Music Techniques To Rock Out Your Speech

Since 2007, Rocky Schurr has been a member of Toastmasters where he found a home competing in speech contests. Since joining Rocky has won six District Championships, and, in 2015, advanced to the semi-finals of the World Championship of Public Speaking.

Rocky is a budding Public Speaking Coach, sharing his love for speaking and the skills he learned throughout his Toastmasters journey, to help others bring their speaking to a whole new level.

In this Workshop, you will learn how to add more rhythm and cadence to your speaking and learn to write a Hit Speech the same way that musicians write a Hit Song.

This half workshop/ half musical performance is an entertaining walk through how to use Musical Techniques to bring out the style and emotion of your speaking and bring your speaking to a new level.

Learning objectives:

– How your speech structure is like a song structure

– Letting emotion drive your words/ (lyrics) for more dramatic effect

– How to balance complexities in your speech

– How to make sure your message (a.k.a “Chorus”) rises to the top

Many clubs experience a loss in membership at September renewals as existing members leave the club for lots of different reasons. This incentive rewards clubs which renew 80% or more of their membership base at 30th June 2021. Having a good base of experienced members is important to offer mentoring to new members and stability to the club. 

It’s a good idea to follow up with members who do not renew to help club officers to understand the reason for not renewing and to extend an invite to rejoin at a future stage. They may be happy to stay on the club’s email list with this in mind.

Good PR attracts new guests, invites discussion and improves the reputation of the Club and Toastmasters generally.

Many clubs experience a loss in membership at September renewals as existing members leave the club for lots of different reasons. Recruiting in the early months helps to maintain the membership based upon the number of members at 30 June.

Maintaining a healthy membership number (25+) gives the club a much better opportunity to hold quality meetings with enough members to avoid double roles. Quality club meetings attract new members. Healthy club growth is an important part of Club Success.
