Debate Exercise - Speaking Drills the Vermont Way from
Alfred Snider on
Vimeo.
This is a video of University of Vermont students taking part in our speaking drill exercise. Here is how it works:
1. They stand up and are given a motion and must start speaking immediately. This helps bring out delivery problems that they have since they are trying to figure out what to say.
2. They are given a motion that is unusual and often against what they believe. Again, this brings out delivery flaws.
3. They speak for four minutes.
4. They then receive criticism from a panel, with each member of the panel focusing on one part of delivery: verbal crutches, face and eyes, voice, body and hands, etc.
5. They are given a copy of the video (with criticisms) and more motions and are told to do this again on their own speaking into their laptop cameras and watching themselves after.
