Practice conversations before you need them
TalkReady is a calm space to rehearse conversations with Echo,
before you have them in real life.
What We Do
Support Social Rehearsal
A gentle space to practice conversations before they happen — at your own pace, in your own way.
Conversation Scenarios
You don’t need to know what to say.
Familiar situations help you begin without pressure.
Guided Expression
You don’t need to speak perfectly.
Gentle prompts support you when you want to start, continue, or pause.
Safe Practice Space
You don’t need to get it right.
You can pause, hesitate, or try again — without pressure.
Emotional Awareness
You don’t need to push yourself.
Noticing how a conversation feels matters as much as what is said.
Why This Space Exists
This space began with a simple observation:
for many people, conversations are not spontaneous — they are rehearsed internally, quietly, and often with anxiety.
We wanted to create something small and gentle — not to fix social anxiety, but to make space for practicing, pausing, and trying again before real conversations happen.
This project is shaped by research, design, and lived experience.
It brings together interaction design, digital storytelling, and human-centred thinking to support social rehearsal as a personal, self-paced process.
Nothing here is about performance or optimisation.
It is about making conversation feel a little less overwhelming.
This is not therapy.
It does not replace professional support.
It is simply a quiet tool —
designed to sit beside you while you prepare, practise, or choose not to speak yet.
