We do speeches.
Where: in the Social Sciences Building, Room S0.20
When: on Tuesdays at 7:15 PM
Every week we get together and practise speaking to an audience.
Everyone is welcome, whatever your previous experience. Whether you're new to public speaking or are an experienced orator, you will be given a stage to perform and practise on.
You can join at any time of the year, an executive or experienced member will always be at the door to explain how the sessions are run.
You can also obtain internationally recognised qualifications in public speaking after having completed several speeches and other roles.
Regular Meetings
Prepared Speeches
Every week some members will get the chance to perform a speech they have prepared a few weeks before. This is how we train ourselves to speak with confidence, authority and enthusiasm. You get an evaluation from a more experienced speaker later on in the evening who tells you, and the rest of the audience, what your strengths are and how you could improve. Performing speeches is the only way to improve.
Improvised Speeches
Every week we also do some improvised speeches. These are entirely optional, though well worth a try. Not only are they exciting and addictive, they teach you how to think quickly and not panic.
The Break
Widely considered the most important part of the evening where we indulge in a selection of snack foods (and some healthy foods to squash that overpowering sense of guilt). Hot topics of conversation tend to include: "Would anyone mind if I had another twix?" and "Why are there no jaffa cakes this week?"
Competitions
This year we will be holding two public speaking competitions, one for members only and another that anyone can participate in. Watch this space and the various other pages around the web for more details.
