Thinking on your feet.
Speaking your mind.
Winning the argument.
Competitive debating is like mixed martial arts – Inside one’s head. It is the ability to think critically, oftentimes on one’s feet; construct cohesive arguments; listen and formulate credible theories; engage with the opponent; put up articulate defenses; all to win the argument.
At Vocalize, our programs are designed to focus on honing debating skills, whether for beginners or experienced debaters looking to break into the international circuit.
The best part: the skills we teach do not just help your kids become debaters and win competitions; they are invaluable life lessons right from the classroom to the boardroom. Whether it is a friendly verbal duel among siblings, to cracking the job interview, or negotiating a pay raise.

Our Course Workflow
The training programs offered by Vocalize are aimed at not only honing debating skills, but at developing students into confident speakers, and putting them firmly in the direction of career success and futures that are fulfilling and rewarding.
Two sides of every coin
Being able to debate on either side of any motion teaches students to view any issue or challenge from multiple perspectives. That makes them better decision makers, stronger at analyzing any given situation and sharper at finding ideal solutions when faced with challenges.
Driven. Inspired. Focused.
