INDUCTING OFFICER [to new members]:

“[Address new members by name],

Our collective obligation in the Toastmasters Club is to grow and improve ourselves and to share our knowledge and experience with fellow members.

“Now, I request all of our Club members to stand. Please say, “I will” after I read out our Club’s pledge to our new members”.

“We, the members of the ____________ Toastmasters Club, pledge to support you in your quest for self-development, to provide you with positive, helpful evaluations, to maintain a friendly, supportive atmosphere, to give you opportunities to help others, and to make your Toastmasters membership a rewarding and fulfilling experience.”

[Inducting officer asks mentors to place a membership pin on each new member and hands each new member a Toastmasters membership certificate. Inducting officer leads applause, and then asks new members to return to their seats.]

Tips for Humorous Speech

Toastmasters Club 1384 in Tulsa has helped individuals to achieve confidence and skill in speaking and leadership since 1954. Called Gilcrease Toastmasters (but meeting near 46th and Memorial), we are a friendly, supportive group who are continuously learning and we invite you to visit any time.

Here are nine tips for excelling in and winning a humorous speech contest, from Frank Slane, a past international director who has won many contests, and a member of our club.

1. Use a timely subject – original or at least fresh, but something everyone can relate to.

2. Construct your speech. It’s better to construct a speech than tell a story. Write it, organize it, revise and practice it.

3. Use the Judging Form as your guide – and aim at the judges! Audience response is important, but it’s the scoring by the judges that determines whether you win or lose. Get very familiar with that form the judges are using as their guide!

4. Keep it clean – absolutely no “blue” material. Do not offend anyone.

Examples:

In 1988, a contestant lost the District contest not because he had poor material but because he “dirtied up” his speech needlessly. He learned his lesson. In 1991 he won the District contest and the next Spring he won the Region contest.

Another very funny speech did not win District because it had too many references to body parts and functions.

Rule: When in doubt, throw it out. If you hesitate about the propriety of your material, you have reasonable doubt. No matter how much you like it, toss it out. Toastmasters’ speech contests are for Toastmasters audiences. Do not confuse a speech contest with a night club act. People will laugh at your smut, but they also will resent it.

What Should You Do to Win?

5. Comedy + Action = Laughs. Example: Keystone Cops or Three Stooges + Accidents and Dumb Acts = Audience Laughter!

6. Opening. Get the attention of every audience member in a memorable way. Get a laugh early in the speech, in the opening, by shocking the audience or being funny.

7. Body. Keep it interesting and keep it moving. Keep it short. Use stories and jokes, but stick to just the essentials (you don’t need names and you’ll bore the audience with details). Make it personal. Make fun of yourself, not others. Work the audience. If you can’t involve them physically, use vivid word pictures.

8. Conclusion. Leave them laughing or excited. Use a strong punch line that relates to your subject, or perform a memorable act that will stay with them.

9. Your speech should be unique. Don’t do what other speakers do. Use a different style, a gimmick. Get the audience into the act.

Remember the Three Stooges: People love action!

Speech evaluation

The first article of the Speech Analysis Series explained how to study and critique a speech.

In this second article, we examine how to improve your own speaking skills by teaching others in the form of speech evaluations.

You should regularly provide evaluations for other speakers — not only because it is a nice thing to do, but because the process of evaluating another speaker helps you improve your own speaking skills dramatically.

The Speech Analysis Series
How to Study and Critique a Speech
The Art of Delivering Evaluations
Modified Sandwich Technique for Evaluations
Evaluation Forms, Tools, and Resources
Toastmasters Evaluation Contests
Speech evaluations are a core element of the Toastmasters educational program. After every speech, one or more peers evaluates how well the speaker delivered their message. Frequent feedback from peers helps speakers improve their skills.

However, speech evaluation is not limited to the Toastmasters program.

You can evaluate a co-worker’s presentation.
You can give feedback to the leader of a volunteer group in your neighbourhood.
Or, in a more formal relationship, you might provide a critique to a client you are coaching.
I recently led a speech evaluation workshop. In that workshop, we discussed the following tips for delivering helpful, encouraging, and effective speech evaluations.

1. Effective speech evaluations benefit everyone
You Evaluate, You ImproveI often hear statements like “Only the speaker gets any benefit from an evaluation of their speech.” This is false.

You (as the evaluator) improve as a speaker by providing an evaluation. A great way to solidify your own knowledge is to teach it to others.
The speaker becomes aware of both their strengths and areas with potential for improvement.
The audience for the evaluation (if there is one, as in Toastmasters) benefits from hearing the evaluation and applying the lessons to their own presentations.
Future audiences benefit from improved speakers.
2. Learn the objectives of the speaker.
Before the speech takes place, ask the speaker what their objectives are. Sometimes the objective is obvious, but not always.

