FAQ #28


How many speeches must I perform before I earn Toastmasters' entry level designation, i.e. the Competent Toastmaster (CTM)?

ANSWER.  Ten (10). The first one (entitled The Ice Breaker) must last between 4 and 6 minutes. The next 8 must last between 5 and 7 minutes, and the tenth speech you give is supposed to last 8 to 10 minutes. The remaining 9 speech projects are as follows:

  1. Organize Your Speech
  2. Get to the Point
  3. How to Say It
  4. Your Body Speaks
  5. Vocal Variety
