Speech

The Speech event has two components – prepared speech and impromptu speech. Each speech is timed and scored using a formal rubric. The topic of the prepared speech is the student's choice but it must meet the approval of the team coach. Consult the USAD Practice Test Booklet and the GAD Coaches' Manual for more information about the Speech event.
