What is Toastmasters? No, we don’t make toasters!

How Toastmasters Works

At Toastmasters, members learn by speaking to groups and working with others in a supportive
environment. A typical Toastmasters club is made up of 20 to 30 people who meet once a week for about
an hour. Each meeting gives everyone an opportunity to practice:

  • Conducting meetings. Meetings usually begin with a short business session which helps
    members learn basic meeting procedures.
  • Giving impromptu speeches. Members present one-to two-minute impromptu speeches on
    assigned topics.
  • Presenting prepared speeches. Three or more members present speeches based on projects
    from the Toastmasters International Communication and Leadership Program manuals. Projects
    cover such topics as speech organization, voice, language, gestures, and persuasion.
  • Offering constructive evaluation. Every prepared speaker is assigned an evaluator who points out
    speech strengths and offers suggestions for improvement
