Public Speaking
My internet connection shut off last night, so we fell behind on processing fan art thumbnails, however it's back and we're about 70% done. Hopefully all will be completed by tomorrow.
I've never mentioned it but I'm part of a local public speaking club here in NYC. I delivered my first speech yesterday, to about 30 people, without notes, and it was received very well. I was told it might be the best first speech any member has done at the club
In fact the Vice President of the club told the first-time guests "Don't be intimidated by Adam's first speech and feel like you have to be just as polished! He probably had a lot of experience going in"
It's true, I did have a lot of experience going in, from classes to corporate presentations to even, now, conventions, but still, was happy to hear it.
The club is called Toastmasters and they have branches in every city around the world. I STRONGLY recommend it, not just for improving your speaking ability, but also for networking/meeting lots of interesting people.
There are rankings too that you gain. The first is after you deliver 10 speeches, with each speech having a different goal.
