Humorous Interp (HI)
Description
Humorous Interpretation enables students not only to develop skills common to all speech contests, but to select and condense worthy humorous literature suitable to the contestant’s personality and maturity and to convey orally the humor of that literature through characterization and narration. Students play all characters in the chosen scene, and utilize "popping" to differentiate each character. Humorous Interpretation is designed to test a student’s comedic skills through script analysis, delivery, timing, and character development. Competitors may portray one or multiple characters. No props or costumes may be used. Performances can also include an introduction written by the student to contextualize the performance and state the title and author.
