COMGRUPOS · Communication and public speaking
Communication that carries what you have to say.
The world changes. So do relationships. Communication evolves by building new skills that respond to change and strengthen your results.
Knowing how to speak, how to listen and how to truly connect are the most valuable skills in this landscape.
The DPPT method — Personal Development through Theatre Practice, created by Andrell Lopes. Online sessions, in Portuguese and English, for people who present, lead meetings and speak in public.
How we work
Individual Session
Prepare for a specific presentation, interview or meeting.
Entonação Vendedora
6 hours over 4 sessions of 90 minutes, focused on intonation.
Oratória Espetacular Mentorship
Live online program, lasting at least 3 months.
The starting point
Knowing your subject is not the same as holding the room.
Professionals who master their own field can still struggle to communicate ideas, sustain an argument, run a meeting or stand their ground in front of decision-makers.
Our approach is simple and demanding: developing communication through practice, awareness, technique and ongoing guidance. You start at your current level and grow from there.
What usually happens
- Solid knowledge, hesitant delivery.
- Good arguments that get lost halfway through.
- Meetings run on improvisation.
- Communication without method or consistency.
What practice builds
- Clarity to organise what needs to be said.
- Confidence to sustain arguments consistently.
- Judgement to lead presentations and meetings.
- Guided practice and ongoing support.
What sets us apart
Personal Development through Theatre Practice.
We grow through relationships. Theatre is relational intelligence at its best: solid relationships build careers.
DPPT is a structured method that brings together self-awareness, emotional intelligence, theatre practice, communication and leadership. Designed for professionals, it turns these dimensions into hands-on experiences of interpersonal and leadership development.
Created by Andrell Lopes.
01
Theatre
Theatre practice is the method’s laboratory. On stage, speech stops being theory and becomes something you can observe: repetition, listening, presence and adjustment.
02
Self-awareness
Noticing how you actually produce your voice, your gestures and your expressions. That reading is what tells us where to focus.
03
Emotional intelligence
Recognising and managing your own state when you are in the spotlight, so that nerves no longer decide how you come across.
04
Effective communication
Organising your own communication, sustaining arguments consistently and improving the way you position yourself professionally.
05
Leadership
Better interactions create better personal and professional bonds. That is what sustains presentations, meetings, team management and client relationships.

The approach
Knowing what to say is not enough. You have to carry how you say it.
The work doesn’t change your content: it organises the delivery. Voice, pace, presence and judgement stop being talent and become skills you can train.
- Practice before theory: you speak, observe and adjust.
- An original method, applied to your real context.
- Self-awareness as the starting point of every session.
- Ongoing support and development.
Programs
Three paths. One method.
From fine-tuning a single presentation to a three-month program. The entry point changes; guided practice doesn’t.
Starting point
Individual Session
To prepare a presentation, an interview, a meeting or any professional situation where your performance needs to stand out. It helps you work on the different aspects of your communication and find where to focus.
- We design a scene in which the speaker feels at ease
- Work on your real situation
- Online

From our students
What changes after the sessions.
“Andrell is one of the best teachers I’ve had in my life. He has an explanation for everything and the exercises we do during the lesson are very well structured. Nothing feels rushed and he takes his time to understand what you want to work on and gives proper feedback by being very supportive.”
Bill · Public speaking student
“I am very happy with the classes. Andre is fun, very didactic and makes the classes dynamic and interesting. He has a holistic approach to public speaking, which includes breathing exercises, voice management, stress control and body language. Highly recommended.”
Irene · Public speaking student
“Andrell is so knowledgeable and makes the process fun & challenging! Even after a session, I feel that I learned a lot & got to step outside my comfort zone. I am so happy I found him and I look forward to working with him in the future!”
Stephanie · Public speaking student
“Andrell is excellent. He is knowledgeable, patient, and explains concepts clearly. The lessons were engaging and tailored to my needs, with flexible scheduling. Highly recommended!”
Lukas · Public speaking student
“Andrell builds up my energy and engagement and makes our sessions really fun. He provides good exercises that both help me work on technical concerns like breathing and using facial muscles, and emotional expressiveness through voicing different personalities.”
Daniel · Public speaking student
“Andrell is exceptional! He is both a coach and a mentor who inspires you to be the best you possibly can. He guided me every step of the way, and he covered every aspect of what I needed to do to be successful in my speech. Amazing!”
