DUtama: Speechcraft Program 2009

Dear Friends & Members,

Ever wanted to share your Toastmasters experience with your friends and family?

D'Utama Toastmasters Club (DUTC), is bringing to you a program on how to become a successful and confident communicator - Speechcraft. The Speechcraft Program will be held on the 28th & 29th March 2009 (Saturday and Sunday) at Pearl International Hotel, KL.


In a nutshell, Speechcraft is Toastmasters condensed into two days. This 2-Days intensive and fast track program is designed to coach your communication & public speaking skills. It will be conducted in a series of sessions, which include training in speaking, listening, thinking, evaluating and leadership. The facilitators for this program are experienced and competent members of D'Utama Toastmasters Club.


Participants of Speechcraft will be coached in the following areas:

  • Impromptu Speaking
  • Organising Your Speech
  • Role of Language
  • Body Gestures
  • Vocal Variety
  • Introducing a Speaker

Get your family and friends to participate! Let them benefit from the wonders of Toastmasters!

New Toastmasters members are also encouraged to join as there will be an exemption from Speech Assignments two and three in the Competent Communication (CC) Manual.

Many participants have benefited from Speechcraft from developing skills for speaking off the cuff effectively, improving on their speeches as well as gain that extra confidence when talking in front of an audience. From Speechcraft, many people have gained that extra edge in the professional or business line.
