Why it helps

Most talks get better in rehearsal, and most rehearsals happen with nobody watching.

You run it in an empty room and it feels fine. Then, on the day, the pace runs away on the data slide, the transition fills up with “um,” and the closing trails off without a clear ask.

Most of those moments are easy to fix once you can see them. The hard part is noticing them while you are the one talking, and a friend who watches your run-through is usually too kind to mention the fourth filler in twenty seconds.

Stage Coach listens to every run-through with the same attention, tells you exactly where each issue happened, and gives you a way to fix it the same evening.

How it works

Three steps, about the length of your talk plus three minutes.

  1. 1

    Record a run-through

    Open Stage Coach, turn on your camera, and give your talk as you would on the day. Up to 20 minutes per session.

  2. 2

    Read your report

    In one to three minutes you get a Stage Score, notes on a clickable timeline, and the numbers behind your delivery.

  3. 3

    Rehearse the drills

    Record 90-second takes of the sections that need work and see whether each one improved. Drill takes are included.

What you get back

Specific notes you can act on before your next run-through.

Every report covers what you said, how you said it, and how you looked saying it.

0–100

Stage Score

One overall score plus Message, Voice, and Presence, so you can see which part of the talk to work on first and track it across sessions.

7:50

Notes pinned to the moment

Wins, habits to watch, and fixes sit on a timeline. Choose one and your replay jumps to that second, with the words you said.

156 wpm

Delivery numbers

Pace in words per minute, fillers per minute, pauses, vocal variety, and an eye contact estimate, measured across the whole talk.

A− / C+

Opening and closing grades

The first and last minutes carry the most weight with an audience. Each gets a grade and one concrete fix.

90 sec

Drills for the weak spots

Two or three drills aimed at specific stretches, such as “rehearse 8:20 to 9:05 with a pause after each number,” each with a scored retake.

Your weakest paragraph, rewritten

Stage Coach finds the paragraph that lands softest and rewrites it in your own voice, ready to use or adapt.

FAQ

Questions, answered

Do I need a Worth the Pitch speaker plan to use Stage Coach?

Stage Coach works on its own. Create a free account, use your free 5-minute session, and buy more sessions only if it helps. The speaker tools for finding and pitching conference talks stay out of your way until you choose to turn them on.

What do I need to record a session?

A camera, a microphone, and a current version of Chrome, Edge, Firefox, or Safari. A laptop webcam is enough. Face a window or a lamp so your face is lit, and find a quiet room.

How long can a session be?

A full session records up to 20 minutes. The free trial session records up to 5 minutes, which is enough for an opening, a section, or a short pitch. For a longer talk, rehearse it in sections.

How quickly do I get my report?

Usually within one to three minutes after you stop recording. You can keep using the app while it finishes.

Is my video uploaded anywhere?

Your full video stays in your browser for replay. We receive your audio for transcription, up to six still frames, and the numeric presence scores your browser measures. The audio and frames are deleted within 24 hours after the analysis finishes.

Which languages does it support?

Stage Coach is built for talks given in English. The filler counts use English filler words, and reports are written in English.

What happens if a session fails?

A session is used only once your recording finishes uploading. If the analysis cannot finish, the session goes back to your balance automatically.

Can I cancel the monthly plan?

Yes, any time, from the Stage Coach page in your account. Sessions you have already bought as single sessions never expire.
