Thanks so much Mark for your inspiration, support, and expert guidance through the principles of Institute for Vocal Advancement and Speech Level Singing.

Technical notes:
Lighting: Key light is a 200W Incandescent bulb with diffusing gel, aimed mid-way between the ceiling and wall in front of me. Other fill lights include halogen track lights and a 60W incandescent bulb in an Ikea light fixture with blue gel.
Camera: Sony RX100 Mk2, ISO 800 F2.8 1/60, manual white balance, portrait mode. Recorded in 60i 1080p and dropped into a 29.97fps (30p) timeline.
Editing: Adobe Premiere Pro CS5.5 on a Windows 7 Dell PC (Intel i7 and USB 3.0 for a faster workflow). Used Pluraleyes to sync the audio and video tracks.
A S-curve was applied in RGB Curves effect to adjust contrast.
Audio: Mics: SM58 for song, Zoom H1 for intro/ending speech. Recorded into a MOTU 8-Pre on a White Macbook.
Audio processed in Logic and Audacity. On vocal track, used High pass filter at 78hz, Compressor, and mild reverb. On synth track, simply reduced the gain for balance.
Synthesizer: Roland Gaia SH-01 with custom Triangle wave patch (to download the patch for free please visit geoffmobile.com/blog/wurlitzer-sound-on-the-roland-gaia-how-to-make-a-classic-wurlitzer-keyboard-patch-by-geoffmobile-2 )
This synth is highly recommended!
Geoff Peters gives a 2 minute impromptu speech (“Table Topics”) to the Vancouver Toastmasters Club 59 speech contest.
The topic was “What is your Favorite Season and Why is it Special to You?”.
The Toastmasters Contest took place at Vancouver Toastmasters Club 59 tmclub59.com
Special thanks to Oxana for being Contest Chair, and for Karen for interviewing me.

More info:
In “Table Topics”, the speaker has the challenge of giving a 1 to 2 minute improvised speech on a topic that they find out right there and then. It’s a great way to practice quick thinking and learn how to deliver a speech on the fly. Normally at a Toastmasters meeting the table topics speakers are given verbal and written feedback / evaluation by an audience member. However, in a Toastmasters contest situation, contestants are judged rather than evaluated, and the winner will go on to compete at the next level (such as the Area contest which is another elimination round between nearby clubs).
Thanks for watching!
Cheers,
Geoff
