Frequently Asked Questions
What is Toastmasters?
Toastmasters International is a global nonprofit organization that helps people become more confident speakers and leaders. Members practise in a supportive club, give prepared speeches, receive friendly feedback and take on meeting roles. Learn more at toastmasters.org.
Who can join? Do I need any experience?
Anyone who wants to improve their communication and leadership skills is welcome. No public speaking experience is needed.
Can I visit a meeting first? Is it free?
Yes. Guests are always welcome and visiting is free. Just sign up for a meeting on our Meeting Information page or write to guest@effective-communicators.com.
What happens at a meeting?
A meeting usually includes two or three prepared speeches, short impromptu speeches called “Table Topics”, and evaluations where members give each other helpful feedback. A friendly host called the Toastmaster of the Day guides everyone through the programme.
Do I have to speak when I visit?
No. As a guest you can simply watch. If you like, you can try a short Table Topic, but it is completely up to you.
How good does my English need to be?
You don’t need perfect English. Many of our members are not native speakers, and practising in a friendly group is a great way to improve.
How do I become a member?
We recommend visiting a meeting first to see if the club fits your goals. When you are ready, our Vice President Membership will guide you through the membership process.
