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.

Start Young, Start Right

“Debating is a unique platform that develops crucial life skills that can be exponentially improved through focused training, individual attention, regular practice, better peer associations and disciplined practice. Starting young is key.”

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
