Seek and ye shall find

My first question, and I made this riddle.
Given a person you do not know, add me and they become more dangerous
Given a rehearsed speech, add me and then put it on a Victrola
Given an extinct bird, add me and it becomes a popular Indonesian treat
Given an eel trap, add me and it becomes a scheme
What am I?
I expect this to be answered quickly, but have fun nonetheless!

Answer:

I thought of the same thing for the speech, but that word really doesn't mean "rehearsed" at all.
