This speech is Humorously Speaking Advanced Project 2 “Leave Them With a Smile”. The title of the speech is “My Chronic Woe” and the objectives are:

• Prepare a serious speech that opens and closes with humorous stories
• Prepare a closing story that reemphasizes the speech’s main point
• Deliver the stories smoothly and effectively

My chronic woe is procrastination. In term of humor, this speech is much better than my previous AP1 speech. I manage to get the audience to laugh or chuckle a little bit. I think there are two reasons. Firstly the speech is much more personal, and second I use exaggeration to enhance to the humor eg “my meticulous wife spot a tiny tiny speck of dirt on our car’s window screen”, “try to apply the toastmaster technique thinking on the feet”. It seems to click much better with the audience.

The contest speaker is Andrew Dlugan. His speech title is “Face the Wind”
