Drills

=__Drills__-= These drills will help with speed/clarity/word economy.

**Logic Train or Chain**
Explain to your parents the logic of an argument. If you can explain it to them you're pretty good. Remember these are the people that for the majority of the time you will be judged by. Logic chains should be straight forward enough that everyone can understand it.

Word Economy
Time your case while you give it. Write down the time and try to take off at least 30 seconds each time. This will help you increase your speed and know your case better. You can also take one argument and make the analytical argument. Time it and each time try to do it faster. Get rid of filler words and unnecessary explanations.

Clarity
Time your case while giving it as fast as you can with a pen in your mouth. This will help you be more clear and increase your speed.

Breathing
TIme your case while giving it as fast as possible and holding the case on a chair that you're holding up. This will help with your speed and with how you breathe.

Speed
Time your case while giving it as fast as possible, but say and in between every word. (I 'and' negate 'and'..) This will help you with your speed.

Filler Word Deleter
Give your case to someone. Have the person watching spray you with a water-bottle every time you use a filler word. This will help you stop using filler words.

**Rebuttal Redos**
Redo the 1NC/NR or any other rebuttal speech. Make it clearer every time. Make it faster every time. This will make you a better debater all around.

Word Vomit
First Anthony would like to say: "Screw word vomit." While doing rebuttal redos don't stop talking. No matter what is coming out don't stop.

Combine all these drills together. You know if you're into that kind of sadistic thing.
