Informative Speaking Champ Ella Goodman Talks the Importance of Killer Jokes, Community, and Fritos

Today on One Clap Speech and Debate, we feature an interview with Cheyenne East Speech and Debate sophomore Informative Speaking all-star, Ella Goodman.


 

Season three of One Clap is here with a primary focus on platform events. We’ll be sharing student speeches and interviews about platform speaking for the next several weeks. I’ve got some amazing speakers lined up!


It starts with Cheyenne East sophomore Ella Goodman. Ella is a sophomore competitor for East this year, but last year was her first year of Speech and Debate. It was a pretty historic first year for (then freshman) Ella, who captured the Wyoming State Championship and qualified for Nationals with her first Informative Speech.


Today’s Speech Love episode is an interview with Ella about her experiences in Speech and Debate and Informative Speaking. Ella talked about what she thinks makes an informative speech effective and how Public Forum debate didn’t really work out for her last season. She shares some of her secrets about comedic timing and her own affinity for Fritos - despite all the corn chip haters out there.
