'Songs in the Key of T'
(Hum: Toastmasters)

Brian Cavanaugh, ATM, is District 3's winningest speech contestant. During his 13 year Toastmaster membership in Phoenix, he has advanced to the District level for eight contest events and won First Place six times.

At the 1996 Fall Conference Brian was once again a contestant. This audio recording is a brief 1 min. 20 sec. sample of his contest speech "Songs in the Key of T."

Brian's communication quest for the past year or so, he says, has been to capture an understanding of how to add the emotional empathy engendered by the rhythm of music to public speaking. The speech "Songs in the Key of T" (actually adding music to a speech) was one avenue he explored in this continuing journey of improvement towards effectively communicating a message to an audience.
