I like to talk! Options

HEHEHHE.
Probably I'll join Speech and Debate next year! :D

just because you like to talk does not automatically make you good at debating or making speeches.

[brooklyneast05]

you should try out the debate forum here if you're interested in debate.

Wrong. Speech and Debate isn't entirely about debating or making speeches.

Speech and Debate has two categories: argumentation and interpretation.

interpretation contains several events: dramatic, thematic, humor, exposition, impromptu, and etc.

All these don't have to relate to "debating". All of these relates to talking whether it's for fun, argument, convey a story, or ANYTHING!

[Joss-eh-lime]

maybe i'll join speech.
not debate, because i fail at that.

Yeah I know that. I was keeping my response short. But thanks anyways for automatically assuming that I'm stupid.

[karmakiller]

lol, Yanlin, I love your short posts.

If you join Speech or Debate, hopefully no one will think that you're the annoying one who doesn't know when to shut up. One of my friends who has always been really shy was in Forensics and Debate and always went to state, so you don't have to be a "talker" to excell.

No one is assuming you're stupid. he didn't say he was good at argument or speeches. He simply just stated he will probably join debate because he likes to talk, not because he was good at arguing or presenting speeches. I don't know how you jumped into the conclusion of assuming what you mentioned earlier, "you like to talk does not automatically make you good at debating or making speeches".

If one likes to talk, one can improve his speaking skills by joining speech and debate. There’s nothing wrong. It is a common stereotype that speech and debate is for nerds, argumentative people, hardcore speakers, and geniuses that requires high level debate & speech skills , but it's not true at all.

Almost every girl generally likes to talk, but we know it doesn’t automatically make them good debaters or speech-er.

again, you're not stupid (because you're smart)

[amplifyy]

Well, not only do I like to talk but I'm extremely dramtic and the experience will help me improve on my speaking skills even more.

I like to talk too but I'm not good in front of crowds.

[xDarkHope]

I don;t much like talking. I don't do debate, but I'm in forensics and I act ^-^ Much fun. Good luck :D

[LittleMissSunshi...]

[Whinoa]

Wow. Whoosh. Just because she likes to talk, doesn't mean she's good at it.

Hi. Lyk, I'm a teenie bopper who doesn't lyk stop talking beccuuzzzzz, it's totally rad! I have so much fun and go to the mall and buy cute clothes and go talk to cute boys who have drivers permits because that makes them oh my god so hot! I love fall out boy and death cab for cutie because they totally understand what i'm feeling as my parents are huge bitches to me and will only buy me a honda civic and it's not even brand new it's got 5 thousand miles on it what the hell! So lyke last night my mom dropped me off at the mall AND WHEN SHE WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK ME UP SHE WAS 5 MINUTES LATE OH MY GOD I WAS SO EMBARRASSED IN FRONT OF MY FRIENDS WHAT THE HELL THEIR PARENTS WERE ALL ON TIME!

See, people can like to talk, but no matter how much you like something, you can still be shit at it.

[Whinoa]

lol yes i know that, there's dramatic interpretation and oral interpretation. i get that, but i mean is it called forensics or is it called acting?!? are there multiple names for this category of debate/speech? my school doesn't consider it forensics.. it's considered as like acting for debate/speech.. and my cousins' school calls it forensics.. but isn't forensics like investigating crime scenes or bodies?

lol yes i know that, there's dramatic interpretation and oral interpretation. i get that, but i mean is it called forensics or is it called acting?!?

to answer your question with the given answers, it's called acting.

are there multiple names for this category of debate/speech? my school doesn't consider it forensics.. it's considered as like acting for debate/speech..

Do you mean multiple names of the official title or just literal words? Whether your school called it as forensic or not, it IS forensic.

nooo, it has nothing to do with speech and debate but you are somewhat right about the definition. do your homework, look through the dictionary, and research.
