“There are people in this room who had not been born when he started. Two of them report to him.”
One line from this speech
This one is a template. The jokes, the timing and the shape are written; 5 lines are left blank for the names, the job, the in-joke and the details only you know. Fill them in and it is about your person, not a person.
What you get
- The full speech, in a web page you can read on a phone, and as a Word file, plain text or Markdown.
- A short note on how to use it — where the pauses are and which line is the ending.
- A licence to perform it. It stays yours; nothing expires.
- 5 bracketed lines to fill, and a builder in the app that walks you through them.
Straight answers
- Is this the whole thing, or a sample?
- The whole thing. “Read the opening” above shows you the first stretch free, so you can hear the voice before you decide.
- Can I change it?
- Yes. It is yours to cut, reorder and rewrite. Most people do.
- What if it is not right for me?
- Read the opening first. It is free and it is the real text — that is what it is there for.
- How do I practise it?
- Out loud, in the Stage — a room that reacts to your timing and goes quiet when you rush. Anything you own is on its shelf, free to run as often as you like.