Perhaps the speaker has just read the Presentation Zen book and is experimenting with a modern style of visuals which goes against common practice.

If you know this, you can tailor your evaluation accordingly.
If you don’t, you may unfairly criticize them for not considering the expectations of the audience.
3. Consider the skill level of the speaker… sometimes.
Evaluating the (very) inexperienced speaker:
Treat novice speakers with extra care. Be a little more encouraging and a little less critical, particularly if they exhibit a high level of speaking fear. Compliment them on tackling their fear. Reassure them that they aren’t as bad as they imagine.

Be supportive. Ask them how they feel it went.

Evaluating the (very) experienced speaker:
A common misconception is that you cannot evaluate a speaker if they are more experienced than you. This is false. Though you may have limited speaking experience, you have a lifetime of experience listening to presentations.

Your opinion matters. As a member of the audience, you are who the speaker is trying to reach. You are fully qualified to evaluate how well that message was communicated.

Every speaker, no matter how experienced, can improve. Perhaps more importantly, every speaker wants to improve. You can help.

4. Take advantage of available tools.
ToolboxA speech evaluation is a pretty simple thing. Just listen to the speech, take some notes, and then share your opinion. Right?

That’s a good formula when you’re learning the art of delivering evaluations, but to really improve your skills, you’ll want to start assembling the many tools at your disposal:

Study other evaluators and apply their techniques.
Solicit feedback from others on your technique.
Develop evaluation templates or forms that work for you.
If available, utilize audio or video recordings to complement your evaluation. As an example:
Without video, you can only tell when a gesture could have been used.
With a video recording, you can show exactly where a timely gesture could be used.
5. Be truthful.
If you did not like the speech, do not say that you did. If you did not like a component of the speech, do not say you did.

There is a tendency to want to be nice and embellish the positives. Dishonest praise will only damage your credibility and character.

6. Express your opinion.
Avoid speaking on behalf of the audience with phrases like “Everyone thought…” or “The audience felt…” You can only accurately talk about are your own thoughts and feelings.

On the other hand, suppose you observe a spectator crying as a result of an emotional speech. In this case, you can remark on this as evidence that the speech had emotional impact.

Magical phrases in a speech evaluation start with personal language: “I thought… I liked… I felt… I wish…”

7. Avoid absolute statements.
There are very few public speaking rules. For every best practice, there’s a scenario where a speaker would be wise to go against convention. Phrases such as “You should never…” or “One should always…” should rarely be part of an evaluator’s vocabulary.

Ten Commandments of Public Speaking

8. Be specific. Use examples. Explain why.
How can you make sure that the constructive criticism doesn’t completely outweigh the praise and end up discouraging the speaker?

The answer: be specific. Studies have shown that specific praise is much more encouraging than generic praise. This applies to criticism as well. Specific feedback (positive or negative) is more meaningful than generic feedback.
e.g. “I liked the dynamic opening of your speech.” is better than “I liked your speech.”

In addition to being specific and tying comments to examples from the speech, it also helps to explain why you liked or didn’t like a particular aspect of the speech.

Consider the effectiveness of the following four statements:

“Gestures were poor.“
“Gestures were limited in the first half of the speech.“
“Gestures were limited in the first half of the speech because the speaker gripped the lectern.“
“Gestures could have been improved in the first half of the speech. By removing her hands from the lectern, she could more easily make natural gestures.“
Statement #4 is phrased in a positive manner, it is specific, it references an example from the speech, and states why it is good not to grip the lectern.

9. Don’t evaluate the person or their objective.
Evaluate the Message, Not the MessengerEvaluate how well the message is delivered, not the messenger. Keep your comments focused on the presentation.

Similarly, avoid evaluating the speaker’s objective. For example, suppose the speaker’s objective is to convince the audience that recycling is a waste of time. If you always reduce, reuse, and recycle, don’t let that influence your evaluation. (By all means, start a debate about it later, write an article, give your own speech, etc.) As an evaluator, your primary role is to help the speaker achieve their objective in the most convincing way possible.

10. Evaluate whether the objective was achieved.
Everything other than the speaker themself and their primary objective is fair game for your evaluation: content, speech structure, humor, visuals, eye contact, gestures, intangibles, etc. and everything else covered in the first article from this series.

11. The best evaluations are a combination of praise, areas for improvement, and specific suggestions.
All three elements are essential, but can be mixed in numerous ways. This is the focus for the next article in this series: The Modified Sandwich Technique for Evaluations.

True, there are few speaking rules that aren’t broken from time to time by the greats. But here are some that all should try honor:

1. Don’t bore the audience.
2. Don’t data dump.
3. Don’t be abstract.
4. Don’t leave out relevant examples.
5. Don’t leave out relevant stories.

