Thursday evening Toastmasters!
Unfortunately, I couldn't get my screen recording system working, so I had to film myself via my phone, which doesn't allow audio recording from other devices. Today's table topic was slightly different than before, where there were groups of three people giving a story style speech, building on the previous story told. I got to start and was given the context of "you find your aunt dead in a chair, and you're not sure why" the theme was picked due to Halloween coming up. It was definitely a challenge to come up with a quick beginning of a story on your feet, but I really enjoyed the speech I gave. Unfortunately, I couldn't record the rest of the story performed by other group members, so that you will be left at a bit of a cliff hanger.
I really struggled with putting the story together in a structured way and found myself stuttering while trying to come up with what I was going to say next. I also repeated details several times and wasn't as clear with some of the characters and their roles, or the major position of each person. I think I did pretty decent on emotion, though I could have gone into more backstory. It's a bit slow at first, but I feel intrigue starts building toward the end with the cliff hanger.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated for how I could do better and structure my story better!
