Speech Lab+-

The Citrus College Speech Lab provides support for speech students. Students are able to receive assistance with the entire speech process from outlining and writing to presenting the speech. The Speech Lab offers a designated space for students to record speeches with the benefit of a tutor to help set up the framing of the recording, ensure that the speech is being recorded, and provide commentary for ways the speech can be improved once the student has finished recording. Students using our services must know how to use the software or tools for their specific course, as staff are not trained on the many types of apps and tools instructors may use. Please keep this in mind as we provide support for the speech, not the technology used. Students who need specific help with Canvas, including Studio or uploading video files from a particular type of device, may contact 24/7 live help at (626) 857-4100.

Student ID number will be required for verification to all Learning Center services.
