The Toastmaster is the emcee for the meeting. It is the Toastmaster's task to introduce each speaker and form a bridge between the various parts of the meeting. The Toastmaster is responsible for contacting the speakers to gain information for the program such as their speech title and which project they are doing. The Toastmaster uses this information and the names of the other scheduled meeting participants to create the written agenda used for the meeting. Between speakers, the Toastmaster asks each person in the meeting to complete the brief evaluation form for the speaker (at least one thing the speaker did well and one thing they could have done differently). Once these are complete, they are passed to the speaker’s evaluator. | The Grammarian presents a new or little known word for us to learn and records the number of times each person uses it during the meeting. This serves to increase everybody’s vocabulary. At the end of the meeting the Grammarian reports on the frequency of word of the day usage. The Grammarian also records good and not-so-good uses of the English language and reports these at the end of the meeting. | Speakers present prepared speeches. Toastmasters International’s Basic Communications and Leadership Manual and Advanced manuals provide structure and guidance to improve skills such as organization, vocabulary, vocal variety, and body language. |
