Event Prep · Free drills · Season Pass for grades 5–8
Your club meets weekly.
Your practice doesn't have to.
You have an event and the motivation to practice. What you need between meetings is a clear next task and feedback on the rep you actually gave. Start with a free drill below; add recorded reps and feedback when you're ready for a routine.
Independent practice for NSDA-style speech events. Not an NSDA program, official ballot or substitute for your club.

Use your school coach for event selection, live performance, tournament rules and judgment. Use Event Prep to get more individual reps, listen back and test a specific revision before your next meeting.
The AI report quotes your speech and suggests a next step. It can be wrong. Keep your own judgment, verify sources, and take it to your school coach when you need a human perspective.
Ready for a regular practice loop?
One Season Pass. More purposeful reps.
For a student who already knows their event and can practice independently. Your school club remains the place for live audiences, teammates and your coach's judgment.
- For middle schoolers (grades 5–8): up to 4 AI-scored reps a day across middle-school speech events, plus a redo of just the fix after each one.
- Software feedback only: no live class and no human review. Your school coach stays your coach.
- A saved practice plan, event history and a private summary for the parent email on the pass.

These speech reports use Augmind's event-specific practice rubrics, not official NSDA scores. Audio can reveal content, timing and measured delivery; it cannot assess eye contact, posture or visual aids. Scores do not predict tournament results.
Check your tournament's current rules before preparing for a round. Middle-school Original Oratory and Informative timing in the product remains labeled as a practice default while current-season rules are verified.
