We're back with day 2! More courageous and enthusiastic speakers will take the stage and mesmerize the crowd, with their hidden talent - the great speaking skills :)
The 2nd day workshop started off with a table topic session, conducted by VPPR, Siew Li and evaluated by IPP, Jason Moi ACS, CL.
All participants were given a chance to do the table topics this morning! The order was set by the musical chair game, similarly, passing on "chicken little" while the music plays, until it stops! the person holding "chicken little" will have to to the table topics :) don't worry, the sky isn't falling yet!
Our 3rd speaker, IPP Jason Moi ACS, CL, then took the stage to share with us one important element in a speech - THE VOCAL VARIETY - which also gives more impact to a speech :)
Then, Stephanie Teoh,CC, CL, an experienced toastmasters all the way from Taylor's University Toastmasters Club, gave us some tips on evaluation. As the saying goes, evaluation is the breakfast for all champions. Therefore, it is vital that we learn to evaluate, by doing so, we would be more certain on how to improve our speech as well as not to repeat the same mistake all over again :)
She first warmed us up by dancing to Macarena after the heavy lunch :P
Our last speaker came all the way from MidValley Toastmasters Club, Timothy Nakayama, ACB shared with us how to work with words. Simple yet understandable usage of words, as well as usage of triads :)
Participants were then given 40 minutes to prepare their final speech for this workshop. They were to deliver a speech revolving - " how to say it " for 3-5 minutes :)

Excellent speech given by all the speakers, *round of applause*
Though it may just be their third time giving a speech in front of such a big crowd, they portrayed more confidence speaking in front of the public as compared to day 1. Indeed, practices makes perfect. In order to reduce the butterflies in the stomach when you get up on stage next time, believe in yourself! stop hesitating your ability and start practicing now!
After the award presentation ceremony, participants and speakers exchanged contacts details to keep in touch and not forgetting, a picture paints a thousand words - group photo! :)
