The most high-pressure crown jewel of Grandomastery speaking drills: the scheduled host of a prestigious live TV/internet roundtable has vanished minutes before air. You (alone or in a small editorial team) must instantly: choose a provocative, timely topic, write and deliver a flawless 4–6-minute opening monologue that replaces the missing host, hook the invisible studio audience and phantom expert guests, set up three burning sub-questions, and hand over to the non-existent

The most sophisticated topic-pivot drill ever designed for advanced speakers: two completely unrelated, globally sourced, high-level questions appear simultaneously (e.g., “How important is silence in modern relationships?” + “Should governments subsidise space tourism?”).

The most flamboyant fluency arena in Grandomastery: you instantly become an outrageously extravagant persona (think Liberace meets RuPaul meets Oscar Wilde). A provocative topic appears, together with a famous quote that has been secretly “shifted” (every vowel or consonant moved +1 in the alphabet: “Hello” → “Ifmmp”). Your mission: deliver a 2–4-minute spoken tour-de-force that: drips with over-the-top flair and personal style, seamlessly code-meshes multiple registers, acce
