"So, what an honor; you have been designated to do the toast. Hi, I'm Hazely Lopez, director of Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling, and I'm here to talk to you about how to propose a toast. First of all, you want to make sure that before you arrive to the event you know what you're going to talk about. We don't want to make a fool of ourselves, and the best way to do that is maybe write it down. Also, look information in regards to what the event is and maybe what you want to talk about. If it's a wedding you may talk about the couple. If it's a birthday or any other type of event then you go ahead and make a story or a special comment in regards to that special event. Always, the most important part is to stay with the tone. If it's a wedding you want to stay with a sentimental tone, and also, other events may go with other appropriate tones. Always make sure that you hold up your glass up high, and once you're ending that toast you may just say cheers to the couple, cheers to the birthday girl or man, and just anything you want to do. It's completely up to you. Always make sure you're confident, keeping it short and straight to the point. I'm Hazely Lopez, director of Hazely Academy of Refinement and Modeling, and I wish you all the success, cheers!"
