TNTalkers Clarksville Toastmasters Club

Check out https://yoodli.ai/. It is a speech coach.

You get a free membership when you join Toastmasters. (It's only $20 joining fee plus $11.50/month.)

A well-crafted introduction enhances a presentation by providing the following:

Smooth transition – When members of your club or audience get up to speak, they are about to take on a new role. An introduction defines that role and prepares the audience for a shift from previous activities by refocusing their interest.

Proper mindset – Audience members are more likely to appreciate a speech if they are given some background information about the speaker and the topic to be discussed. A skillful introduction can do this as well as set a desired mood or tone.

Speaker authority – A good introduction helps establish the speaker’s expertise or background in the subject. If the topic is education, for example, the introduction should inform us if the speaker has three school-aged children or is a member of the local school board.
