vinay nayak 1st prize original oratory, NFL, KS, MO, 2010

[@CLT787]

Very great speech by a very great speaker! The NFL really prepares out youth for leadership!! Coming from an NFL alumni but I've seen the impact!

[@peterposada2545]

I miss being this young, and this free, and this happy and healthy... I wish I was this attractive when I was young and had the freedom and the money to just let go and live. Life gets so scary as you get older and finances and health issues start to creep up.Its so fun to watch and just live through them. Anyone reading this who is still young, please enjoy it. Don't stress the small stuff, honestly. You are going to be amazed how fast time goes. And its actually unfair how little time we are alotted to be young. Dump the abusive partners, dont waste time on them..Quit jobs which make you unhappy. Just enjoy those precious few years, because the destruction which comes after is relentless. Enjoy your beauty, enjoy your HEALTH, and give thanks to every new day that you get to wake up

[@Iaintertainment]

Vinay is great. The thing that really makes this speech stand out from the rest is his unique manner of pausing. He'll take short, sharp pauses in the middle of his sentences that subconsciously make you interested in the next word he'll use. Substantively, it's a very well-constructed speech. There are maybe one too many jokes that rely on him suddenly becoming serious (5:30), but that's just a quibble.

Well damn here I am trying to think of a good introduction for my oratory when I see this guy's amazing intro and I can't think of anything ^-^

[@omarioomario5290]

How did it go?

[@michelleowens1947]

This speech was amazing. I'm going to preform my first Oratory speech soon and this was a great example. So thank you!

[@writersblock26]

Thank you for posting this, MrUtb808!

[@sliverfreak9]

I just fell in love with this guy! x)

[@bummergurl]

Awesome! He beasted it! Had to rewatch twice!

[@emmamillis1412]

This is the best one I've seen so far!!! I'm working on a whitewashing oratory right now, this has helped me a lot already!!!

[@anubhavgargsteel]

I am proud that you and my dad share the same first name. PREACH IT!

[@deanmeredia7439]

This person is crazy good!

[@1q2w3e2w1q]

He knocked me out of National Qualifying Tournament

[@bpulgam]

That Ending though...

[@nabhanhaque5930]

☠☠☠

[@pradiptamallick]

That was beast!! Amazing!!;

[@kottapali]

AWESOME!!

[@accessdenied007]

Outstanding.

[@peaceprincessshay]

0 dislikes + Indian pride, bro :)

[@speechMEET]

Great hook at the beginning of the speech!

[@a0last0request]

this is so goooooooooood

[@PyrotechnicSweetSaus]

I find his lovely speaking style and articulation so attractive. Why don't most boys debate?

[@autumnperry3611]

some may argue that he over gestures but his hand movements are soft and subtle which makes them more natural and not as distracting. They add rather than take away from his speech.

[@chriszhen5737]

I liked the inspirational content and catchy one-liners; however I felt his hand gestures were a little too superfluous.

[@vortex365]

HOLY SHIT THIS GUY IS LIKE MY TWIN!

[@keshavtennisplayer]

This was great just one question where did you get this video?

[@nabhanhaque5930]

The ending is 🔥

[@Lilly36565]

This guy is an absolutely amazing speaker! Reminded me of Obama!

[@madv77]

so true!

[@09Islandking]

This guy killed that OO.

[@cbadcomaly]

Amazing speech this really is helpful to what i should try for my speech XD

[@ilaisaanemuimuiheata7835]

how old is he?

[@extremeops3000]

Wow 2 people actually failed to come away with anything from this video.

[@extremeops3000]

Guys guys stop arguing about little things, the lesson is what we should be focusing on.

[@CLT787]

Not NFL as in a National Football League--NFL as in National Forensic League!

[@RrrihannaRox]

Where in the world did you get that inane idea?

[@Savoy209]

Obama junior

[@TheCoolChrisShow]

I was thinking the same thing but if he got 1st place, we're probably wrong.

[@kailiordiz563]

IT's a euphemism.

[@xyzyzl3605]

what whyyyyuhh

[@Elegantslayer1]

where's the originality in this?

[@michaelangelo9119]

actually, Glenn Beck is more an example of someone who disagrees than hate speech

[@lazypoko]

Nice suit, Waaaaaaay too big.

[@Javanoid15]

Bobby Jindal

[@Iaintertainment]

I think his hand placement--clutching his hands together at chest level, as opposed to letting them rest at his sides--makes him more prone towards over-gesticulation. The fact that he got first place doesn't mean that it's a perfect speech--none are--or that he's immune to constructive criticism. Only 3 out of the 15 judges in the national final round gave him a first rank. Sarah's opinion matters. When it comes to a subjective activity like this, everyone's opinion matters.

[@mbbrainerd2120]

Well done! but for future presentations, think about wearing a slimmer shirt and sports jacket. :)

[@CGinevraJoyce]

If Barack Obama is not re-elected, I nominate Vinay Nayak.

[@alirabie9288]

i feel like hes smarter then my parents lol

[@BeastModest]

He got 1st place. Your opinion does not matter.

[@qwertyisadog]

Future president of America without a doubt.

[@firesupperf]

Didn't he go over time?

[@MrsLeota]

in the top 6 it doesn't matter unless they go grossly over like 14 minutes

[@goldmoogle]

It's honestly up to the judge if they factor your time into their rank at all, at any level; people put more merit into it the lower the competition is, at the national stage it's more about the performance then how you follow the limitations.

[@caitlinandbharathivallalar3409]

They don’t time on the National stage

[@TURBANator1992]

This guy has obviously been studying a lot of Barack Obama's speeches. Too many similarities to just be a coincident, in my opinion. He's good, but make your own unique style, buddy!

[@aldemchips565]

I disagree completely. I think his style is unique. Typically, you don't see Obama beginning his speeches in such a silly way, as well as how he uses a lot more humor.

[@zachwong7324]

Tania Kelley Aldem Chips Watch this and then go watch Obama's 2004 Speech to the DNC. The hand motions are exactly the same. Also, he worked on the 2008 Obama Campaign and has since interned at the White House and 2012 Obama Campaign.

[@xyzyzl3605]

Aldem Chips duh

[@talonanderson1034]

+TURBANator1992 plz don't hate, just appreciate that this guy is cool. uniqueness is overrated.

[@mutatedlavalamp]

His speaking style is copied quite a lot from Barack. Not a bad thing, just an observation :)

[@219willbegfor]

Quoting Kanye to preach racial sensitivity😂😂😂

[@amberreed5324]

Literally spit out my drink at that point like 😶😶😶😶🤣🤣🤣

[@persona-non-grata]

Incredibly ill-fitting suit.

[@sacrell]

Overuse of gestures imo

[@noelaug]

What the hell is racial insensitivity? Aren't you just talking about straight-up racism?
