FAQs

Green doodle underline

Do I have to do a talk on public speaking?

No, there are two types of talks each week. The Practice Talk can be on any topic you like but the Education Talk should be about public speaking.

Some ideas include tips on speech structure, how to use hand movement when speaking, tonality, or it can be a personal story on how you deal with public speaking, whether that’s dealing with nerves, how you prep, anything that has made you a better public speaker

How do I do an evaluation?

We have an evaluation form that lets you know the things to look out for such as structure, tone, deck etiquette and use of filler words. A great way to practice your evaluation is to watch some TED talks and fill out the form.

Do I have to have a role?

No, you can simply attend but if you do want to volunteer for a role, you can do so here.

Which role is best for a nervous speaker?

It depends what your goals are. If you just want to practice talking in front of a group then being a Quickfire Host is perfect but if you have a specific talk that you'd like to get feedback on then taking on the Practice Talk is your best bet.
