Would you like to see talks by Toastmasters from other clubs?
Then Toastmaster Time is for you! TmT is the television program produced by members of Toastmasters International clubs in District 57, Alameda County, California for broadcast on community access channels. TmT presents talks by Toastmasters from District 57, from Icebreakers to Advanced talks.
The Mission of TmT is to give District 57 Toastmaster members the opportunity to learn new skills by presenting on television, and to show examples of all levels of speaking skills to our members.
Presenting on TmT gives you, the Toastmaster a unique opportunity to try something new as a challenge, and to have the chance to see yourself as others see you -- how often do you get the chance to evaluate yourself? Speaking on TmT gives you that chance!
Our shows are broadcast every Tuesday evening on Comcast Cable Channel 29 at 7:00 p.m. in the Fremont/ Newark/Union City area in California, and also available here on the Toastmaster Time website. Did you miss the last show? Or maybe you don't have access to the show on cable?
No problem! You can see recent shows right here on our website!
How Can Being on Toastmaster Time Help Me?
Speaking to the camera is a great way to see yourself as others do, to be your own evaluator, and to help you take your skills to the next level! See what other Toastmasters are saying about their TmT experience here.
What Can You Present On Toastmaster Time Television?
Almost any Toastmaster manual project is OK, subject to time constraints. A six minute length is ideal for most shows, but other types of talks and projects can be done with prior arrangement.

Yay! I'm Going to Be on TV! What Else Do I Need to Know?
Television cameras see the world a bit different than we do. They don't much like white or bright red clothing, shiny objects, small checked fabric, or narrow stripes, so avoid them, or you will look funny :-(.
