Overcoming Nerves with Speechcraft
At a Speechcraft course hosted by Judy Murphy, DTM Wandin Toastmasters club, this is what one participant had to say…
I would highly recommend Wandin Toastmasters’ Speechcraft course to everyone. I was extremely terrified of speaking in public but the course structure makes you participate in a variety of activities in a fun way. And the friendliness and ease with which it is conducted, can calm any nervous speaker and help them in overcoming their public speaking fears. – Minu Vipin, SC participant, Speechcraft course Nov 2018.

What is Speechcraft?
Speechcraft is a short course run by Toastmasters that covers the basics of public speaking. It’s been described as ‘jet-powered learning’ by participants, and typically runs for four or six weeks. Group sizes are kept small – usually eight to sixteen participants.
What do you learn?
Taking a Speechcraft course helps you improve your communication skills and self-confidence. You learn how to:
- deal with nerves and anxiety
- write and deliver prepared speeches
- improve your impromptu speaking ability
- learn how to give and receive feedback
Can Speechcraft be run at your workplace?
District 73 Toastmasters may be able to send a team of our experienced Toastmasters to your company so your employees can learn without even leaving the office.
For corporate enquiries in relation to Speechcraft, please email Maribel Steel.
