Yes getting good speakers would help!
If you have a person who doesn't speak loudly, clearly and with emphasism things can get quite boring! and please no robotic voices!!!!!!
A person Mumbling the words or speaking in a flat tone for a long time is soooooooooooooooooooo boring!
Honestly yes get women to prepare the meetings women like me! I'll add a bit of interest like movies (related to the topic of speech) slide shows! music! looots of music!!!!! oh and a lot of plays and drama! even live bands!!! yay! Maybe even poetry or mini activities! ya know add a bit more lively energy to it all! and an Intuishin (arr can't spell!) ya know a break half way through the meeting so people can get some fresh air and stretch their legs (it would really benefit the children) give them something to look forward to!
