Executive Summary

Many professionals—sales reps, managers, founders and other knowledge workers—need repeated, realistic public speaking practice but face limited access to affordable, objective feedback; current options are either costly coaching or vague peer critique, leaving a gap for scalable, measurable rehearsal. This pain affects an estimated 50M professionals who would pay for better self-service practice, reflecting the assumed $6.0B market (50M × $120 ACV). You could build a subscription platform that records practice sessions, applies speech-to-text, prosody analysis and LLM-driven audience reactions and critique, then schedules spaced-repetition drills and role-specific scenarios to drive measurable improvement. The product would expose actionable metrics (pace, filler words, sentiment shifts), run enterprise-friendly reporting and integrate with LMSs for company-wide microlearning programs. The timing is attractive: remote/hybrid work and the shift from one-off training to ongoing microlearning increase demand for asynchronous coaching, and recent advances in speech and LLM tech make automated, role-specific feedback practical; market signals (Market Score 88/100, Revenue Potential 80/100, competition medium) suggest clear revenue upside if execution is strong. You can stand out by combining high-fidelity simulated audience reactions, validated improvement metrics, tight enterprise integrations and strong privacy/compliance, but expect real challenges around feedback accuracy, bias in automated coaching, and proving retention—plan for pilots with measurable learning outcomes and iterative calibration to win enterprise adoption.
