The Competent Communicator and Competent Leader Manuals, and the 15 Advanced Speech Manuals have a wide variety of speaking tips and hints to help you in your public speaking activities. These range from how to use your voice, body language and gestures, organising your speech, using words and visual aids effectively and how to persuade, inspire, and inform your audience.Evaluation guides are included with each speaking assignment for your evaluator. These are completed during and immediately after you deliver a speech, and form the basis of the oral evaluation given by your evaluator at the club meeting. The evaluations also become a rich resource of ideas and suggestions about what you could do better or differently when you give your next speech, or a similar type of speech in the future. The Programmes page on the Toastmasters New Zealand website has a detailed explanation of the contents of these manuals.
