OK Speech and Debate: Affiliate with NCFCA, Save Money!

Hello Oklahoma Speech & Debate Scholars:

Today is the last day to affiliate with NCFCA to receive the early bird discount! Why should you care?

Here are 4 reasons to affiliate before midnight Monday, September 15!

1) Save $25 off the regular affiliation price
2) Add to the regional affiliate numbers that are used to calculate how many slots we get to Nationals (if before Monday at midnight)
3) Helps the Regional Leadership Team plan for the right facilities to accommodate students
4) Plus, of course, eligibility to compete in Region IV!!

If you are considering competing this spring season, then go ahead and affiliate with NCFCA. This will save you some money, get it off your todo list, and help the regional and state workers estimate the number of competitors.

We are so excited to get this new year underway! I hope you will all join us for another great season in Region IV!

The fear of public speaking...

“Students of public speaking continually ask, "How can I overcome self-consciousness and the fear that paralyzes me before an audience?" Did you ever notice in looking from a train window that some horses feed near the track and never even pause to look up at the thundering cars, while just ahead at the next railroad crossing a farmer's wife will be nervously trying to quiet her scared horse as
the train goes by? How would you cure a horse that is afraid of cars—graze him in a back-woods lot where he would never see steam-engines or automobiles, or drive or pasture him where he would frequently see the machines?
Apply horse-sense to ridding yourself of self-consciousness and fear: face an audience as frequently as you can, and you will soon stop shying. You can never attain
freedom from stage-fright by reading a treatise. A book may give you excellent suggestions on how best to conduct yourself in the water, but sooner or later you must get wet, perhaps even strangle and be "half scared to death." There are a great many "wetless" bathing suits worn at the seashore, but no one ever learns to swim in them. To plunge is the only way.” ― Dale Carnegie
