What is Speech?
“There’s nothing that prepares you better for work
and life, than high school Speech.”
Oprah Winfrey
“If I could pick one factor in selecting a student
who will excel in college, it would be participation
in high school Speech.”
John Sexton, President, NYU

“To Do” Tips for the Gentlemen
SUITS:
• Choose a conservative style, dark colors: black, dark gray, charcoal, olive or navy (Avoid flashy or showy fabrics)
• Make sure your suit is altered to fit properly - sleeves should break just below your wrist
SHIRTS:
• Collars should be stiff but comfortable (too loose looks tacky; too tight, you'll feel like you're choking).
TIES:
• Colors should work back into your suit or work well with your shirt. Patterns should not be distracting or silly.
• Should end at belt line - no higher, no lower
SHOES:
• Basic black goes with everything.
• Make sure they are comfortable.
• Always make sure your shoes are polished and well maintained.
BELTS AND SOCKS:
• Your belt should match your shoes.
• Socks should match your shoes.
Men’s Suits
“To Do” Tips for the Ladies
JACKETS:
• Choose a conservative style jacket in a solid, basic color. Black always looks good.
SKIRTS:
• Buy the skirt that goes with the jacket, OR choose a skirt that matches the jacket.
• No short skirts!!! Skirts should be no higher than 1" above the knees.
BLOUSES:
• Use this as an opportunity to add a touch of color under your suit. (Remember that blouses are an inexpensive way to change the look of an outfit).
• Be sure the blouse is not too low cut. Be conservative.
SHOES:
• Stick with a medium (roughly 2") heel. Stay away from boots and flats.
• Black, navy, or dark colors that match your suit work best. No white or cream colored shoes.
• Closed toed shoes are a must! No toes should be showing!
• Avoid “strappy” shoes. Straps are distracting.
STOCKINGS:
• Always wear nylons, and keep lots of extras on hand. Nylons should either be “bare” or gray. No patterns.
JEWELRY:
• Keep jewelry choices conservative – it should compliment/accent your attire, not distract us.
• Earrings should not dangle.
• Necklaces should not distract. Conservative pearls are nice.

Personal Appearance “To Do’s”
• HAIR - Keep it out of your face!
Gentlemen: This may mean getting a hair cut
Ladies: Tie your hair back off your face NEATLY and TIGHTLY. Use bobby pins to keep your hair tight and always out of your face. This is the difference between looking ready to perform versus looking like you just got off the bus.
• FACE – Let us see your expressions
Gentlemen: Clean shaven.
Ladies: Just like if you were performing on TV or in a play, make-up should be worn, but keep colors and amount conservative.
