    I really like watching these videos because they help me know what I need to do or work on whenever I perform a POI. So this really does help me practice. I appreciate these videos! Thank you!

    I'd love to do those scripts but I'm afraid I wouldn't do it any justice. I don't have nearly the talent or the emotional composition to do all those roles. Well done, though, from one POI to another.

    Are they allowed to see the pages in the book? On my forensics team we get points taken off for that.

    I was in NFL ( National Forensics League) in high school..1963-1967...and went Nationals my senior year....I must say...speech and debate had REALLY CHANGED !...We did readings from established authors and poets...writers that pocessed literary merit and quality....I find this style very lacking !

      Hey! Times have changed and it’s for the better. Forensics have diversified to encompass more of the human experience and that is a net good for everyone
