Debate Tournament!


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~!

There's a couple of pieces by Les Baxter: Cosmo, the Fairly-Accurate Knife Thrower, and Cosmo, Prince of Denmark. You can find them here: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
scroll down to the Friday, February 7 2003 entry.

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.

Another freakout piece is Brother Theodore's Food Sermon: [Link](Mouse over link to see full location) You will seriously disturb the judges with this one.

Most of the time, you have to buy the script.
As in, you order it online and they ship a script out to you.

If you want to do that go to [Link](Mouse over link to see full location)
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?

Hope this helps a bit.
:)
