Answer 1

1st:

OMG! DUO INTERP! I'M IN THAT CATEGORY TOO! OHSSL! Feel free to message me, friend, w/e.

Now down to buisness.

In my (1) year of experience, it seems to be a trend (and a correct one) that girl-girl duos often do (and do BETTER) with a dramatic duo piece.

The piece I performed (with my female partner, I am male btw) was entitled "Go Toward the Light". It was about a boy, named Ben, who contracts AIDS. Very touching, we got people to cry, and qualified for states.

Another very INTENSE piece (again dramatic) was entitled "Night Mother". It is about a girl who decides to kill herself, and her battle with her mother, who tries to prevent it. They placed 2nd at a prestigious tournament in our area.

Another, not so dramatic, but interesting...horror, piece was entitled "The Insanity of Mary Jirard (Girard?)". It is about a pregnant woman, trapped in an insanity ward of a hospital, and her struggling with her voices, and trying to make sense of her situation. 2 teams I saw did it. 1, frankly, was bad. The other, however, sent CHILLS up my spine, with a very creppy rendition.

Mushroomcloudpress.com also provides many speech pieces.

I hope these suggestions help, just make sure you LIKE the piece. Then work from there to make it your own.
