We are an advanced speaking club that concentrates on developing professional-grade public speakers.
To accomplish this, we focus on feedback — LOTS OF IT!
Our speakers get evaluated by six members, instead of the normal single evaluator in most clubs.
When We Meet
MSA meets once a month
on the third Saturday from 1:30 – 3:30 PM at
5280 Burger Bar
7032 Wood Hollow Drive
Austin, TX 78731
Who We Are
Master Speakers of Austin (MSA) focuses on preparing advanced speakers for a professional speaking career or other, related pursuits. In addition to being speakers and leaders, our members are coaches, writers, poets, singers, actors, and comedians. We all encourage one another to achieve his or her own dreams.
Why choose MSA?
The primary vehicle that MSA employs to help its members achieve their dreams is feedback — and lots of it! Our evaluations dig deeper than those found in other speaking organizations. Each speaker is given six evaluations, two each on content, delivery, and impact.
Most of our members are award-winning Toastmasters – past and present. Some of our members choose to compete in Toastmasters contests and we support them throughout the process.
Criteria for Joining
Prospective members for MSA should be motivated toward excellence (but not perfection!) and professionalism in their speaking endeavors. Essential characteristics for joining MSA are being growth-oriented and willing to do whatever it takes, even when it might be uncomfortable. We give much to our members, but we also expect a high level of commitment to the club and to support the growth of other club members.
