December 8, 2022 @ 6:00 pm - 7:15 pm
Title:
Blarney! Tall Tales Tips from Three Wild Irishmen and a Lovely Lass to Keep Them in Czech
Description:
This workshop focuses on the keys to effective tall tales: Imagination, Exaggeration, Vocalization, and Visualization. District champions and Distinguished Toastmasters Brendan Murphy, Declan Shalvey, Jana Lannen, and Dennis Dawson will talk about the skills they use to capture and delight their audience with tales of hyperbolic improbability, then let audience members try it themselves. If you don’t walk out of the workshop a consummate purveyor of pure preposterous pabulum, you will have the skills to convince everyone you do.
