How Toastmasters Works Members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive environment. A typical club is made up of at least 30 people who meet once a week for about an hour and a half.
Members present one to two minute impromptu speeches on assigned topics.
Presenting prepared speeches. Two members present speeches based on projects from the Toastmasters Manual. Projects cover such topics as speech organization, voice, language, gestures and persuasion. Offering constructive evaluation. Every prepared speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement.
