Thoughts on the 2008 International Championship of Public Speaking

Before I Get on with my competition story I wanted to pause for a moment and recognize Katherine Morrison for placing third in the International Speech Contest.

 

I made it to the Region 7 contest where I didn’t even place.  It was clear that I was way out of my league on the Regional stage … this year.  But watching Katherine up on stage caused a light bulb to go on.

 

First of all, most of the people who get to that level are professional speakers and in Katherine’s case she had a good deal of acting experience as well.

 

Because of Katherine, I realized I need to get with some actors and learn their tricks. I have some friends that have spent some time on stage; one in particular won the District 38 championship three times.

 

Any way Thank you Katherine and congratulations on finishing third.  After seeing you perform at the Region 7 contest, I can’t say I am surprised you did so well.
