Toastmasters Speech

I've heard it said, "practice makes perfect". Practice paid of for me yesterday as I did my fourth (CC4) toastmasters speech. But instead of saying that practice makes perfect I would rather say "practice make better".

Among three other speeches delivered I won the best speaker award for the evening. I did record the speech with a camcorder so that I can analyze it for improvement or just to see were I did well.

Beside the objectives for the speech, which are given in the Competent Communicator manual from Toastmasters International, I work in the speech tips written by Tim Ferriss here. He says we should be able to answer two questions in a speech, which are:

A. What’s your point?
B. Why does it matter?

It worked well for me and I plan on using this approach again.

In the future I plan on posting my speeches here (via www.youtube.com) but this one I wont, because the topic is not relevant for this blog.
