Matthew’s talks range from the purely entertaining to the entertaining and serious. His audiences range from school pupils, to prisoners, to corporate employees, to members of the Women’s Institute. He also gives speeches in French.
Recent school work includes a presentation about Language and Social Media for the London Oratory; a talk to Dulwich College about Prison Shakespeare; and talks about Voicework for Lycée Charles de Gaulle and King’s Worcester.
In Autumn ’23 he gave a speech to Hammersmith and Fulham’s Legal Department on Teaching Public Speaking to Prisoners. And in November he was keynote speaker at the Brilliant Communicators conference.
His speech, How Shakespeare Can Improve Your Public Speaking, was delivered to speechwriters for figures such as the US Ambassador to London, the Archbishop of Canterbury, and a former Swedish prime minister.
Performer and former Financial Times journalist, John-Paul Flintoff, said it was “full of brilliant ideas” while Brian Jenner, founder of The European Speechwriter Network said “Matthew blended the sacred and the profane, the high and the low brow. His speech sent me back to the sonnets…”
Throughout 2023 he delivered variations of his speech, Budget Travel, Borrowed Grannies, Tax-Free Cash from Yours Kids AND Shopping for Free In Supermarkets, to audiences of luncheon clubs, WI groups, and charities. All wanted an entertaining, fun-filled, half-hour.
And all the audiences got it!
