Presentation Skills & Public Speaking: Complete Masterclass (Udemy.com)
Overcome stage fright and deliver clear, confident presentations in meetings, on stage, and in high stakes situations
Created by: Jimmy Naraine
Last updated April 2026
Our take
Based on the ratings of 2,320 students, a sample of their written reviews and the syllabus, as the course stood in April 2026. No course pays to be reviewed.
Jimmy Naraine's masterclass is a long, talky course on the whole of presenting: stage fright, structure, delivery, body language, slides and video. The syllabus shows 183 lectures across about 15 hours, and a good chunk of that is extra material. There are sections on confidence and self-esteem, a regularly updated FAQ, guided meditations and a full leadership course at the end. It is aimed at working professionals, managers and anyone with a talk coming up, and it asks for no speaking experience.
Reviewers mostly like it. Of 2,320 ratings, 1,429 are five stars and 699 are four. People praise the energetic, easy-to-follow teaching and the exercises and role play, and one calls the short emergency video to the point. A couple say they feel more relaxed or have already used the advice at work. The complaints are consistent too. Three low reviews say the instructor rambles, uses too many words for a short list of ideas, and that 15 hours is more than the material needs. One three-star reviewer found it pitched at newer or intermediate speakers.
The last update was April 2026, so it feels current. There are no quizzes or assignments, so practice is up to the student. Our suggestion is to take the core sections on fear, structure, practice, delivery and body language, roughly the first ten sections and about seven hours, and treat the rest as optional. Reviewers do not say which parts drag, but this cuts the length considerably. It suits nervous beginners and managers who want an energetic coach. It is a poor match for anyone who wants a quick, dense briefing.
Pros
- Covers fear, structure, practice, delivery, body language, slides and video in one place
- Reviewers call the teaching energetic and easy to absorb, even across 15 hours
- Short quick-win videos up front, and one reviewer calls the emergency video to the point
- Updated April 2026, with a leadership course and guided meditations included
Cons
- Low reviews say the instructor rambles and takes many words to make simple points
- 15 hours is a lot, and the extra sections stretch it further
- No quizzes or assignments, and one reviewer found it basic for experienced speakers
I feel more relaxed after watching the videos. There is some good advice and exercises the course provides.
Listed for all levels, but one reviewer says it suits new or intermediate learners best.

Course Description
The ability to stand up and speak well is one of the highest-leverage skills you can build. Most people never train it, which is exactly why it sets you apart.
Stage fright, rambling structure, and a body that betrays your nerves will quietly cap your career no matter how good your ideas are. The good news: presenting is a skill, not a gift, and every part of it can be trained.
This masterclass walks you through the full system top presenters use, from overcoming fear and engineering your performance state to structuring a talk, mastering delivery, and using body language that reinforces your message instead of undercutting it. Whether you're in a meeting, on a stage, or on camera, you'll present with real confidence and competence.

Too much waffle. Do the entire course would waste 15 hours of your valuable time. Why 15 hours? Advice for the instructor is start a Youtube channel

By Sashen Singh on 11/4/2025
I Iove the course, very practical and not lecture like content. I would like more content added here on how to remember reading body language while speaking and being aware to change your tone, vocal variety and own body language while not forgetting your content. Also how to speak well for people who are affected with hearing impairments and overcome those challenges.
By Roshni Singh on 11/29/2024
Amazing Course. There were a lot of things that I do sub-consciously both Good/Bad and by this course I can now Highlight them and consciously correct myself on the bad ones and be more repetitive with the good ones. Plus some additional practices to work and be a better communicator and defeat my inner imposter.
By Yvan Dandineau on 7/30/2024
It was really a great course, very comprehensive and what I like with Jimmy it is his way to make you feel confident, because he is very human and does not hesitate to tell stories of himself where he had doubts, where things did not go so well for him ... It makes his speech more authentic, and it motivates you because you realize that everything is accessible => if he can do it, I can do it
By Sergey Klimov on 2/12/2023
That's a very powerful course, actually consisting ot two different ones. I enjoyed watching almost every video and I can see that Jimmy really knows his stuff. Jimmy is very motivational and engaging and it's just a pleasure to listen to him and watch the scenary behind him. As for shortcomings - the slides and visuals section isn't strong enough it definitely needs some improvements. I think it needs real examples of good and bad slides. Thank you for the course.
By Angelot Noel Fodem Kenfack on 10/10/2022
Jimmy naraine presented this course in a very confident and dynamic way. It wasn't boring to watch, instead I was always eager to move to the next sections of the course. The content of the course really met my expectations, the most important thing now is to put everything in practice in order to really move to the next level. Thank you Jimmy! Keep it up!
By Anonymized User on 9/22/2022
I like this course because it provides me an in-depth knowledge on improving my presentation skills. I can recommend this because I tried to apply some of my learning in this course when presenting, and It really works. Hoping for more informative courses like this :) thank you so much to the author and I also love the background at La Palma seems like a majestic place.
By Michael Okwusogu on 7/31/2022
Decent course. Interesting insights which was appreciated. Lots to take away and take onboard. Some aspects were basic, for example, what not to do, comments/insights on self development and the need to practice. But in defence of Jimmy, these are common pitfalls so understandable that they are reiterated in such a course.
By REMY FAN WEE REN on 4/27/2022
Yeah, it does feel a little poignant to end the course. I took over 2-3 weeks to complete this mega course, watch and digest in bite size and speed up to 1.5 - 1.75x faster... but it was worth it. Jimmy Naraine does has unique speaking accent, but because of his solid content and charismatic way of presentation, it doesn't take me too long to get use to it and enjoy every single video. As professional host and presenter since 1996, I still get useful insights and affirmation on things I have done right from Jimmy's lessons, and of course, covering some blindspots which I have over the years. Long, epic course, but it's worth it. Really Worth it. Thank you, Jimmy Naraine.
