The Extemper’s Bible has been the go-to source for extempers across the nation to find resources on demand. We’ve brought new weekly questions, strategy pieces, interviews, and more. Now, we’re bringing something new to the table: curated seminars for ALL extempers.
The goal of the Extemper’s Bible, dating back to the podcast, and reaching as far ahead as extempers.org, was to provide extempers across the nation with helpful, accessible resources to succeed in their craft. These seminars are the next step in that direction. With a wide range of topics to help you learn relevant information, to drills that will refine your skills, and with the experience of top-level lecturers, these seminars will be necessities for all extempers.
Seminar #1: Biden Cabinet Officials
The topic for the first of many of these free seminars will be Biden’s Cabinet Officials. You’ll learn all about the incoming administration, from the secretaries to the directors. You’ll also get 1 on 1 help with engaging drills to advance your extemporaneous skills, from already accomplished extempers.
This first seminar will be held on January 28th, from 6-7 PM CST. That’s 4-5 PM PST, 5-6 PM MST, and 7-8 PM EST. You can sign up using the link below:

Aditya Kalahasti, a rising senior from Solon, OH, will also be leading the seminar as a lecturer. He has been doing International Extemporaneous for the past 4 years, as well as World Schools and Extemporaneous Debate at the 2020 National Tournament.
