Speech contests are a Toastmasters tradition and each year thousands of Toastmasters compete. This year, the contests will be in the Table Topics and International Speech. Competition begins with club contests and winners competing through the area, division and district levels to reach the grand finale. There are many reasons to join Rock Toastmasters and compete in a contest. The main reason is that you will learn a great deal and gain valuable experience in public speaking. Rock Toastmasters is a great setting to learn in. It helps overcome your fears because there are no “bad consequences” if you make mistakes. You can measure your skills against others, in a fail-safe environment. As you dig deep down into your speeches, you become better at public speaking – and it‘s fun! Join us and check out the local clubs as they compete to advance to the next round.
