Extemporaneous Speaking


Humorous/Dramatic Interpretation


What is HI/DI?


  • This is a speech category in which the competitor will use a script from a book or movie and act it out! Pretty simple right? Well it's not so easy. Here's the catch, you have to be all the actors at the same time using different voice impressions, different body languages, and different attitudes to sell it off and for the story to make sense.


  • What do we teach?


  • We teach you how to control your tone, your pitch, how to improvise, to be more aggressive, to be LESS aggressive and everything else it takes to be a good actor and best of all how to be funny, or how to be dramatic.


  • What skill will you learn


  • These 2 events can greatly build public speaking skills and also confidence in situations under the spotlight

  • It is also a great way to express yourself

  • You can also gain tremendous skills in acting which can help you a long way and can get you into school plays and many more great opportunities!
