6. Free Online Communication Training
The name of this channel tells you pretty much everything you need to know. Headed by Dan O'Connor, this channel features a whole heap of advice, with recent uploads on leaving toxic meetings and setting boundaries. Dan also has a free communication kit that you can download if his videos alone aren't enough for you.

7. Skillopedia
Skillopedia is exactly what it sounds like, a YouTube channel that does for skills what Wikipedia does for knowledge. Admittedly, it's not solely designed with public speaking in mind, but it does have a few recent uploads on the subject, as well as hacks on developing creativity and handling insults and criticism. It’s not the main public speaking channel that we’d recommend, but it’s good as a supplement to what you’re already doing.

8. Success Wheels
Success Wheels' big tagline is that they'll teach you to communicate like a pro. As well as providing a decent selection of YouTube videos for you to learn from, you can also download free PDF summaries of many of the lessons, and there are new videos each and every week, meaning you won’t find yourself waiting forever for updates. That’s not something that could be said of all YouTube channels.

9. MasterTalk
Describing his creation, MasterTalk's Brenden Kumarasamy says, "This is the channel I wish I could have subscribed to when I first started working on my communication skills." He doesn't have quite as much experience as some of the other presenters we've talked about, but you can't knock his enthusiasm and he's pretty consistent at uploading a new video every Sunday. If you want to learn more about presentation skills, he also offers a free workshop that's designed to help you to become a top 1% communicator in your industry.

10. Practical Psychology
Practical Psychology is more about psychology than public speaking, but it's also about harnessing the power of psychology to increase your success in the workplace. It has a little bit of everything on offer, from animated book reviews to motivational videos and tutorials on everything from finances to productivity, personal development and presenting to an audience. It’s one that you’ll want to subscribe to even if you’re picky about which of their uploads you actually watch.
