Complete or pause an attempt, then choose “Save run & reset.”
Presentation Mastery
The public project description asks for an eighteen-to-twenty-two-minute keynote-style speech that exemplifies the point of view or message the member would convey as a professional-level speaker. Visual aids are optional when they fit the message and delivery style.
The project description also discusses advance approval for presenting to a non-Toastmasters group. Check the current assignment before arranging any outside delivery.
Engaging Humor
The public description assigns an eighteen-to-twenty-two-minute keynote-style humorous speech. Humor has to carry a message rather than fill time, so rehearse both the laugh-dependent pauses and the throughline that should remain clear even when audience response varies.
This is a Pathways project, not the Toastmasters Humorous Speech Contest. Contest timing and eligibility rules belong to the current rulebook and a contest-specific timer.
Longer does not mean unlimited
State what the audience should understand, feel, or be ready to do by the end.
Keep a story, example, distinction, or visual only when it advances that contract.
Include pauses, audience response, slide changes, movement, and the intended final silence.
When a run exceeds 22:00, remove repeated proof or a secondary branch before speeding up.
Three honest passes
Project and timing boundaries
Toastmasters’ public project descriptions name Prepare to Speak Professionally in Presentation Mastery and Deliver Your Message with Humor in Engaging Humor as 18–22-minute keynote-style assignments.
No. Level 5 contains multiple projects and activities with different requirements. Use this setup only for one of the named 18–22-minute assignments or when your current project instructions specify the same timing.
This tool places amber at 20:00 because it is the mathematical midpoint of 18:00 and 22:00. SpeechTimer presents it as an independent editing cue, not as an official project requirement.
No. This page serves named Toastmasters Pathways assignments. An organizer-assigned conference keynote follows the event brief and belongs on the separate Keynote Speech Timer.
Protect the central message and final landing. Remove repeated proof, a secondary story, or unnecessary setup before compressing every sentence. Then run the complete delivery again with normal pauses and any visual aids.
No. It does not ask for a member name, club, enrolled path, topic, message, jokes, script, visual aids, evaluation, audio, or recording. The optional timing log stays in the current tab.
