Speech Choir

The Baker University Speech Choir creates and performs original works for campus ceremonies and celebrations and also performs off campus. Audiences look forward to these lively, unique and thought-provoking performances.

Creativity, Collaboration & Organization

The Speech Choir prepares, perfects and performs programs drawn from a variety of genres, including poetry, news items, prose, drama excerpts and jokes.

Members develop and exercise a variety of creative and organizational skills:

• Research script materials
• Critique initial script drafts
• Create movements
• Suggest interpretations for lines or segments that will bring the writers' works to life

Multidisciplinary

Speech Choir members represent nearly every department across campus. Members are enrolled in CO 230 Communication Workshop and receive academic credit for the activity. 

You do not need previous public presentation experience. However, if you have participated in theatre or forensics in high school, you are well-suited to this type of presentation experience.

Scholarships are available.
