Prepared and extempore speech practice night at the Circle - Monday 23rd November.

11/24/2015

The Circle was pleased to welcome back as adjudicators, two past Presidents, Desmond and Hilary Stephens, last night.  They reminded us of former years' activities when meetings were well attended by  a range of occupational groups, all keen to develop and refine their public speaking skills.   The current President, yours truly, welcomed them to the meeting and outlined, for participants, the requirements of the practice skills and the timings involved.    Then Desmond spoke about the kinds of things he and Hilary would be looking for in an effective speech.
He referred to the five 'p's' that's to say - voice projection, pitch, power, pause and poise, and of saying something the audience can relate to. The speaker should move on to the main body of the speech, progressing to a well-rounded finish.
 
Suitable primed members, had four minutes maximum to address their chosen topic.  That first task completed, the Extempore titles were distributed and ten minutes given for preparation with maximum time of three minutes.  Surprisingly, this activity saw more spontaneity, so obviously less time to ponder what to say, was an advantage here.
 
The adjudicators gave helpful opinions and pointers as to how particular speeches could be improved etc.  The President then thanked Hilary and Stephen for the most valuable awareness -raising of techniques to improve our public speaking skills.  Our Secretary presented them with a token of thanks and the meeting finished with some refreshments.
 
Next week's activity on Monday 30th November, will be on the theme of Debating techniques and once again, we will be pleased to see new people come along, whether to observe or participate.
