Ace an Interview
A step-by-step walkthrough — with real app screenshots — of using Speakfect to prepare for any interview. We use an Engineering Manager interview as the example: profile, goal, drills, simulated interview, debrief, and progress tracking.
Fear of Public Speaking
A step-by-step walkthrough — with real app screenshots — of using Speakfect to build public speaking confidence: profile, goal, drills, coach, and progress tracking.
Company Townhall
A step-by-step walkthrough — with real app screenshots — of prepping a company all-hands in Speakfect: profile, goal plan, drills, custom practice, AI coaching, Mock Q&A across four audience types, and progress tracking.
Best Man Speech
A step-by-step walkthrough — with real app screenshots — of rehearsing a best man speech in Speakfect: set your goal, practice on camera, read your score, and improve round by round.

Every guide in this hub walks through one real situation — an interview, a speech, a townhall, speaking anxiety — using actual screens from the Speakfect app, not mockups. You'll see exactly what to fill in, which coach persona to pick, and where the practice loop starts, so you're not guessing when you open the app for the first time.

Why a "how-to" instead of just a features list

Speakfect has a lot in it — Simulated Interview, Scenario Role-Play, Mock Q&A, Drills, coach personas, goal plans. That's great once you know what you're prepping for, and a little overwhelming on your first open. Each guide below picks one real scenario and gives you the shortest path through the app to a useful first practice session: which screen to start on, which settings actually matter for that scenario, and which coach voice to pick.

The five screens you'll see in almost every guide

  1. Edit Profile — your name, country, and age group. Speakfect uses this to calibrate feedback (a pace that's fast for a teenager reads differently than fast for a 45-year-old executive).
  2. Goal Plan — a one-line goal in your own words ("Nail my EM interview at a Series B startup"). The app breaks it into an action plan and starts tailoring drills to it.
  3. Coaching Preferences — pick a default persona: The Ally (supportive, confidence-building), The Mentor (balanced, growth-focused), or The Critic (high-stakes, tough love). You can override per-session.
  4. A setup screen — Simulated Interview setup, Scenario Role-Play, or Mock Q&A setup, depending on what you're prepping for. This is where the AI learns what to ask you.
  5. Drills — once you've set a goal, this tab fills with 60–120 second reps tailored to it, for the days between full sessions.

Once those five screens feel familiar, every scenario in the app works the same way underneath.

Frequently asked

Do I need to pick a scenario before I explore the app? No — Drills and the Practice Room are open from your first login. But setting a goal first (Goal Plan screen) makes everything else — drills, coach tone, follow-up questions — tailored to your actual situation instead of generic.

Which coach should I start with if I'm not sure? The Mentor. It's the app's default and the most balanced for a first session. Switch to The Ally if you want gentler feedback, or The Critic once you want to be pushed.

Can I change my goal later? Yes, any time from the Goal Plan screen. Drills and follow-up questions re-tailor to the new goal within a session or two.
