This speech was a masterpiece, indeed! Rodrigo's body language, voice modulation, presentation, confidence were all apt and on point! Loved it! The element of humor added something more to the speech! Hope to present something perfect like this one day!

Thank you very much for uploading this video. I was desperately waiting for three months to watch Kaishika Rodrigo speech. I missed her speech during ovation 2016. Felt regretted for not attending. But now, Thanks to You, Sir, I am able to witness the winner from district D82. Thank You, Once again, Sir.

[@antonlaungston1367]

Princess Daugdaug, You can use it as long as it is not for a TostMasters contest along with presenting due credit to the original performer TM Kaishika Rodrigo. Good Luck

[@lankz2050]

From where is she?

[@ModithaSendanayake]

Sri Lanka. She represented Sri Lanka in Toastmasters International World Championship of Public Speaking 2016. Two years before to this performance, another Sri Lanka won the World Championship 2014 becoming the very first Asian to win this magnificent title. His name was Dananjaya Hettiarachchi. Another Sri Lankan made it to the finals in a later year. :)

[@lankz2050]

@@ModithaSendanayake I thought it by familiar facecut and pronouncing...😌 Thank you. I know Dhananjaya Hettiarachchi. I am happy to see Sri Lankans on the stage. She is great.

[@muhammadomer4674]

This couldve won but mYb too msny voices

[@mr.johnkazangile2445]

I suppose that public speech, should be addressing issues within the public; identifying and offer solutions , not telling motivational story

[@pramilaruth9748]

😂

[@gulshanmadhur100]

its more of a drama than speech...

[@ModithaSendanayake]

Toastmasters Speeches have different caliber and flavor. It's a separate art. Like in Debates

[@fathima5422]

drama? this speech was PERFECT, absolutely Perfect! That's exactly how a good speech with excellent body language, humour and content sounds like! Try listening to more Toastmasters' winning speeches, they all follow the same tactics and style of presentation!

[@arjalanarayan]

Sae

[@DomingosNovela]

She talks "black"... very cute...

[@TheCalculatorGuy]

? What?

[@melodymundy5985]

What a stupid thing to say...shallow black man. Who do you think you are?

[@DomingosNovela]

Y’all so busy in starting a fight about racism that didn’t bother to see that i was actually complimenting her. What’s the problem of saying that someone sounds like a “white, yellow, black”!? Not being racist it’s not pretending there are no races, it’s acknowledging the beauty that it’s race has. Without the video I could say it was a black american women delivering an amazing speech. If you listen to Trevor Noah without video, he doesn’t sound “black”, he has a sort of British accent. There’s nothing wrong with acknowledging differences. Let’s not divert from the real purpose here, that is to glorify this amazing speaker that took time to prepare this great speech.

[@svsgbs]

She speaks way better than I ever can.. But isn't she overacting too much? I don't understand how everyone here is so mermerized.. 🤦‍♂️

[@fathima5422]

I bet this is the first time you watched a Toastmaster speech in youtube. What the heck do u mean by "overacting''? Hon, that's how speeches are delivered in public speaking competitions, watch more toastmasters speeches in youtube, (especially 'Still standing' by Ramona), To give a killer speech, those are the elements to be followed - great humor, body language, eye contact- she followed them all, none of it was overacting (as you put it)

[@happiishappy7566]

Disappointed

[@fathima5422]

Disappointed? really? If you think you can do better than that, let me see u get ur butt out there and give a speech like that, heck, your speech would never be as apt as that, that speech is a masterpiece and don't u dare try insulting something like that.

[@princessdaugdaug6771]

may I ask for a permission? can I use it as my speech to our final requirement in our english subject? how can I get the copy of the speech? thanks. love it so much.
