Speech contests

Hey people! What's the purpose of joining Toastmasters again?

Sorry, what did you say???

Ahhh I heard IMPROVING PUBLIC SPEAKING SKILLS!

Awesome, we all knew the reasons of joining this club.
So, how do we improve our speaking skills then?

Well, apart from delivering speeches during regular meetings in clubs, we should also push ourselves further to JOIN SPEECH COMPETITIONS!!!

Do I stand a chance?

Of course you do!!!

We have two BIG opportunities right now, namely the Humorous Speech and Evaluation contest and also the Inter-varsity Public speaking competition.

The details of the event are so far as follows:

Humourous Speech and Evaluation Contest
Date: 20.08.11 (Saturday)
Time: TBC
Venue: TBC

Please note that this contest has two categories:

1. Humourous Speech
2. Evaluation

You may choose to take part in either one or both categories.



Next off, do we have the next Martin Luther King Jr. in our midst? It’s that time of year again for us to unleash great talents through the Taylor’s University Inter-Varsity Public Speaking Competition 2011.

This is a competition for Taylor's students only and they are to compete with the best from other institutions of higher learning and for them stand a chance to win up to RM 1500 in cash!


This year’s theme will center on “Diversity”, where competition will kick-off Round 1 with the topic   “Unity in Diversity”.

Closing date for entries is on 3^rd August 2011 (Wednesday).

Fret not, you can just treat this as a regular speech delivery in a meeting.

Well, hope you all will be more keen to join competitions as it shows a bigger step of moving out of your comfort zone and also to gain exposure to the society.

After all, this is the point we join a public speaking club right?
Hope you all will volunteer to join, like how the people in the picture below do.

Signing off,
