Speech Karaoke is just like traditional karaoke, except that participants choose a speech from the karaoke folder instead of a song. The selection of speeches ranges from world famous historical speeches to local and private speeches. Speech Karaoke will for the first time take place in Helsinki, at the Helsinki Festival Week club at Kansallisteatteri and at Kiasma.
