Today on Speech Love from One Clap Speech and Debate, we feature an interview with former Rock Springs Speech and Debate platformer extraordinaire, Lizzy Cozzens.
Lizzy Cozzens, a four-year Rock Springs Tiger, team leader, and talented orator who delivered many strong platform speeches back in her competition days dropped in for a chat about all things Oratory. In a previous Speech Spotlight episode, Lizzy shared one her favorite oratories - a powerful speech entitled "Deadly Dancing." In our conversation, Lizzy discussed her Speech and Debate origins. She talked about what she thinks makes Original Oratory such an exciting event and then specifically discussed the inception and mechanics of her “Deadly Dancing” speech. Lizzy is a wellspring of great advice for orators.

Our One Clap and Wyoming Speech and Debate community mourns with the Kramer family and the many others who loved and appreciated Mack Kramer - a Rock Springs and University of Wyoming debater who was tragically taken away from us too soon. Mack was a kind, hard-working, hilarious, brilliant soul, and they will be deeply missed. Rest in peace, Mack.
