Does anyone know of someone who teaches techniques for public speaking and speech in general communicaiotn and social situations. I am always being told I speak too fast - I am not always aware of this - though sometimes I know I do speak fast when I am nervous. However, I am a rushed, outgoing and talkative person anyway - would like to know some techniques in relation to slowing down my rate of speech as a lot of people are commenting on it, and I now have to give a lot of presentaitons as well. Any advice or contact details of anyone doing this kind of work would be greatly appreciated.
 
Why don't you try Toastmasters - they do that sort of thing on a social basis.
