Toastmasters Revisited and Expanded
Join us for a “hands on” seminar about improving your public speaking skills. Doug LaVine is a professional DJ & MC and Wed Guild® member, who has competed and won in several international Toastmaster speech contests. Doug will visit how to use better forms of speech, vocal variety, body language and how to let your body speak. Those are things that turn average speakers into great speakers as well as smooth entertainers on the microphone! Honing such skills will make you the better choice for your prospective clients who want a great spokesperson and Master of Ceremonies. You also will feel better about turning on the mic, knowing that you will be judged by everyone in the room and own it. As time permits, Doug will conduct advanced exercises in speaking off the cuff and how to recognize and eliminate filler words, poor body language, and improper speech and convert each to a positive, using fewer and better words.
