Mr. Craddock?
I was wondering if these speeches should be more on the witty side or the serious side.

I was already trying to write it to be a bit more snooty sounding, but according to a peer of mine it sounds fairly serious.

SO YES, before I continue to write my speech with a snotty overtone, I'd like to hear back from you.
Thanks!
