Confidence Through Communication
For Every Young Scot
Welcome to The Voice Lab
At The Voice Lab, we believe every young person deserves to be seen and heard.
Through our fun, interactive workshops, we equip young people age 5 – 25 with the art of public speaking and communication - helping them build confidence, discover their voice, and use it with purpose. This innovative programme is the first of its kind in Scotland, and takes those who attend on a journey towards personal growth, leadership, and social change - especially those facing systemic inequality.
Our programmes teach public speaking not just as a skill, but as a powerful tool for confidence and self-expression to unlock potential, and reshape futures. Communication is more than a skill — it’s the foundation for wellbeing, leadership, and opportunity. Too many young people face barriers that stop them from being heard.
The Voice Lab works with young people to change that.
