[11:18] The 'Ice Breaker,' Project 1 of the Competent Communication manual, might take the award for the most-feared speech however it helps to know every Toastmaster goes through it. With the support from your fellow Toastmasters, the Ice Breaker can be an exciting and wonderful experience. Richard Stanley takes us through his roller coaster ride of emotions when he presented the first few speeches as a Toastmaster.
Thank you for the podcast, I thought it was just me. I could relate to everything said.

Hi There That Podcast of Toastmasters is cool. You guys have come along way since I was a kid going to those toastmasters meetings eating breakfast listening to peoples speeches. Thanks to those times what I got out of those toastmasters going with my mom is later in life I was always poised in speeches, rarely nervous, and it may have helped me make my free throws in high school. If we only had computers and podcasts in 1981. That's cool, I ll keep on tuning into the toastmasters podcasts, and thanks for twittering me up. James from OC
Thoroughly enjoyed listening. I agree with Richard, and I tell my club members or others that you don't really have to go out of your way to try and impress people. Just be yourself, behave as if you are answering questions (that are silent) and tell everyone as much as you want to share/reveal in the first speech, all about yourself. Frankly, I believe, when preparing your ice-breaker you would have 'gathered' / thought of almost every bit of information which you will require in all the 10 assignments. You can tell your complete story in the 10 assignments!I have delivered my ice breaker more then 20 times (since I joined in 1993). Whenever there was a need for a demo, I was asked to deliver my ice breaker, one reason being I am different from everyone around me. We all are different from each other, but I just happen to be from a race (Sindhi) that's not represented so widely in Toastmasters in this part of the world (Malaysia).
