right direction over several rehearsals.

07Do I need an account? Is it really free?

Your first minute needs no account: record, get your feedback, that is it. To keep going, create a free account with Google or just your email. It gives you a new 60-second challenge every day, video or audio. Record it as often as you like and watch yourself back, then your coach analyses the take you choose. Your reports are kept so you can look back. No card, nothing to cancel.

08What is Pro?

Pro is coming soon and is not on sale yet. It is for rehearsing your own talk in the weeks before a big moment: takes of up to 20 minutes, so you can run your whole speech, and 10 challenges a day. Once you have a free account, you can ask us to email you when it launches, from Home or your account page.

09Can I rehearse a wedding speech, a presentation, or a TEDx talk specifically?

Yes. Start with your first minute, free: choose My opening and the coach reads it as the opening of your real speech. Rehearsing the whole speech comes with Pro, coming soon. There you tell Stagefright what you are preparing for (a wedding or celebration speech, a work presentation, a conference talk or keynote, a pitch or a job interview) and where you will give it, and the coaching takes that into account. A best man speech is judged differently from a board presentation.

10Can I use it as a mock interview to practice for a job interview?

Yes. Record yourself answering a question the way you would in the room, and you get feedback on your pace, your filler words, and how confident and clear you come across. It works just as well for an on-camera or video interview, where it helps to see yourself back beforehand. Your first minute is free with no account: choose My opening and answer the question you would least like to be asked. Rehearsing a whole interview, up to 20 minutes, comes with Pro, coming soon.

11How many times should I rehearse?

As many times as it takes to feel ready. Most people see a real improvement after three or four runs at the same material. A free account gives you a new 60-second challenge every day, and your saved reports wait on Home, so you can see how each run compares.
