TM Bee Guan, our ever conscientious and dedicated VPE got into his stride with the challenge to be a test speaker for the Area C4 contest held in Summit Auditorium, Summit USJ.
He got his speech prepared and was rather nervous as it was his first time being a test speaker. He even skipped the refreshments which were prepared. His hands were cold and then, the moment arrived..
"..invite our test speaker for today..TM Teo Bee Guan with his title You Are What You Read!"
TM Bee Guan took the control from the contest chair and began with his speech on reading. On how, these days, the younger generation would rather read entertainment news instead of more beneficial news or books that feeds the mind.
"..its so bad that there are some young people who thinks that India is the short of Indonesia."
He went on with his speech which was peppered with humour and yet sprinkled with a dash of the whole issue's gravity.
It isnt an easy task to be giving a speech in auditorium because you would need to regulate your voice. Voice projection while giving a speech in an auditorium is important because people sitting behind may not be able to hear you, hence, they lose interest in listening to you.
Body language such as facial expressions, gestures, pacing are all packaged into a slightly difficult task because you need to add a little more drama or else, the people behind wouldnt feel the impact of the speech.
Besides that, the fact that you are on stage, an elevated platform, can give you the nerves!
And TM Bee Guan showed us that sheer determination with Toastmasters training, is not an issue at all as he wow-ed the audience and made UM Tmc so proud.
Congratulations Dear VPE! Keep the momentum going and know that we are so proud of you!
Kimmy Foo,
President,
UM Tmc.
