A typical Toastmasters meeting goes as follows:

The host of the evening, is the Toastmaster of the Evening. He/she is responsible for the smooth running of the meeting.

• 2-4 members hold prepared speeches. These will range from humorous to thought-provoking, and will address an array of different topics.
• 2-4 other members evaluate these speeches by analyzing the structure of the speech, the manner in which it has been conducted, its message and relevance to the aim of the particular speech. These evaluations are speeches within themselves and are also evaluated by the audience. Traditionally the evaluator will also provide short written feedback on behalve of the speaker.
• Impromptu speeches is a standing item on the agenda. Here, anything between 4 and 10 2-minute speeches can be held by members on various topics related to the topic provided by one of the members. This helps you learn better to deal with being put on the spot, and helps build confidence.
• Ah-counters, timers and grammarians report on those areas which weaken so many speeches. These looming reports encourage us to discipline ourselves that little bit more.
