'Iran's Puppeteer' Extemporaneous Speech

[CoopaTheTroopa]

I'm sorry, but this speech league can NEVER compare to the NFL. :(

[parisianbutterfy333]

@CoopaTheTroopa What?! I've debated in both, and I like NCFCA so much better. It actually teaches speaking skills, instead of speed reading.

[AwesomlyMe]

If I could give one successful extemp speech at a regional tournament, I'd probably be satisfied for life haha.

This speech was good!

[CoopaTheTroopa]

@AwesomlyMe Lies!!!!

[CrabAppleZz]

You are good at extempt. I am just starting it for the first time.... Any tips?

[RafikiGurl123]

dude....you rock....

[CoCosweetieR]

My state requires a notecard also....I thought that this was a good speech. He knows what he is talking about and sources often and correctly.

Could try being a bit more confident though...even if your not with your topic just BS it ;)

[parisianbutterfy333]

Not bad, but it was distracting each time you butched Ahmedinejad's name, you might try working on pronouncing his name :)

[mrconceeded]

@parisianbutterfy333 I think my emphasis is a little off, but it's certainly not a butchering. There are some great pronunciation guides online that you might find helpful. :)

@parisianbutterfy333 Who cares? That's not the important part.

[parisianbutterfy333]

@getinrdone76 No, but generally it takes away from the overall appearance, intelligence, and credibility of the speech :) but hey, we've all murdered pronunciations at one point in time or another during rounds or speeches!

[TheWelling34]

while he is depended on his notes, he does integrate his intro into his speech through his speech. which is very important.

[dookdillard]

my coach would kill me if i used notes

[mrconceeded]

@dookdillard Yeah, the notecard isn't optimal. Different league, different rules though. They want the card for accountability in sources. *shrug*

[thekidwithdog]

wait was this the rocky mountain high school meet

[BrainBoy42]

Intro is obviously canned and the the notecard just kills the spech

[mtgymnastanddancer]

mrconceeded, are you josh or a friend?

[mrconceeded]

Yeah that would've helped a lot.... :)

[lydiamay91]

Pretty good speech... he should maybe get rid of the notecard, though

[stealingice]

he looks confident..i have to give one today
