Has anyone ever joined this club? Does it help one become more articulate? I'm not really afraid of public speaking ( 7 out of 10 comfort) but I'd like to be more articulate.
Basically sound smarter. Like your average Getbigger.
Will this help?

I have known A LOT of people who have done Toastmasters and have absolutely loved it. They say it really improved their public speaking.

Thanks!
Did you by chance notice a difference in the way they spoke?

Public speaking is easy. I have done it a lot. Here are the rules:
1) Your audience is a bunch of retards so you can say whatever you want.
2) Never make jokes thinking they are going to work. Simply tell "funny" stories. They'll decide to laugh
3) Don't talk too long.

Yup. It makes a huge difference in reducing anxiety and increasing confidence.
You know when people get anxious during public speaking, there is a lot of hesitancy in their speech. Well, after Toastmasters, they experienced reduced anxiety and more confidence in their speaking abilities.

And most people are not even paying attention to the speaker.

I have. I went through the entire program.

Would you mind elaborating?
Again....I just want to be articulate. Almost have the ability to be more quick witted if possible.
I'm not scared to public speak....I sound somewhat like a simpleton when I do though.

I speak quite a bit and everyday to my team (about 115). I don't try to be anyone else other than me when I speak and yes, when I do speak at seminars, parent and student assemblies, other coaches, banquets etc. I am articulate but I'm no Shakespeare. I try to inject some humor, personal stories (related to the topic) and just keep it "real". I actually enjoy it.

You might as well try it out and see what happens.

It's worth it if you are pensive about public speaking . To be more articulate get a thesorous.

I don't speak in public, never have, never will...
The mere thought if it makes be brake off a xanax bar and pop it...
;)

No need for Toastmasters, following Vince G on Youtube made me a great public speaker

I am currently going through TM at work, it is a great program and I get a free lunch every Tuesday :)
I also have no problem talking in front of crowds but TM will help you clean up your talking and using filler words like So, Um, Ya Know etc etc. I'm on my 6th speech and plan on going all the way thru to the top. Before I got hurt I was signed up to do a speaking contest but withdrew with going off work for surgery.
Check it out definitely worth your time

Good for you. I personally find you to be one of the worst posters here. Sadly, you also seem to be one of the guys that posts the most as well.
Not a good combination. :-\

I've been asked to join Toastmasters for 10 years now by coworkers.
They tell me, "You're so good in meetings you'd be great at Toastmasters!"
Begs the question for me: If I'm already good at public speaking and Toastmasters develops public speaking skills do I really need Toastmasters?
I got weights that need lifting and a gorgeous muscle body to build!!

Which is why I accept your compliment.

Reading well written novels seems to help. I have a few friends who read A LOT and they are extremely articulate and well spoken. They also write very well, but are not comfortable with public speaking.

Judging by your recent pics, you need to put down the toast.

Are you talking about accent reduction/elimination? There is a saying that is out of fashion right now..."If you can tell where you are from, or show your economically deprived upbringing by the way you sound, you are doing it wrong!"
I got rid of my Texas accent by parroting. First by parroting national news anchors when I was a preteen....Then I discovered the record shown...I have never met or communicated with Peter Ustinov...but he was defacto my most influential speech teacher.
The record is a monologue routine written around four songs from a chamber opera called "The Impresario". (If you think, "I don't like classical music", I can't help you, I am relating how I did it.) It's around 40 minutes of a speech relating a comedy story that is rather dry if you don't like this sort of thing. (But I did like it so it was easy for me.) It is full of sentences and phrases that I would repeat until it sounded natural.
The goal is not to try to sound british, but "transatlantic". What you want is this:
1:17 onward...
As far as vocabulary, I am lopping over with Aspergers, that was natural for me. I would visit the public library. I would read scientific material. If you say "I don't like science..." I can't help you there, just telling you how I did it.
You must say it aloud when you are doing this. Say the sentences and phrases over and over.
Again, you shouldn't go too far and sound too "flowery". You should not strive to sound british...Nor should you go for the prewar sound either.
Ripe and lowhanging...eh?

OK, so I am taking a short break from writing what I think is a unique reading of Kant's Critique of Pure Reason to acknowledge Sync Pulse's interesting contribution to this thread.
Ustinov rocks. If you sound anything like him, you're a god (I'm kind of one, too ;D)*
P.S. I have always admired the timbre of Timothy Dalton's voice -- as well as the resonant manifestations of fecund minds blended so well by Jonathan Miller and Stephen Fry.
Thanks, SP!

I got mixed up and wound up copying Peter Lorre.

I'd like to speak like you write.
I'm going to give toastmasters a try. I have nothing to lose.
