  1. Individual Events in forensic meets (IE)

  2. Original Oratory • You will deliver a speech on a topic of your own choosing that you have prepared and memorized. • Must be delivered without notes or visual aids • Can contain no more than 150 words quoted from other sources. • Generally these speeches are 8-10 minutes in length • May be Informative (the speaker tells the audience about something they may not already know) • Or Persuasive (the speaker intends to sway the audience to their opinions on a subject)

  3. Extemporaneous Speaking • At the beginning of any round of extemp, competitors are usually given 3 questions relating to current events, and asked to choose one to prepare a speech on. The competitors have a preparation period, usually referred to as "prep time", during which they use periodicals they brought to the tournament to prepare the speech. • The speeches are usually 4 to 7 minutes in length. • They may be on any topic • They fall into to categories: • Foreign-Subjects concerning the current word outside of the US • Domestic- Subjects concerning the US.

  4. Impromptu Speaking • You will be given a short idea, one word or phrase. You will then compose a speech on the prompt. • Prep time is usually short 15 seconds to 5 min. • Speeches are usually 4-7 minutes long.

  5. Interpretation • In each of the events, you will be asked to perform a scene in which you play all of the parts, focusing on portraying them realistically • These are often referred to as the “Acting Events” • These are categorized into 3 categories: • Humorous-The subject matter is humorous in nature • Dramatic - The subject matter is serious in nature • DUO – Two contestants act out a single scene together without touching or looking at one another.

  6. Oral Declamation • You will read someone else’s speech aloud in fine rhetorical form. • The material is not your own, it is originally published by someone else. • This is not an acting event. Do NOT imitate the original speaker! • You will carry the script of the speech in a black binder while it is being delivered. • Maximum time is 5 minutes.
