Okay am I crazy or is informative the most normal speech event

#like interp is overpolitical theater kids #and oratory is the annoyingly opinionated cousin at your family dinner #whose end goal is to make someone cry #and impromptu is sheer insanity #I mean really who in their right mind subjects themselves to the torture of giving a five minute speech with two minutes prep #and then there’s extemp #there are no words for extemp #speech and debate #speech and debate memes #informative speaking

my 2-3 minute information on newsies is going to be closer to 6 minutes at the rate i’m going

#i just love them #newsies #informative speaking #speech and debate #if not 7 #i’m almost at two pages and i’m only on my second point #newsies 1992 #newsies live #92sies #livesies #the newsboy strike #history

WHAT’S IN MY BAG FOR A TOURNEY!!!

I like to bring both my briefcase and a backpack/duffel bag to tournaments. I usually only actually bring my briefcase to my congress rounds, so only on debate days. To impromptu rounds, I’ll only take a legal pad, a pen, and a timer. I only bring a timer to interps. Always bring a water bottle to rounds!

Keep in mind that I do congress, so the briefcase list is pretty congress specific.

BRIEFCASE

Laptop: I don’t use it much in round since I usually have my speeches, legislation, and any other papers printed out and put into a binder, but sometimes it’s good to have the laptop backup.

G2s: Yes, I use G2s. They are really nice! I usually flow speeches and questions. I only bring red, blue, and black. For congress, I generally do red for flowing the speech, blue for any questions I want to ask, and black for extra.

Pencil: If I ever want to submit an amendment, pass a note, or whatever else, I use pencil.

Dry erase markers: sometimes there aren’t any good markers to do priority with, so I like to always have one on hand.

Paper: I’m currently using a legal pad, it’s easier for congress.

Mints: duh. I like icebreakers.

Cough drops: If you are blessed enough to be speaking a lot in congress, you’ll probably need these.

Phone charger + computer charger: these just live in my briefcase during tourneys because I’ve had so many stolen chargers.

Timer: this year I’m gonna make a resolution to stop bringing my phone to rounds/ leave it in the briefcase. How sweet would it be if I got the NSDA timer (not very that would be lame)

OTHER BAG

Deodorant: people will ask you for it a ton, and you really don’t want to smell bad!

Snacks: sometimes tourney food is gross, so bring ya own snacks

First aid kit: it’s easy to get hurt, so just be prepared

Portable charger: a must!

Kindle: I like to read sometimes!

Camera: I’m my team’s unofficial photographer, so I usually try to snap a few photos in between rounds

Sewing kit: you can usually get these at walgreens or CVS! They are very important in case you or a friend have a wardrobe malfunction

Hand sanitizer: people have germs, so make sure to use some often, especially before eating.

Pads/Tampons: It’s nice to be prepared, and if you are a person who doesn’t get periods, it’s nice to help out a friend!

A copy of your script(s): It’s nice to go over before rounds, just to be sure!

Hoodie/Jacket: I don’t like to change right after rounds because of pictures, but I like to put on my hoodie on the bus usually. Especially if it is cold.

Blanket/Pillow: If I have extra room I like to bring a thin blanket just so I can be cozy and a pillow in case I need some naps

Headphones: don’t listen to music during rounds but do listen in between rounds!

Pre-prepared food: listen, tourney food can be very bad sometimes. If you meal prep, you know that you will have food that will for sure keep you energized. I think I’ll make a post about this later.
