In the basic Communication and Leadership manual there are ten speech projects:
Icebreaker - 4 to 6 minutes - overcoming nervousness by introducing yourself to the club.
Organize Your Speech - 5 to 7 minutes - work on giving a well-organized speech.
Get To The Point - 5 to 7 minutes - continue overcoming nervousness by speaking about something you believe deeply in.
How To Say It - 5 to 7 minutes - work on proper word choice, avoiding jargon and generalizations.
Your Body Speaks - 5 to 7 minutes - not a "Show and Tell" speech, this project calls on you to work with gestures and body language during your speech. Unfortunately, many members somehow confuse the issue and show up with a bag full of props that they use in a "Show and Tell" style speech. Avoid that.
Vocal Variety - 5 to 7 minutes - work on rate of delivery, volume, speed, pitch, emphasis, tone, vitality, and articulation.
Research Your Topic - 5 to 7 minutes - combine your skills and deliver a speech on a topic you've researched using multiple references.
Get Comfortable With Visual Aids - 5 to 7 minutes - practice adding emphasis to your message and adding visual interest and attention by using props purposefully.
Persuade With Power - 5 to 7 minutes - give a persuasive speech on a controversial issue.
Inspire Your Audience - 8 to 10 minutes - The final speech in the manual calls on you to move and inspire your audience in a well-presented and well-prepared speech.
As you can see, all ten projects above are wide-open for you to choose whatever topic you like. Even if you pick a controversial subject, most Toastmasters audiences will evaluate you on how well you presented your subject, not on whether they agreed with you or not.
