Area Level Champion

It was really an extraordinary experience for Taylor's University Toastmasters Club to have our very own club president representing our club for the Area B1 and B2 International Speech and Table Topics Contest on 3rd of March previously.

All of us were really nervous and excited for this day to arrive as we really wanted to watch the battle of the area's best champion speaker from each of their respective clubs.

So on that day, a few of our club members together with our president, attended the competition held at CIMA at 1.30pm. 

 

What makes us proud at the end of the day would be our club president TM Isabell Zubinsha who took both champion titles for Area B1& B2 International Speech and Table Topics Contest!!!

Imagine how much joy we had knowing that our club's president has topped the area and will be competing at the division B level!!!!

This is the group photo taken during the prize giving ceremony together with other winners and the chairperson.

It was really a brand new experience for our club to have this award since it got chartered a year ago.

Big congratulation to TM Isabell and we are hoping for the best for you at Division B's contest.

Club's 1st Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest

Here we go, having our first ever Humorous Speech and Evaluation Contest for our club.

It was really a fresh start for all of us as we don't have any experience in this type of competition before.

We certainly have grown from this competition as it really broadens our perception on how a contest is supposed to look like. 

Below will be some pictures of that day, August 20th 2011.

 This is Sanjay, one of our Time Keeper for that day, from MAS Toastmasters Club.

Yes indeed, the competition indeed creates laughter and smiles just like what you can see from him.

A BIG thank you to all role players who are present on that day.

Your presence really made a big difference and we sense the support given from all of you.

Thanks a lot!!!!

And we hope to see you all again for our next year's competition.

 Congratulations to the winners of the Evaluation contest, TM Kelly being the 1st runner up and TM Vincent being the Champion.

As for the humorous speech competition, congratulations to TM Zahir for being the 1st runner up and CC Maggie being the Champion.

And yes, the champions of our club went into the Area contest but unfortunately we did not have any results from that level. Nevermind, we are certain that we can get better results next year and we hope to push ourselves one step further and get a title for our self and for our club.

Till then, will see how we do next year then!!

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.
