Two ways in
For participants
Find live opportunities, meet new people, practise your communication skills and earn rewards for meaningful participation, or volunteer for free.
For speakers
Bring your ideas to real people. Get an audience for your pitch, product, school presentation or practice session. Free or paid.
Who it's for
Pitching next week, presenting at school, learning public speaking, or simply happy to listen: there is a role for you, with or without payment.
Speakers and presenters
Pitching, presenting at school next week, or learning to speak with confidence: practise live, hear honest reactions, and walk into the real moment ready.
Paid audience
Join short live sessions, listen properly, take part and give considered feedback. Rewards are paid for genuine participation, not for opening a tab.
Free volunteers
Volunteer to be someone's audience at no cost. Hear new ideas, pick up speaking tips by watching, and build a reputation as a thoughtful listener.
Businesses, researchers and educators
Run a customer conversation, a product walkthrough or a practice session for your students, and gather opinions from the audience you actually need.
Free sessions run on volunteer audiences and cost nothing. Paid sessions are funded by the speaker and reward participants who complete them. A session can even offer both.
Illustrative scenarios
These are fictional scenarios showing how people can use ShadowSpeak. They are not customer testimonials.
01 · The student
A student has an important university presentation coming up. Instead of practising alone, they organize a short session with real people. They present their ideas, answer questions and discover where they need to improve.
02 · The entrepreneur
An entrepreneur has an idea but does not know how potential customers will react. They organize a session, invite a relevant audience and discover what people actually think.
03 · The creator
A content creator wants feedback before publishing a new project. They bring their work to ShadowSpeak, listen to opinions and improve their next release.
04 · The participant
Someone joins a short session after class. They listen to a presentation, ask a question, share their opinion and, if the session is paid, receive a reward for completing the activity.

Why ShadowSpeak
ShadowSpeak is not about paying people to pretend to listen. It creates opportunities to practise, exchange ideas and give genuine human feedback.
Trust and transparency
Speakers set a reward per paid participant. The platform commission is configurable and shown before a session is funded. Free sessions have no money involved.
Attendance time is measured on our servers from join and leave events. A participant must meet the session's completion policy, for example minimum time and feedback submitted. Camera presence alone is never treated as proof of engagement.
Other users never see your email or private details. Meeting rooms are only accessible to approved participants.
Sessions are never recorded automatically. A recording only happens after clear disclosure and the consent of participants.
Either side can report a problem. Reports are reviewed by our team and payments can be held or reversed while a dispute is open.
A paid session is funded up front into escrow and released to participants who complete it. Unused funds return to the speaker. Payments are currently in simulated test mode until a payment provider is connected.
