Voix Publique(s)

What Voix Publique(s) does

Voix Publique(s) is a French training organization specializing in public speaking, eloquence, and oral communication. Founded in 2018 by Yoan Bonin, the company operates under a dual legal structure: an association headquartered in Bordeaux and a commercial SARL (SARL VOIX PUBLIQUE, €10,000 social capital) registered in Lille. It employs 10 people, including 8 named trainers who are professional performers with backgrounds in theatrical improvisation, comedy, and classical oratory. There is no proprietary technology platform; the entire offering is delivered as in-person, human-led workshops and masterclasses.

The training methodology is built on 10 explicit pedagogical objectives and combines theatrical improvisation with classical oratory. Voix Publique(s) sells three product lines: corporate workshops (priced at €600 for a half-day, €1,200 for a full day, and €2,400 for two days), educational programs for schools and universities, and consumer masterclasses (€70 per person). The company holds three regulatory credentials that define its addressable market: Qualiopi certification (mandatory for public-funded French training), Pass Culture approval (youth cultural credit), and "association agréée" status from the Rectorat de Bordeaux (authority to operate in secondary schools).

The customer base spans three segments: enterprises, educational institutions, and individual consumers. Named clients include Back Market, Université de Bordeaux, CESI, Région Aquitaine, Gironde, and Bordeaux Métropole. The business is bootstrapped with no external funding and claims national coverage across metropolitan France. Growth is entirely organic, funded by operating cash flow, and the company has made no disclosed moves toward digital delivery, AI-assisted coaching, or technology platform development.

Direct peers

• Toastmasters International: Global non-profit operating public speaking and leadership clubs where members practice structured speaking exercises in peer-led groups. Highly comparable to Voix Publique(s) in core activity (public speaking training), but differs in delivery model (peer-led clubs vs. professional trainer-led workshops) and geography (global vs. France-focused).
• Stage Time International: Public speaking and presentation skills training provider serving corporate clients across Europe with workshops, coaching, and online programs. Directly comparable in B2B corporate public speaking training value proposition, though primarily serves UK and international markets rather than French schools.
• Public Speaking Academy: Specialized public speaking training provider offering courses, coaching, and corporate programs across French-speaking markets. Direct competitor in the structured corporate public speaking training segment with comparable target audience of professionals seeking to improve presentation skills.

Broad incumbents

• Cours Florent: Major French performing arts school offering structured training in acting, theater, and increasingly corporate communication skills. Comparable to Voix Publique(s) in the use of theater-based pedagogy for spoken performance, but operates at much larger scale, across a broader curriculum, and as a degree-bearing institution.

Others

• CAPE Europe (Corporate Arts Programmes Europe): European provider of arts-based corporate training programs that uses professional performers to deliver team-building and communication workshops for businesses. Adjacent rather than directly competitive, but competes for the same corporate L&D budget category as Voix Publique(s)'s teambuilding offering.

Emerging players

• L'Art de la Scène: French theater training and corporate workshop provider applying stage techniques to professional communication and confidence building. Overlaps with Voix Publique(s) in the use of theatrical pedagogy for oral skills, though broader in curriculum (full theater training beyond public speaking).
• Impro Académie: French improvisation-theater training organization that delivers workshops and corporate team-building sessions using improv techniques. Closely comparable in the theater-improvisation-based methodology applied to professional audiences, and a direct competitor for French corporate teambuilding budgets.
