Speechcraft Workshops
Speechcraft is the quickest means by which people can
jump right into the process of improving their speaking
skills. Designed mainly for non-Toastmasters, this series
of educational sessions covers a number of topics that
play a part in good public speaking, including the following:
- Take the Terror Out of a Talk
- Speech Organization
- Construct a Speech
- How to Relate to Your Audience
- Gestures
- Vocal Variety
- Using Visual Aids
- Effective Speech Evaluation
Speechcraft normally takes six to ten hours over the
course of three to ten meetings, depending upon the
pace and schedule set by the hosting team of presenters.
Over the course of these sessions, participants learn
about good public speaking and have the opportunity
to practice within the Speechcraft group, mentored by
experienced Toastmasters. Friendships and careers can
and do blossom from the Speechcraft experience.
There usually is a nominal fee, which covers the cost
of materials for the workshop, as well as an initial
membership in Toastmasters. This new membership will
help you solidify and continue the learning that you
have begun in the Speechcraft program.
A Speechcraft workshop is the most cost-effective and
time-effective way to acquire the skills of speaking,
listening, thinking, and evaluating - skills vital to
almost any profession in today's world.
If you would like to help conduct a Speechcraft workshop
by becoming a coordinator, please contact District
4's Lieutenant Governor Marketing,
who will assist you in preparing the Speechcraft program.
