Testimonial for Toastmasters Speech 5

“One of the best “body language” speeches I’ve heard in a long time. Very animated! That’s what makes it work. Well assembled and organized. Great way to keep focus on just a few points.”

Kevin Hrim, Toastmasters Area 51 Governor, District 39

Note: This was a totally cool experience. I spoke to a crowd of 20 strangers, with no podium and without notes. I was evaluated by a panel of 5 Toastmasters. Before my speech, my chin shivered uncontrollably a few times, my handwriting was shaky and my knees felt weak once or twice. It was so cool!!!
