As the school year is coming to an end, you may think its time for fun, laziness, an d party hardyness. Sure, you can still do these things, but I believe a tip to being successful in your category is to keep from brushing extra practice off. Some ways you can do that are by watching videos of speeches ( There's plenty on YouTube.), going over your old speech every once in a while, looking at new material and experimenting with it, and if you're a real nerd that has nothing to do, Iguess you could ship yourself off to the nearest speech camp. Just dont blow off everything this summer. Its jut like school   If you want to come back remembering a lot from the previous year, you have to go ove things ove the summer. Otherwise, youll end up spending almost the whole season trying to get back up to the high you were on the previous year. And I'm sure no one wants to do that. Remember: Energy, Poise, Confidence, Professionalism.
