More than a Table Topics Generator.

Ran­dom­iza­tion

Most topics are being gen­er­ated with random para­me­ters. This lowers the pos­si­bility that you get a topic twice.

Tags

Need an inspi­ra­tion for the con­tent of your speech? Gen­erate up to three random tags for each speech and form your story quickly.

Your impromptu speeches trainer.

You only get better at impromptu speeches by speaking impromptu. Even though Toast­mas­ters clubs offer a great oppor­tu­nity to do so in front of a real audi­ence, the inter­vals between your speeches might be very long. Prac­tising for your­self at home is a good alter­na­tive to get more com­fort­able at spon­ta­neous storytelling.

STAGE TOPICS helps you to master impromptu speeches. A couple of min­utes each day will make you shine at your next club meeting!

No wor­ries, I won’t tell anyone that you used STAGE TOPICS.

From speakers for speakers.

STAGE TOPICS is being devel­oped by public speaking enthu­si­asts for those who are as well or want to be. The topics range from a wide variety of dif­fi­cul­ties and offer a chal­lenge for both, public speaking starters and old rab­bits (this term might only work in German) alike.

To the Stage? This way!

You raise from your chair and walk slowly towards the stage.

Everyone starts to cheer. They are calling your name. Adren­alin starts to kick in.

You walk on stage. The Table Topics mod­er­ator smiles at you and reaches you the hand. You both shake hands.

You turn around towards your audi­ence. All eyes are on you. You are excited. Everyone wants to know what topic you are being given. Espe­cially you.

The silence is broken by the words of the moderator.

Wow, what a session!

You may just write “Good” or “Bad”, but I would be jumping in cir­cles if you give me a little more than that 🙂

Fre­quently Asked Questions

What are the time limits?
  • Every speech starts with a 5 sec­onds deep breath.
  • This is fol­lowed by the reading with 8 sec­onds.
  • After that comes a 30 sec­onds thinking time. You can skip the thinking phase by clicking on the timer. But keep in mind that these 30 sec­onds are valu­able extra time and usu­ally con­tribute to a better speech.
  • The stage turns dark. The spot­light is now on you. It’s give us your speech. You may speak up to 2 min­utes and 30 sec­onds. After that, you are offi­cially disqualified.
  • The last 30 sec­onds are over­time. You should come to an end as soon as possible.

In a con­test sce­nario, you would not only be dis­qual­i­fied when you speak for more than 2 min­utes and 30 sec­onds, but also if you finish your speech in less than a minute. Did I just write con­test sce­nario? I mean STAGE TOPICS as well.

What are Tags?

Tags aren’t part of Table Topics, and many speakers hear about them for the very first time. A Tag is a word/term/object that should help you to wrap your story around.

The topics them­selves are just a frame for your story. The con­tent is up to you. But that often leaves you with thou­sands of dif­ferent pos­si­bil­i­ties. A Tag is helping you to get the ball rolling.

For every speech, you can gen­erate up to three Tags. Did a par­tic­ular Tag helped you greatly forming an idea, write it down and use it for your next per­for­mance on a real stage.

Can I switch to another language?

Sure, STAGE TOPICS is cur­rently avail­able in Eng­lish and German. Addi­tional lan­guages are cur­rently not on the roadmap, unless there is a high demand for it. If you would like to sup­port by helping to trans­late STAGE TOPICS in another lan­guage, please con­tact me via info@presentailor.com.

Will Stage Topics stay free?

Let me put it like that: all fea­tures that are born free stay free. Aren’t this great news? 🙂

Coward! You really want to leave?
