Looking to get into Forensics?

Every wonder why no one gives you an award for all of the talking you do?  Well there is a place where you can do that.  By competing in Forensics (competitive speech, debate, and drama) you can master public speaking and critical thinking skills while sharing your talent with people around the country.  All of the cool kids are doing it, James Earl Jones, Adam Sandler, Kelsey Grammer, Oprah Winfrey, and former presidents Johnson, Nixon, and Clinton.  In order to give you an idea of they kinds of things you can do in this valuable activity I have included a number of videos, starting with an introduction then speeches from some of the best high school speakers in the country. Enjoy.  Let me know what you think.  Leave comments!

Well that all I have time for right now.  Still trying to find an example of good extemporaneous speaking.  Also I know that most of the examples are humorous.  Its hard to find the serious stuff because most people just upload the funny stuff.  I'll keep looking.
