at 11th grade I started by walking out the class, and had a dramatic entrance!!!!
my speech was about teachers and I totally improvised the whole thing!!!
I passed purely because I made the whole class laugh about teachers.
be in mind I was scared big time!!! but everthing seem to come out smoothly, only because I stayed calm and believed in myself that I can do it!!!
If your planning to make a funny speech its best to go first!!!
just incase someone has a funnier speech.
going first is a big advantage because your speech tends to be funnier at first, because at a point the class gets bored out of their mind listening to boring speeches, yes chances are theres going to be some boring speeches!!!
be confident have your head high, and just act like you know what your doing.
I did drama, so yeah I was use to making everything up in the last minute.
There was one subject I could never pass at the last minute and that was math!!!! lol dahahaha
