GETTING YOU FROM HERE TO THERE
Speech is full of possibility, but can also feel full of roadblocks. Zebrapad bridges the gap by solving the exact pain points that keep students and coaches stuck. We see every obstacle as an opportunity to help students gain clarity on what to do next, coaches reclaim time and focus, and teams grow in confidence, creativity, and competitive edge. See what's possible when you uncover our solutions.
“I feel like I’m on my own.”
The Solution
Coaches are asked to be administrators, managers, counselors, script editors, practice planners, event experts, and rule enforcers on top of everything else.
Zebrapad serves as a digital assistant, guiding and empowering students through the foundational steps so coaches can focus on higher-level feedback and team strategy.
With specialized tools for common friction points like Cutting Blueprints, Topic Telescope, Casting Agent and Character Lab, Zebrapad breaks down overwhelming tasks into manageable steps keeping students moving forward and coaches free to refine performance, not untangle logistics.
The Solution
“My students get stuck and lose confidence.”
Coaches see kids freeze up choosing topics, cutting scripts, researching, writing, and building performances – wasting weeks of practice.
“Practice time slips away.”
The Solution
Without structure, students rehearse haphazardly, and coaches spend precious hours repeating the same reminders.
The Practice Planner builds focused, skill-based rehearsals that show clear progress so coaches know their students are training the right way, even when they aren’t in the room.
“My program’s growth is limited.”
The Solution
Coaches want to expand opportunities and competitiveness, but lack of time, resources, or clarity stalls momentum.
Zebrapad creates consistency and independence within your team, giving every student access to the tools they need—so the coach’s impact scales without burnout.
Zebrapad zeroes in on the transferable skills that work across categories and performances. Instead of chasing every event variation, we focus on the core foundations that connect them all: effective communication, authentic performance, and educational empowerment.
When necessary, we frame our tools around the most common categories you’ll find in every state: Humor, Drama, Duo, Program Oral Interpretation, Extemporaneous Speaking, Informative, and Original Oratory. By focusing here, we give every competitor a strong foundation they can adapt to any event they choose.
The Solution
“The nuances and rules of so many events feel overwhelming.”
Diversity of events in speech is what makes it unique, accessible, dynamic…and daunting. As students rely on coaches to lead and develop their diverse skills, expectations, and opportunities, coaches often lose time re-explaining category differences and trying to adapt material across formats.
