The concept
The first eloquence contest organised on French television.
in search of the best speaker in France
With Le Grand Oral, France 2 is looking for the best orator in France! Presented by Laurent Ruquier, this competition will see 12 candidates compete at the Bouglione Winter Circus and it is the Brightness agency that has the chance to accompany six ofthem.
They are between 18 and 78 years old, come from different backgrounds and yet share a passion for eloquence. To decide between them, France 2 called on a jury of six personalities who have made the spoken word their best asset.
The brightness agency
For weeks, the public speaking trainers from Brightness have been preparing the candidates for the three events: the solos, the duels and the final.
At Brightness, we are convinced that the ability to inspire is an essential quality and that winning hearts and minds in the 21st century requires mastery of storytelling and orality. Brightness is the historical partner and has accompanied TEDxParis since the first edition.
