The Humorous Speech Contest - 1st Place!

Table Topics Contest 16 September 2014

My First Table Topics Contest!
It was very interesting and CHALLENGING.
I want to thank John for motivating me to take part in so many competitions.
The more you do -- the easier it gets.



My notes/critique:
Voice
Cadence
Gravitas

It's kind of a bummer, at competitions you don't get the feedback from your audience.

Doesn't get better than this:

WoD - GRAVITAS

1. Voice
• Too high - as usual
2. Cadence
• Too quick - but getting better
3. Gravitas
• Exactly! What I gotta work on. Overall impression - still too nervous, quick, and jittery.

Great article plus vid here

I especially like the five P's of voice:

1. PITCH
2. PACE
3. PAUSE
4. PROJECTION
5. PASSION
