Best Answer

To start a debating speech; no matter where your position in the debate is make sure you don't start with a 'good morning' first, get straight to your point even if your the 1st speaker of the affirmative (then say morning/afternoon) you can still start off with a strong start. You can start off with a phrase or story (relating to the topic) and shame the opposition. Because you can't rebut the opposing if you're the very first speaker you can just tell the audience why you're team is going to win. Everyone else, DON'T start with: today's topic is... Start off with something which you know will make the opposing team feel taken a back and nervous and less judge mental .
