Content Services: A Critical Eye

Receive detailed feedback and specific suggestions from a national-champion coach. AP Speech provides the most insightful suggestions, based on years of experience turning first drafts into final-round masterpieces. Don't just write a speech, create a work of art that is thought-provoking, entertaining, moving, and enlightening. We'll help you write the speech that everyone will be talking about.

 

Topic Selection Brainstorm, Research, & Selection - $200 

The most important competitive decision you will make as a speech competitor is your topic or script. To ensure you choose a topic that is right for you, the audience, and the judges, schedule a topic selection meeting with an NSDA National-Champion Coach. We will use our expertise and research skills to help you find your topic or script.

 

Outline Review - $100

Once you've found the right topic, it's time to outline. Most students fail to outline properly and thus, lose competitive points for weak argumentation, organization, clarity and cohesiveness.
