工作学习 / 外语学习 / Top reason why I never felt ToastMasters my cup of tea from the bottom of my heart (even though I acted as their 卧底 at rolia from time to time)!It is fake rather than real...fake presentation/discussion to/with pretended audience.
Personally, I like real-world stuff, and learning by doing, in work or life.
So, a presentation that is required at work, a conference call that needs your deep involvement...or, join the condominium resident committee/board of directors, or find some voluntary activities that help build my communication skills.

I cannot speak for the Toastmasters part as I’ve never been to one. But the rest, +1.

I sat in a couple of TM clubs for trial sessions. I am not saying they are totally useless but, to me, racking my brain for a popular story is not enjoyable...at least not for now.Maybe I'll start to enjoy it after some years...who knows.
