What an amazing speech, loved the ending, "If you fall, fall forward." You utilized a great command of your stage, improvisational techniques, voice modulation (love the variations of how you said "ouch," even mouthing the word). I am a toastmaster (ACS, ALB), desire to keep on improving at public speaking to get the message across. You are a great model.
Thanks... AMEN!
"go ahead and fall.....but fall forward..."
excellent ! (standing ovation)
in my opinion, the speaker took great risk to fall on the stage
but he did it successfully
not many speaker could do that way he did
How to be funny:
1 - Pay attention to when they laugh and to what caused the laughter.
2 - Ask yourself why do they laugh at it? What makes it funny? Is it the word play, facial expression, intellectual play on ideas, etc.
3 - Now imagine yourself using it.
4 - Learn the art of public speaking.
5 - Combing the humor techniques you've learned in step 3 with step 4.
6 - Practice and customized as pleased.
7 - Pay attention to where you need improvements and actually take action to create the improvement.
you are brilliant ....vulnerable...humble & powerfully presented....
Thanks, I had an amazing coach, Mark Brown
Excellent use of of the podium.....as an obstacle! What a loaded comparison!
Very good explanation of becoming an entrepreneur and taking your life into your own hands. Thanks for sharing!
People that aren't in Toastmasters or don't understand what goes into making a speech like this don't see all the skillset that is demonstrated in this speech. 99.9999999% of the people in this world couldn't come close to this speech and the actual value is probably even closer to 100%.
99 percent would not want to. As a former army commander of troops, he looks like a buffoon to me.
Awesome! Thanks Darren! I speak tonight, and you have been huge in helping me. Also, I feel motivated to take that first step toward things that I keep making excuses not to. Blessings to you my friend
Bravo!!!!! Awesome speech thank you Mr.LaCroix
This is my all time favorite speech. Never gets tired of it
Thank you! Great coaching and hard work usually pays off!
Wow. It's my "dream come true" you replying my comment. 😊 After joining toastmasters, it was the first speech I watched and I remember thinking I wanna become a speaker like him. Although that day is yet to come.
Wow... thank you, Annie!
Always keep your intention on your audience as I learned from Mark Brown, My Coach
Darren LaCroix Thank you. I'll keep it in my mind. Always.
thanks for such an amazing speech
Having a great coach helped a ton!
OMG, I give it a like even before i finish watching the video. cant stop clapping my hands! Thank youuuu
this gave me so much motivation! Now all i need is to go ahead and fall... FORWARD XD
Great speech, highly inspirational talk with much humorous content. Take the next step and if we fall, we fall forward and still make progress
You're amazing Darren
great techniques displayed here, the use of the lectern as the obstacle, actually falling on his face, showing how even when you fall on your face your still moving forward, great voice changes to add humour and engagement. So many things being utilized that have been Learned through experience and practice.
Loved it! Thank you for taking the 'next step', you are helping many others do the same.
Excellent!!! Don't pay attention to the negative comments. Haters do what they do best, (hate).
Touching of his speech.
absolutely loving his speech. It inspire me so much!!!
Your amazing ! What a wonderful speech ! I'm going to copy this for my toastmasters speech !
"I died debt free!"
Amen
I was and can relate. thank you. Im back with Toadtmasters and working on my advanced Communicator. Bug I too want to be a speaker.
Bravo!!!!
how fun and informative! When you kept asking what is our next step forward I kept hearing this voice in my head saying, " Go to live in Paris for 3 months" I have no idea why, but this is the message I kept getting. Maybe it is time to just get up and do this since it is something I have been dreaming about for years :) Nice Speech Man!
So did you ever go to Paris?
Thank you, for I have fallen and never gave up and till standing. This is very inspiring.
Keep doing what you are doing, the Lord is watching over you.
great speech. Truly enjoy it.
Awesome!..a big THUMBS UP!..I as an aspiring speaker, hope to be like you in the NEAR FUTURE!..Wooh! your jokes hit me..not only it make my face stretch to make a Smile but it also stretches my Heart so wide!..Your Such an Inspiring Person to know and work with..(IN the NEAR FUTURE)!..
God Bless!^_^
Thank you! Bless you back!
It is great to see a master speaker in action! Simply loved it!
This reminded me of Steve Jobs - When he was asked to leave (???) Apple, he fell forward and founded a new software company called "NEXT," the base language for most of today's computers graphical displays. A few years later he was back at Apple doing his genius stuff. Thanks! Phil Ponder, DTM
SO COOL!
I love it:) Great speech...
I’m just really curiosa on if he wrote that out and
memorized every work, or if he semi memorized every word and adapted his speech
as he went. If he didn’t do the latter,
how many times did it take him to practice his speech to memorize it that way?
My issue is that when I outline speeches and present them organically, they
come out amazing because I am naturally speaking to the audience. However, when I memorize speeches, it significantly
impacts the quality of my work. Even if it is complex or simple information I am
memorizing.
You're likely at the beginner level of speech craft. As you get better, your "acting" skills evolve too, to the point you're able to make a prepared speech come across as spontaneous and improvised. I know professional lawyers and negotiators who have mastered this skill in the court- and board-room. Hope this helps.
i persoanlly never memorize my speeches..i cud memorize quotes though & specfically whose quote it is...natural is powerful...having a sort of a format outline really helps though
Whoohoo! Go Darren!!!
Yes, the linking in the message is better. Apart from the extra coaching, was that possible because you didn't have the same time constraints as in the competition?
I really like that I can now share the Ouch with a pile of ppl! Thanks for uploading it!
Liked the msg but specially the humour in your speech.... I find it a bit difficult to add humour... :)
You are awesome! loved it from start to finish :-) thank you warmly!
Thank You Thank You Thank You!
I'm currently making progress One Ouch at a time
this is just an amazing speech with the full use of facial expression, body gesture and vocal variety. message very clear and inspiring with humor as the side dish. Great job !
(I am a toastmaster from HK btw !)
HAVE FUN TM ing :D
just WOW!
no wonder he is the Toastmaster Champion.
Your a great example thank you.
Darren, you are very well poised. I live in Las Vegas and would like to meet you. Are you still there?
Got to see him in person. :D
Simply love it :)
loved it!!!
very good motivation
Loved it! So funny!
The only word I can think of is 'wow!'
Show us some proof of that competition you've entered.
Sorry you feel the need for proof, but I get it. So much BS out there. You can easily google it. Started in 1938. Past champs are listed at the bottom of this page:

@@StageTime thank you .
@@toyerdavids1993 You are welcome. The original Championship speech is on youtube too. Just search: Darren LaCroix Winning Speech
Pretty good my dear
i didnt even smile
Cowboys coming in last in NFC East this year haha!
unnatural speech intonations; childish. comedians still are the best speakers
Edward Schneider Your point?
Edward Schneider It seemed inspiring to me
good speech, but the moves where too theatrical?
He is a comedian, not a speaker for U.N.
This is cringeworthy, too over the top, not funny just plain goofy. Cheesy. Awful. I'd be willing to give a public speaker slack due to nerves, inexperience etc but this guy is supposed to be like some world renowned public speaker winning all these competitions, from this video I can't see why.
hes bald and boring. Build a company that's impressive. Can get talk drama from Osteen, TD Jakes, Hulk Hogan
I agree with the boring part, but what does bald have to do with it? Gorbachev is bald and a great, brilliant statesman, who achieved more than you ever will. Hair has nothing to do with it. If you are that shallow and fooled by the cosmetic in life, you are lost and limited.
