Baron Leofric has undoubtedly given the best advice for an aspiring Court Herald... get a script! I recall the court he refers below... nervous herald's first court; that was myself! I got roped into doing this, and had no idea what I was doing (so what's new about that, Manfred?!). Although I have no problem with projection and pronunciation, they don't help much if you don't know what to say! That script Baron Leofric prepared allowed me to fulfill a role. I'd say a script would be an invaluable tool for a herald of any skill level, as I've seen some great heralds side-track themselves with their own "adlibs" and "humor injections."
