extemp/impromptu - make sure to have 3 (2-3 is alright for impromptu) distinct points with evidence, dont rush through your words, emphasize effects/whats important! give a catchy AGD and vehicle that can be tied back to throughout/at the end of your speech.

OO/INFO - have evidence spread throughout your speech, putting your personality/humor into the speech is nice, varying tone of voice rather than droning, if a part of your speech needs emotion, put emotion! get my attention! hoping this is a topic youre interested in, so absolute formality (like some academic paper) in your speaking isnt a must. be passionate but respectful.

DEBATE EVENTS -

Make sure your speech flows and each point connects to the last and the next.

SPEECH EVENTS -

Confidence + Uniqueness is key, the more passionate you are about the topic, the higher you will be ranked, thus vice versa.

PS: HAVE FUN and RELAX!

Speech Kid with experience in PF, LD, Congress, OO, INFO, DUO and Extemp.

LD/PF:

Weigh please, clear summaries that show you understand the arguments in round, final focus is key: tell me WHY you win the round.

Congress:

Focus on logical arguments with evidence, speaking style matters

Extemp:

7 sources, 3 points, give impacts for each point and make sure your speech answers the question, I CHECK SOURCES

OO/INFO:

confidence is key!, eye contact, no stutters or breaks, fluency. also for info, interactive boards. funny agds are the way to go :)

DUO/All Interp:

If it's a comedy piece it should feel humourous, a dramatic piece should evoke emotions from the audience, try to make a connection to convey ur emotions to the audience!

GOOD LUCK EVERYONE AND HAVE FUNNN!!

Experience: I am a varsity member of the OTHS debate team. I have officially been on the team for two years, doing oratory and exempt.

Philosophy: Based on my experience in speech events, the creative approach to speeches is what makes them unique. Also, the context of the speech is an essential factor, and how well it is presented is very important to me.

Criteria: for the requirements of the speech, first and foremost are the points on how the speech is well developed, second the presentation, third and creative approach, and lastly, how well you're addressing the issue presented in your speech.

Tips for participants: my recommendation will include the good parts of the speech and things that stood out to me. However, my ballot will also include how to make the speech better context-wise and presentation-wise.

Final thoughts: To be a good debater, you have to be able to learn from your mistakes; that's precisely what I am going to try to implement into my ballot. Explaining how the speech can be improved