Andrew Dlugan
TJ: You are not alone. Several of your guidelines were mentioned in the public speaking audience survey.

Great post about evaluations.

I like your model. Did you create it? It shows the often overlooked elements of speaking to help you improve as an evaluator.

Cheers

Darren:
Yes, I created the “You…Improve” model above for the speech evaluation workshop I conducted.

Hi, I am weak in the area of giving good critiques of fellow Toastmasters of Akron151 club in akron Ohio. I am an ATM-B.
I am looking for feedback on giving better ones.

REPLY
Andrew Dlugan
Robert: It’s a pretty common situation for many members. We can all improve. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

I find this very useful and handy in conducting speechcrafts for young students and in evaluating speakers in Toastmasters meetings. Effective evaluation opens positive opportunities for everyone.

ah…what a gift! I am scheduled to evauate a brilliant speaker tomorrow at our toastmasters meeting. Needless to say I’ve been feeling a bit apprehensive. You have resourced and empowered me…and I am grateful!

Hi Andrew,

These articles are great. I am creating courses at the moment for drama undergraduates for whom English is a second, or third, language. I want to teach them techniques to evaluate dramatic speeches delivered by great models and each other, as a step towards being able to perform in English confidently and competently.

May I make use of some of your material? I would, of course, give you full credit and would comply with whatever restrictions you felt were appropriate.

Thanks for considering my request, regards, Kate

Dear Andrew,

Thank you for helping me as a teacher who is and for the time going to teach a public speaking course. You website is really beneficial.
After reading many public speaking articles from different sources, I found that some of them advocate that the speaker welcomes and thanks the audience and others like you for example don’t support this idea. As a listener or a speaker I would not mind if the speaker welcomes and/or thanks the audience. Most speeches especially classical ones include greeting and thanking statements. would you please give me your opinion about that? Thanks again.

REPLY
Andrew Dlugan
Josiane:

I am neither strongly in favor nor strongly opposed to welcoming or thanking the audience. The decision depends a great deal on the nature of the event, length of the speech, cultural norms, and the comfort level of the speaker. Having said that, there’s a few things to consider:

[1] Lengthy welcome messages (“I’m pleased to be here… What a lovely day… thanks for inviting me… “) tend to be a weak way to open a speech. It is generally far more effective to launch directly into the speech. Occasionally, a short welcome statement can be used to transition into a powerful opening.

Dananjaya Hettiarachi Tips (world champion speaker 2014) at Kuching Toastmasters Conference 16 May 2015.

Common to every one is that we all "Have Dreams"
60% of the world - everything is good but not just great.
From being good to great.


Five things:
1. Belief in the possibility of your dreams
Wanting & wishing something
"When you want something as much as you want to breathe" you will be successful.
How can you win sth you haven't seen, heard, feel.

2. Right Attitude - a) Risk & b) Failing
Sometimes we just got to do it.
Take risk. Failing and being a failure are two different things.
If resilience is a muscle the exercise you need to build it is called "failure".
Perfect practice make you perfect. It comes through numerous failure.

3. Little things make the difference.
It is the small things that matters.

4. Learn to become a better person before you become a better speaker/leader.
When you focus on being a good person your voice become better

5. Sustain your success
There is a ticket to a speaking industry
I am a student learning to climb a new mountain
Life is journey and the journey is home. There is no destination.
You got to have balls to achieve your dreams.
When you want something bad enough god will conspire to give it to you.

Maklumat Tentang Toastmasters International

Toastmasters International is a world leader in communication and leadership development. Our membership is 313,000 strong. Members improve their speaking and leadership skills by attending one of the 14,650 clubs in 126 countries that make up our global network of meeting locations.
The world needs leaders. Leaders head families, coach teams, run businesses and mentor others. These leaders must not only accomplish, they must communicate. By regularly giving speeches, gaining feedback, leading teams and guiding others to achieve their goals in a supportive atmosphere, leaders emerge from the Toastmasters program. Every Toastmasters journey begins with a single speech. During their journey, they learn to tell their stories. They listen and answer. They plan and lead. They give feedback—and accept it. Through our community of learners, they find their path to leadership.

Toastmasters International Mission

We empower individuals to become more effective communicators and leaders.

District Mission

We build new clubs and support all clubs in achieving excellence.

Club Mission

We provide a supportive and positive learning experience in which members are empowered to develop communication and leadership skills, resulting in greater self-confidence and personal growth.

Toastmasters International Values

  • Integrity
  • Respect
  • Service
  • Excellence

Toastmasters International Envisioned Future

To be the first-choice provider of dynamic, high-value, experiential communication and leadership skills development.

