Things to Think About
  • Coaches find pieces the same way you do - they are not witches. 
  • You won't learn how to find pieces or write speeches if your coach does it for you. They're here to guide you - sign up to meet with them.
  • The “Perfect Piece” does not exist. Your piece is what YOU make it.
    • Individuality - How will this piece stick out? Does it speak in a new way?
    • Universality - Is your piece relevant? Can your audience relate to it.
    • Suggestion - What is the point to your piece? Will it leave the audience with something to do?
The best Speeches are...
  • Specific
    • What are you interested in? What is it ABOUT that topic that interests you?
  • Significant
    • What kind of impact has this topic had on society?
  • Current
    • A topic with a history is great, a topic stuck in history is not.
  • Interesting
    • You’ll be with it for the whole season, so you best love it.
