[@anwaralibhai7829]

Absolutely amazing speech mathew, captivated from the get go, definitely expecting more like this, well done

[@mikuhatsunesleek5952]

English teacher showcased this as an example in class. Fantastic performance!

[@vocalizeyourvision5470]

I'm glad you enjoyed it!

[@SuperPEman]

Love your speech! Humorous speeches are super hard to deliver. Every time I do that, I get scared by the fact that I might fail to make my audience laugh.

[@vocalizeyourvision5470]

Thank you! Agreed, humour can be tricky. Always helps to try out your content on a smaller sample audience before using it on the main audience, to help avoid the scenario you mentioned. Nonetheless I watched your speech and I think you're doing fine!

[@SuperPEman]

@@vocalizeyourvision5470 Right, but at times it doesn't even depend on the number of the audience, but the type of it. Gotta keep practicing it to win all types of audience though haha Thanks for watching it and please write some feedback when you have time. Any harsh comment will be also appreciated!

Men make the mistake, and mistake makes the man; a little bit cliche but Mathew did make a blow with humorous stories, attracting us by joking and wonderfully illustrating. Thanks for share!

[@TheWarrensheng]

Humorous but also serious. (A bit like me.) Thank you for sharing this. Too bad the light was so strong behind you, so I couldn't see your face that clearly. I guess that was a mistake : )

[@vocalizeyourvision5470]

Hi there. Yes, the bright background wasn't anticipated, so we didn't arrange for additional lighting. Best we could do was shift the camera to the side of the stage. Thanks for the feedback!

[@snk949]

@@charlesekpe That's all you humans ever have, excuses. You steal one another's ideas, you mistreat one another. There really is no purpose to Earth existing in the universe.

[@stubbledspace3982]

Amazing speech and congrats. And do you have any tips on humour and how to implement it into speeches ?

[@vocalizeyourvision5470]

Thank you! The elements of surprise and exaggeration work well. Some stories from your past are inherently funny, you just need to tell them well. Build up the suspense/ momentum and deliver the punchline well, with a slight pause before and after. These are just tidbits of course

[@stubbledspace3982]

@@vocalizeyourvision5470 Thank you. I'll be sure to practice :)

[@samarthagarwal7529]

It deserved first place, but as a young and curious toastmaster, should you be walking the entire time?

[@vocalizeyourvision5470]

Absolutely not. Movements across the space should be more purposeful and congruent with the message, as opposed to pacing back and forth as I occasionally did here (unknowingly). Thanks for the feedback

[@samarthagarwal7529]

Thank you so much

[@Spexxy19]

Good speech with funny, relatable humour. The speaker seems to borrow from Dananjaya Hettiarachchi - [ask audience question about relatable situation], "take it, add this number to it, and you get me."
