<p>So I’ve been nominated to audition for the speaking role at graduation, and I really want to do it. Anyone have any advice on how I can keep it funny yet professional, original yet appropriate for the situation? I already intend to plug a line about “clean” and “wholesome” fun we all had at prom.</p>
<p>Chest pound, raised fist salute, “Fight the Power!”</p>
<p>You can play it off as a joke, if you want.</p>
<p>Cool idea. Too bad the audition process is screened by the principal, and you get booted off stage if you deviate from what you auditioned with…</p>
<p>It’s a perfect closer.</p>
