Win a Toastmasters SPEECH EVALUATION Contest (A Process for a Great Speech Evaluation)

[@kath-san]

I'll be doing a speech evaluation contest for the first time in my Toastmasters journey. Your video is really helpful. Thank you so much!

[@wadepaterson]

You're going to crush it! Let me know how it goes afterward!

[@claudiaa.3268]

I think the conclusion should not be so generic as you described. "In conclusion ..." then you remind the audience of the strengths and weaknesses of John's speech.

[@wadepaterson]

Fair point. Simply sharing what has worked for me in the past, but I don't disagree with you!

[@leahmcnaul6443]

thank you for this explanation. I didn't know about doing it in the 3rd person so that will be helpful (and also very challenging because I thrive on the one on one connection with the speaker) for my upcoming competition

[@wadepaterson]

You're welcome! This was tough for me as well at first; however, for the contest itself, it's best to be in 3rd person. What's most important is not to bounce back and forth between 1st and 3rd person.

[@eunicetekourofori9929]

these tips have been very helpful.....i am prepping for my contest today

[@wadepaterson]

Best of luck with the contest! I'd love to hear how it goes for you. Really glad these tips made an impact.

[@Kanthiperera-pt4vr]

I'm studying your brilliant explanation to do my table topic evaluator roll. your trips are fantastic, Thank you very much 👍

[@wadepaterson]

Glad this was helpful for you! Thanks for watching :)

[@meghajindal]

You have summed up the best practices really well. The new thing I learnt was the column with arrows. Pretty cool ! Will try it :) thanks.

Sorry for the delay in response! Thanks for watching! How did the contest go??

[@pmendonca4623]

I was just going into evaluating Level 5 Presentation Mastery speech and this was such a helpful video. I especially like the structure and tip that to stay in third person while evaluating. great job and thank you for doing this.

[@wadepaterson]

You're so welcome! I'm glad the video was helpful for evaluating a Level 5 speech! I really appreciate you taking the time to watch.

Thanks for the amazing insights Wade Paterson.

Hi Wade, from a conversation Wednesday night, I've been invited to GIVE a speech and be evaluated. Wow!

[@wadepaterson]

Good for you! Best of luck!

[@sheriwood6896]

Thank you for sharing these tips!

[@wadepaterson]

You're so welcome, Sheri!

[@digthewarmth]

Thank you for these tips!! I need to share these with my club! No one ever really teaches how to give evaluations, which is sad.

[@wadepaterson]

Sorry I'm late to responding, but I'm glad this video was helpful for you! Hopefully the club benefits from it as well!!

[@surekhanair7607]

Very helpful tips. Thanks for your suggestions

[@wadepaterson]

You're so welcome! I have a newer video on Speech Evaluation Contests that I posted last month on my channel that goes more in-depth if you need more info!

[@augustinesmith1494]

Yes. I'm preparing for my first contest, and it is for Speech Evaluation, I am uncomfortable with giving evaluations or critically reviewing someone else's efforts to succeed.

[@wadepaterson]

Thta's understandable, but remember that your perspective is relevant and can help speakers who you are evaluating. I hope this video gives you some tips and ideas to help you succeed at the contest! Let me know how it goes.

[@newtonmoon]

Thanks for the Video, very helpful. Are the club members supposed to inform new bees on this? Seems like to be thrown into the water not knowing what was to be expected.

[@wadepaterson]

You're welcome! I'm glad it was helpful for you! In my experience, veteran club members will often help out newbies by informing them how speech contest and evaluation contest judging criteria works. But it depends on the club and club members.

[@rosetwaal8766]

Iam preparing for my evaluation contest this weekend and found this so perfect video tips to me👍👏🎉✨wish me a luck!

Thanks for taking the time to watch! You will! The best evaluations are genuine ones that help the speaker understand what he/she did well and where he/she can improve.

Hi there , absolutely brilliant explanation, gained a lot of confidence for my upcoming evaluation contest listening to you, by the way I am from District 120 Chennai - India. Thank you very much. God bless you

@@srikanth8459 so glad this was helpful! Hello from Canada to India! Best of luck in your competition, you’ll do great!

[@RawanaDias]

One question... - in conclusion do we need to remind the examples?

[@wadepaterson]

Good question! I'd say, no. Simply mentioning the things the person did well (for example: Body Language, Vocal Variety, etc) and then the things they need to improve upon is sufficient! Good luck!

[@RawanaDias]

@@wadepaterson Thank You much...

[@wadepaterson]

@@RawanaDias no prob!

[@sanscapes]

Thanks for the tips, is there a way to mute the background music, I find it hard to listen to you.

[@wadepaterson]

You're welcome! Thank you for the feedback! In my newer videos I have removed the background sound because, I agree, it was too distracting!

Hey Wade, Do you have links to your winning evaluations? Thanks mate, good vid.

[@wadepaterson]

Hey Chris! Thanks for the comment. Unfortunately, they weren't recorded at the time; however, this is a good idea to record a future evaluation at my club. Right now we're still doing virtual meetings, but when we get back to in-person I might record one and then break down the method I used after. Cheers!

@@wadepaterson Thanks mate. I just came second in the division evaluation contest yesterday. Still, not a bad result for my first time entering it. cheers for your vid it helped.

So you signed up for your Speech Evaluation Contest with Toastmasters and you're realizing how much money you just wasted that could go to other, far more important things, but you're keeping yourself in a box by looking at videos like this instead of just looking at the free speaking tutorials you can find littering the internet. Why are you here?
