Every one's a Comedian

I went way out of my comfort zone during my speech class. The task assigned was to sell the audience on an idea or product. My performances are always serious with an element of tragedy to them. Today, I took a new avenue and ventured into comedy. Over the past few days of practice, I was sure I looked goofy. I rehearsed in front of my family, they laughed. But still, it didn't feel right. Standing in front of my classmates, not knowing how I would be received, I was thinking of ways to ask my teacher for a second chance at the assignment...The speech began with a serious tone then upon the word 'jaw' my comedic routine began. My mouth opened wide and I began making some weird face stretches as I convinced my audience the benefits of vocal exercises. The laughter began. Oh no! Now I wondered how to keep my composure and not start laughing myself. Staying true to character I pulled it off quite nicely. My teacher loved it and gave me an A+. My classmates said it was a side of me they have never seen. I haven't seen it in me either. Well I guess it goes without saying, but I'll say it anyway, 'Every one's A Comedian'...But that's High School.
