Gathering of Toastmasters
The Toastmasters International Programme
showcased some of its speakers at UTAR with the goal of chartering a
Toastmasters club at UTAR Sungai Long Campus on 27 Febuary 2016.
The club will be hosted under the wing of the
Drama and Public Speaking Society (Sungai Long Campus) and will assist in
the public speaking aspect of the society. Invited speakers at the event
included distinguished Toastmaster, Vincent Ho.
The event featured presentations of speeches,
impromptu table topics, Q&A sessions, as well as a role-playing
demonstration of various characters known as The Timer, Sergeant at Arms,
‘Ah’ Counter, Speech Evaluator, Grammarian, and Toastmaster of the Day.
“The event held at UTAR was a demonstration of
the speakers who represent Toastmaster International (TI) and their interest
to charter a local club,” said Faculty of Creative Industries (FCI) lecturer
Janet Fernandez.
The best table topic speaker was also voted by
the audience and given a Toastmasters Ribbon souvenir.
