District F Championship Round - Part 1 of 6

Sorry it took awhile to put out the final posts for this blog. I had to wait on the other winners and the target speaker for their thoughts.



Here is the breakdown of the final 6 posts of this blog:



Part One: Background Information and the Target Speech

Part Two: Video of 3rd Place Evaluation

Part Three: Video of 2nd Place Evaluation

Part Four: Mental preparation of top 3 finishers

Part Five: Thoughts of the target speaker, Philippa Burgess

Part Six: Final Thoughts



The District F Speech Evaluation Contest had 8 contestants, each representing a different Division within the District. District F covers all of Orange County and the southern half of LA County.



The target speaker was Philippa Burgess, a member of Warner Brothers Toastmasters, in District 52.



The winners for the contest are Julie Tang, 1st place, myself 2nd place and Barbara Giordano took 3rd.



The target speech was titled "The Power of the Teleseminar" and was from 5 to 7 minutes. In her speech, Philippa used a movie clapboard as a prop to introduce herself as a member of Warner Brothers Toastmasters. She also used a phone as another prop.
