Question:

Speech Team?


What exactly are you supposed to do for speech team I'm thinking about trying it but I'm not sure if I am what they are looking for. What are some personality, knowledge and writing traits you need?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: There are two main categories of speech, INTERPRETATION and PUBLIC ADDRESS. Interp. is like acting a part by yourself from a published source, or maybe your own. Public address is giving and informational, or persuasive speech.
Speech team has many categories, and they depend on the state you live in.
For Interp categories, acting is a definate skill you need. And being funny wouldn't help. For Public address, you need to be able to write and informational or persuasive speech. Also there are limited preparation categories, which you need to be able to think fast on your feet.
In all of these topics, creativty is something you definately will need.
