Impromptu speeches - comments please

Tomorrow Sharon will be giving you a chance to have a go at an impromptu speech.

Time to get some practice in...  If I asked you RIGHT NOW to do an impromptu speech about how to survive an X Factor audition, what would be your introduction?  Post in the comments (or email to me if comments aren't working for you).

Remember, hook your audience in with one of these:
- rhetorical question
- shock/startling statistic
- quotation
- mini story

Whoa, don't think about it too much though - remember it's IMPROMPTU.  Think about it for no more than one minute, starting.... NOW!

  1. how do you feel about going on a stage and performing in front of 200+ people well I know that I would be shaking like a leaf in the breeze so here are some ways to help with the shakes. But technically this won't get rid of all the shakes.

  2. How would you feel if you stepped out onto a stage and heard hundreds of strangers screaming and clapping at you?? Scared? Freaked? Exicted?

  6. All the emotions flooding your brain, excitement, nervousness , making you fell like shouting, vomiting, and maybe even punching someone. Just remember your in the x factor, it's your song that matters most.

  9. How would YOU or your supporters feel if you walked out onto that big stage with 1000000 eyes staring at you? I would feel happy. That's right happy and right now I'm going to tell you, how not to feel nervous on the xfactor stage.
