One Clap Speech and Debate
Cheyenne Central Standout, Whitney Brooks, Considers Original Oratory, Student Leadership, & Fruit Snacks
Show Notes

Today on One Clap Speech Love, Whitney Brooks dropped in for a really fun and enlightening discussion.  The three-year Cheyenne Central Senior and 2022 Wyoming State Champion Original Orator is the president of the talented Central squad that captured the 4A Wyoming State Championship trophy this season.  In a previously aired Speech Spotlight episode, Whitney shared her conspiratorial oratory: “Down the Rabbit Hole.”

In our conversation, Whitney discussed her Speech and Debate story - how she got involved in this world and what makes her embrace a leadership role in her Speech community.  She talked about what she loves about Original Oratory, gave some great advice for others pursuing oratory success, and also specifically discussed the inception, the development, and the speaking moves in her “Down the Rabbit Hole” speech.  We then got into the ways that students can take leadership roles on their teams and in the Speech and Debate community.  Whitney revealed her terrible secret: she is a self-acclaimed band nerd!  Additionally, we extolled the tenants of fruit snacks and Diet Coke as speech tourney snacks.
