ThePodio is your unfair advantage for speeches that matter—competition rounds, classroom assignments, toastmasters, and the talks you give in real life. Record or upload a speech. Get a real ballot back: score, category breakdown, and coaching notes from AI judges trained on competition standards—not generic “good job” fluff. WHY IT FEELS DIFFERENT • Judges that know the game — Feedback shaped by event and competition norms (Extemp, Impromptu, Debate, and more), not one-size-fits-all tips. • A ballot you can act on — Clarity on what landed, what cost you points, and what to fix before the next run. • Practice without the pressure — Try a round as a guest, then save your results when you’re ready. • Built for coaches & classrooms — Assign prompts, collect submissions, review student work, and keep a trophy trail of growth. WHAT YOU CAN DO • Practice — Pick an occasion, record or upload video, and run analysis. • Explore — Sample speeches and prompts when you need a spark. • History — Revisit ballots, track progress, and share results. • Classrooms — Join with a code, submit assignments, withdraw and resubmit before the due date; coaches publish feedback that students can see. WHO IT’S FOR Competitors grinding rounds. Coaches running a class. Speakers who want honest, specific feedback—fast. Download ThePodio and run your next speech like it’s already finals.
