Toastmaster's Advanced Speech 5 - "Cinderella's Story"

This is speech #4 from  "The Entertaining Speaker" manual, called "A Dramatic Talk". The objective is to develop an entertaining dramatic talk about an experience or incident including vivid imagery, characters and dialogue. Time allotted is 5 to 7 minutes.

Once again, this blog came to my rescue and i narrated this story written three years ago - 

Cinderella's Story

This speech took 6:40 minutes to deliver and was appreciated for characterization and climax. A couple of sentence formations could have been done in a better way.

Toastmaster's Advanced Speech 4 - "A Software Engineer's Worst Nightmare"

This is speech #3 from  "The Entertaining Speaker" manual, called "Make Them Laugh". The objective is to prepare a humorous speech drawn from your own experience and deliver it in a way that makes the humor effective. Time allotted is 5 to 7 minutes.

I had attempted to write a humorous article a while back and used the same for this speech - 

A Software Engineer's Worst Nightmare

This speech took 6:30 minutes to deliver and was appreciated for the humor's relevance to the target audience. Voice modulation could have been better.
