Once the participants for the upcoming debate are chosen, they undergo rigorous training. It starts with the preparation of the text or material of the debate, which is studied, heavily scrutinized & corrected till it is perfect. To achieve this, a lot of research is done on the topic at hand.

After the material is finalized, it is feed into the dicta phone, so that the participants can practice with it even at home.
