Yes absolutely. Toastmasters is awesome and totally worth it. It will help you get over the fear of public speaking, practice actual speech in front of people and build the confidence you need.

I have been to a few Toastmasters with different groups. I really enjoy it. The people are all pretty positive and friendly. It helped me with my networking and with public speaking. What area are you looking?

I went to toastmasters once. It's weird but I actually enjoy public speaking. People in my class used to love when I gave a speech but never did I hate public speaking more than when I went to toastmasters.

Maybe it's just me.
