Question Posted Wednesday November 11 2009, 5:18 pm
Hello,I have a debate tournament this weekend and I really need to find a piece for Oral Interpretation. That is ,dramatic reading!
I have to have one piece that is prose and one piece that is poetry and each of which has to be over 5 mins and less than 10 mins. It as well has to be published. I really would like to have a humorous piece because im a funny person and it's hard for me to read serious pieces since I'm just not the serious type.If anyone can send me a link to a good piece? Thank you~!
If you want something challenging, look for pieces by Lord Buckley. He was a '50s beatnik spoken-word freakout who used bebop slang and scatting in his performances. His most famous piece is about the life of Jesus, and is called "The Nazz". Here's a copy of the text: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location); you can find videos on Youtube.

As in, you order it online and they ship a script out to you.

They have tons of humorous scripts that I'm sure you'll have fun with, and they're all between 5 and 10 minutes.
BUT you have to ORDER them.
That's the only problem here.
My Speech & Debate team told us that if we don't have enough time to order them, to find a book we like and take some parts out of the book and make a speech out of that.
So if you have a book that you really like, you can find some parts out of it, mesh it together, and have a speech?
