    The goal of oration is not winning the competition but sending a powerful message to the people

    Relaxation and being yourself are two keys to good oration. I need to improve on pronunciation and clarity, which are also important. I struggle with these two aspects even though I was born speaking English from the beginning of my life..

    I will be participating and oratorical competition tomorrow. I have the least trainings out of all the other contestants because of my busy schedule.
    But I will surely do my best and leave the rest to the Lord ^___^

    Oration in 2014 is a bit too rehearsed. Even the hand gestures seemed too practiced. This young man did a brilliant job though. This was the standard then.

      @blessieruelo8798 8 років тому

      +Konijiwa Mahito Pretty sure that in Impromptu, you get around and if not exactly 7 minutes for preparation time. Extemp. is longer and more limited to social/political issues either specific to the US or worldwide. I'd double-check if I were you.

    While his words are wonderful, however, his presentation was not anything to be admired. I encourage him to continue his craft, but his delivery is elementary. I'm surprised that his oration is considered worthy of national recognition.

    Like he is speaking to a kindergarten class. Overpronunciation in US English is sickening.
