Meeting Opening:
Thank you, Presiding officer. “Fellow Toastmasters and dear guests. It is my privilege
and pleasure to welcome you all to the Healer’s Toastmaster’s club. . I am Anjana
Maharjan and I would be the toastmasters of this evening.
For the benefit of the guests, I
would like to explain the structure of the meeting. The meeting is divided into
three rounds. The first is The Prepared Speech Round where members will be
delivering speeches based on the projects and paths that they have chosen. The
second part of the session is The Table Topics Round, where members can
practice thinking and speaking on their feet. This round is also known as the
Impromptu Speech section. Guests are welcome to participate in this round as
well. The third and final part is The Evaluation Round in which all the prepared
speeches as well as other aspects of the session will be evaluated by the General
Evaluator and his / her team.”
Prepared Speaker’s introduction:

“The first speaker for this round will be attempting Level _____ Project ______ from the
____ Path. To evaluate this speech, we have Toastmaster Lee. Lee, I request you to
please read out the speech objectives. (Allow the evaluator to read out the speech
objectives). (Add a few lines of introduction for the speaker before calling him out).

speaker to walk up to the stage. Shake his/her hand and announce the speaker’s name
and speech title). (After the first speech is over, go back onto the stage to introduce the
next speaker)
Prepared Speech introduction example:
An example script for the introduction of a speaker could be as stated below. Let’s assume the
theme of the day is ‘The Art of Saying No’:
“The first speaker for this round will be attempting Level 1 Project 3 from the ‘Persuasive
Influence’ Path. To evaluate this speech, we have Toastmaster Lee. Lee, I request you to
please read out the speech objectives. (Allow the evaluator to read out the speech
objectives). The first speaker has been a Toastmaster for the past 2 years. I’ve personally
seen him deliver several speeches on this very stage and he has grown tremendously as
a speaker in his 2 year journey! He is currently a marketing professional and dreams of
one day opening his own marketing consultancy firm. When I asked the speaker his
thoughts on the ‘Art of Saying No’, he said that saying no has sometimes been one of the
hardest things he has to do but it’s always been worth it. Please put your hands together
for the very charming and ever-smiling member, Toastmaster John! (Allow the speaker
to walk up to the stage. Shake his/her hand and announce the speaker’s name and
speech title). John – One in a Million. One in a Million – John.”
Table Topics Master introduction:

“To provide us with the challenge for today’s Table Topics round, we have the Table
Topics Master who will be conducting the session today. (Add a few lines of introduction
for the TTM before calling him out). Please help me in welcoming, the Table Topic
Master for the day, Toastmaster Mohammed!”
General Evaluator introduction:

“The next part of our meeting is an important round of a Toastmaster's Meeting. In this
round, constructive feedback is given to each speaker as well as to the overall meeting
conduct so that members can benefit from the experience of evaluators and become
better speakers. For this, we have the General Evaluator to conduct the session. (Add a
few lines of introduction for the GE before calling her out). I would now like to hand over
the session to General Evaluator of the day, Toastmaster Susan.”
. The Second speaker for this round will be attempting
Level _____ Project ______ from the ____ Path. [repeat the same process for all
the prepared speeches]”
