Cheyenne Central Speech and Debate Senior and Team President, Whitney Brooks is here today to share her Original Oratory from last season on Speech Love. Whitney has been a Cheyenne Central Speech and Debate Competitor for three years. She is the 2022 Wyoming State Champion in Original Oratory, and a two-time National Qualifier in Oratory as well. The speech she shares today is from her 2021 season, and it is called: "Down the Rabbit Hole.” This cool speech tackles the dangerous impact of conspiracy theories!

A quick word about how to use these speech spotlight episodes. First, enjoy an excellent, very well done speech. The speech spotlight is another opportunity for students to share their unique and powerful voice to an audience in an audio format. So, sit back and enjoy some brilliance from our speech and debate community. Second, consider how you might use this speech as a model for anyone who is looking to write and perform their own original oratories. Third, these speeches could be excellent learning tools for coaches and competitors. Actively reflecting on what makes a speech powerful, effective, or even flawed can help coaches and competitors add more tools and ideas to their own speaking toolboxes.

Forensics Mastermind, YuYu Yuan Discusses Oratory, Speech and Debate Community, & the Joys of Ramen
On today's Speech Love episode of One Clap Speech and Debate, good friend of the podcast, YuYu Yuan dropped in for an extended chat with a focus on Original Oratory to compliment the two speeches she has previously shared on the podcast. The four-year Cheyenne East Thunderbird and two time Wyoming State Champion PF debater, as well as a State Champion in Original Oratory, actually spoke with me quite a while ago (I mean like way back in the summer... sorry, YuYu!), but I’m glad to finally have the opportunity to share our conversation.
We all know YuYu as the co-host of the Half Hour - the extemporaneous speaking focused podcast that now has 26 episodes. In two previously aired Speech Spotlight episodes, YuYu shared two awesome oratories: “Naming Our Identity” and “Are You Sick of Me Yet?” In this episode, YuYu goes into depth about these oratories.
Additionally, YuYu discussed her Speech and Debate story - how she got involved in this world and what makes her continue to invest so much of herself in the activity and community. She talked about what she loves about Original Oratory, gave some great advice for others pursuing a great oratory, and also specifically discussed the inception, the development, and the speaking moves in the two oratories that she shared with us on the Speech Spotlight. We also discussed giving back to the speech and debate community and the unparalleled deliciousness of ramen.
