      @Ken Able So the competition MUST be at a podium where they are completely motionless. According to who? The art of communicating with a large group of human beings would include all those things. I think it's much more likely that you just aren't good at some or all of those things, and it upsets you.

So cool that he didn't let himself get in the way of his life changing message that epitomizes the unwritten 'mission' of Toastmasters International: 'Seek To Bless, Not Impress.' Whoa! Congrats!!

      @@MinhQuan-jj2dx- you ask this over and over, in the comments. Did you try writing out a transcript of this or any other winning speech? Of course it needs to be a piece that reads well. There has to be a good structure to the parts, and a “through-line” or idea that carries all the way through. Add to a “good script” with strong nonverbal communication- like expressive gestures, or exciting body language, or even the use of physical props, as well as vocal dynamics like creating beats through inflection, changes in pitch, speed, and timing, use of pauses. All speeches, stories, performances OR scripts, need to start with writing which is worth reading.
