Well, I tried out for Speech Team last week. Results were posted today. I. MADE. THE. TEAM.
I am in two events. Prose Reading and Impromptu Speaking. The former is where I read a selection from a novel or what have you. The latter is simple. The judges give me a topic and I have to talk about it on the spot. No preparation. Just get the topic and go. It's like improv. Two events means that I have double the pressure at tournaments. But I can manage.
For the prose reading, I know exactly what to pull from. My favorite author, Mr. Haruki Murakami. It was, in fact, one of his books that made me want to audition in the first place.
THREE CHEERS FOR DROOG!
