MAIC** Toastmaster Club level Speech contest

Went to MAIC** Toastmaster Club level Speech contest last Thursday. V is the winner. He's a well-balanced speaker, all the while. He had a freindly voice, smooth gestures and convincing deliverance. Cannot find out his weakness yet. He deserve to be the club's champion.

J* delivered a strong message. I belive she can deliver a message well with her personality. She has a tough and strong personality, and she definitely making use of that, her personality definitely give her the extra punch. Can see her holding her fist while delivering! In my own opinion, one weakness I found from her is she tend to only gestures more to her left.
She is addressing more to the left. I belive she should spread her 'gestures' to the entire room. Her choice of words are a bit technical.

Y* is a down to earth speaker. Just listen to him is like listen to some light-and-easy radio station music. I feel like I am lying on the Sofa all the while listening to Barry Manilow, the Carpenters. Serenading us the whole evening... Need to add some punch if he is want to do a persuasive speech. But still depends on what kind of audience you are addressing. I am not sure if he is delivering to some stubborn people like me, can I be convinced? Maybe stubborn people need to shout into their head to get the message across.

The last girl [ sorry! forgot her name :) ] has a very good sense of humour! I need learn from you on how to smile while giving speeches. You are the kind of person can cheer people up, bring laughter to the world. The one thing are find out about you, your weakness is she put too many stories into the speech. It's great to have stories, but I think is too much for a 5-7 min speech. Perhaps you should just make all the stories more in-depth. More 'Deep'.
