A Head Start
I joined a Toastmasters group a few weeks ago, and now I'm meant to present my first speech.
It has to be 4-6 minutes long, and reveal an aspect of your personality in the process. Listeners are meant to feel like they have gotten to know you, a little, by the end.

I've just recorded myself reading my speech through entirely for the first time, in order to practise. You can listen to it here:

I've also provided a transcript in case my accent or enunciation leaves something to be desired;
I perform it tomorrow night! Time for the training montage.
