The Extemper’s Bible is excited to introduce our NEXT seminar! It’s always been our goal to provide Extempers across the nation with the best resources possible, at no cost. We’re here to provide resources to refine your skills and bolster your knowledge, from our repertoire of drills, lectures, and experienced lecturers. The last seminar was well received by those who attended, and we’re excited to bring our next topic.
Seminar #2: Europe and AGDs
The topic for our second of many free seminars will be Europe and AGDs. You’ll learn all about the European status-quo, which is an essential asset to those who do domestic and international extemp. In addition, many Extempers struggle with developing “Attention Getting Devices”, or “Attention Grabbing Devices”, which the community refers to as an “AGD”. These are your hooks for a speech, and are essential to mastering. You’ll learn how to refine them exactly at this seminar with 1 on 1 help from our experienced Extempers, as well as “on-tops”.
This second seminar will be held on March 4th, from 7-9 PM CST. That’s 5-7 PM PST, 6-7 PM MST, and 8-10 PM EST. You can sign up using the link below:
