Speak movie

Lashunda Rundles (l.) becomes the World Champion of Public Speaking as seen in Speak.

The 2011 documentary film Speak explores the fear of public speaking and chronicles the experiences of six individuals as they compete in the Toastmasters World Championship of Public Speaking.

Over a nearly two-year period, first-time feature filmmakers Paul Galichia and Brian Weidling conducted hundreds of interviews about public speaking and its accompanying anxiety, while also capturing the goings-on at the highly competitive World Championship of Public Speaking in Calgary, Alberta. The competition (and movie) culminates in one person being crowned “World Champion of Public Speaking.”

Speak has been exhibited around the world over the past year at screenings hosted by various Toastmaster International clubs. The movie opened for a week-long run in theaters in New York and Los Angeles on Aug. 17, 2012.

Bonus materials on the DVD include 20-plus minutes of extra footage and speeches from two of the finalists in the competition.
