Let’s Explore and Discover
As you begin to prepare for any speech, it’s important to pin down exactly
about what you plan to talk. You might have been given a specific topic, or you may
be simply invited to speak at an event where the topic is up to you. Knowing how to
carefully select your topic is an important first step in preparing for a successful
speech.
Start by thinking about your venue. Where will you be giving your speech?
To whom will you be speaking? Then, start to think about what you know about
the topic, and move towards those subjects or tangents about which
you don’t know. It’s helpful to speak about a topic with which you are already
familiar, but sometimes you may be called into situations where you have no prior
knowledge about a given subject.
It is important to create an outline before you deliver your speech, as it will
act as your guide to effectively sequence your information and ensure you touch on
all your main points. Outlining allows you to ensure your speech flows smoothly.
How should one write a speech? Here are some tips for you!
Guidelines in Speech Writing
1. Keep your words short and simple. Your speech is meant to be heard by your
audience, not read.
2. Avoid jargon, acronyms, or technical words because they can confuse your
audience.
3. Make your speech more personal. Use the personal pronoun “I,” but take care not
to overuse it.
When you need to emphasize collectiveness with your audience, use the personal
pronoun “we.”
4. Use active verbs and contractions because they add to the personal and
conversational tone of your speech.
5. Be sensitive of your audience. Be very careful with your language, jokes, and
nonverbal cues.
6. Use metaphors and other figures of speech to effectively convey your point.
7. Manage your time well; make sure that the speech falls under the time limit.
