Information about workshop:
One Free Workshop will be provided to help contestants prepare their speeches. All contestants are eligible for participating the workshop.
The Youth English Speech Workshop is designed to help students learn core public speaking skills and gain an understanding of the criteria of a good speech. It also provides an opportunity for students to practice and enhance their speech skills.
We have invited experienced speakers from Texas Dragon Toastmasters Club to present crucial techniques in public speaking, including how to organize a speech, how to use vocal variety and body language, and more. Guest student speakers will give demonstration speeches that apply these techniques, which will be followed by live evaluations from experienced evaluators, including Distinguished Toastmasters (DTM).
We will also explain the speech contest judging guidelines to prepare you for the upcoming contest on June 10th, 2023.
Workshop on May 27, 2023, 2:00PM-4:00PM CDT, UT Dallas JSOM Davidson Auditorium.