TUGAS SERGEANT AT ARMS

Sergeant at Arms

You keep track of the club’s physical property, such as the banner, lectern, timing device, and other meeting materials. You arrive early to prepare the meeting place for members, and you stay late to stow all of the club’s equipment. You are also in charge of the meeting place itself, obtaining a new space when necessary, and maintaining contact with the people who allow you to use the space for your club meetings. The sergeant at arms also has a role to play during business meetings, speech contests, and other special club events. For example, the sergeant at arms escorts potential new members outside of the club’s meeting place while the members vote on admitting them to the club. The sergeant at arms stands at the door while contestants compete in speech contests to ensure that the speaker is not interrupted by latecomers. Stay current on all new developments via The Leader Letter and the announcements published on the Toastmasters website.

TUGAS BENDAHARI

Treasurer

You are the club’s accountant. You manage the club’s bank account, writing checks as approved by the executive committee and depositing dues and other club revenues. You are also in charge of submitting membership-renewal dues to World Headquarters (accompanied by the names of renewing members), filing necessary tax documents, and keeping timely, accurate, up-to-date financial records for the club. Though the treasurer’s duties are usually not the most demanding of all the club leadership positions, the consequences for members can be serious when they’re not completed accurately and on time. Stay current on all new developments via The Leader Letter and the announcements published on the Toastmasters website.

TUGAS SETIAUSAHA

Secretary

As the secretary, you maintain all club records, manage club files, handle club correspondence, and take the minutes at each club and executive committee meeting. You are also in charge of updating and distributing a roster of the current paid membership, and keeping the club officer list current at World Headquarters. Though some clubs combine the secretary role with the treasurer, it’s best to have a dedicated secretary who can help reduce the workload of the treasurer and occasionally assist the vice president education as well.

TUGAS NAIB PRESIDEN PERHUBUNGAN AWAM

Vice President Public Relations

You promote the club to the local community and notify the media about the club’s existence and benefits it provides. You promote the club, update web content, and safeguard the Toastmasters brand identity. It’s your job to notify the media whenever your club does something newsworthy. As vice president public relations, you’ll find yourself writing news releases, creating and distributing fliers, and maintaining the club’s presence at various key places on the Web and in the community. Stay current on all new developments via The Leader Letter, M/PR Newsletter, Toastmaster magazine and the announcements published on the Toastmasters website and social media sites.

TUGAS NAIB PRESIDEN KEAHLIAN

Vice President Membership

GESTURES AND BODY LANGUAGE

Seven SecretsSpeakers generate a great amount of emotion and interest through the use of non-verbal 
communication, often called gestures or body language. A speaker's body can be an 
effective tool for emphasizing and clarifying the words they use, while reinforcing their 
sincerity and enthusiasm. Here are a few tips on how to use gestures effectively:
  • Eye contact establishes an immediate bond with an audience, especially when a 
speaker focuses in on individual listeners rather than just gazing over the audience as 
a whole.
  • Control mannerisms. Mannerisms are the nervous expressions a speaker 
might not be aware of such as putting their hands in their pockets, nodding their head 
excessively, or using filler words like um and ah too often.
  • Put verbs in to action when speaking to an audience by physically acting them 
out with the hands, face or entire body.
  • Avoid insincere gestures by involving the entire body as much as possible in 
the movement and matching facial expressions to it.
  • Move around the stage as topics change and move toward the audience when 
asking questions, making critical connections, or offering a revelation

VISUAL AIDS AND PROPS

Club ExperienceVisual aids and props are an effective way of supporting and supplementing
 any speech or presentation. Visual aids and props should be colorful and unique, 
but not so dazzling that they detract from the speaker's presence. Never use visual aids 
and props as a way of avoiding eye contact or interaction with an audience, such as 
reading directly from slides. Here is a list of common visual aids and props, and quick 
tips for using them effectively:
  • Diagrams, graphs and charts should always coincide with what is being said in
 the speech. Always stand to the side of a diagram, graph or chart while facing the audience.
  • Maps should be simple and easy to understand, with key places or points 
clearly plotted or marked.
  • PowerPoint slides should present main points as short sentences and bullet 
points and should never be read verbatim by the speaker or presenter.
  • Lists should be kept to a minimum. Five or six listed items are usually enough.
  • Handouts should be passed out to an audience before or after a presentation 
to avoid wasting time and causing a distraction.
  • Photographs or sketches can be powerful visual aids as long as a speaker 
maintains consistency between what is being said and what is being shown. 
  • Physical objects and props should not be too large or too small, nor too few or 
too many. They should always be relevant to the presentation or speech and should 
always be checked prior to taking the stage to make sure they are working properly.
