Notas do Editor
- Everything you write should be written with your purpose in mind. If the main purpose of your speech is to entertain, don’t simply tell a string of jokes or funny stories. Leave that to the stand up comedians. Your speech should entertain but it should do more. . .
- The beginning of your speech should grab the audience and hold their attention and it has to do it from the beginning. Once you’ve grabbed the attention of the audience, you have to do a few other things before you dive into the body of your speech.
- When you start to write your masterpiece, you’ll want tot tell people everything. Don’t! limit your points to 3, almost everyone agrees that three is the best number. Make sure that your main points are in logical order. This helps the audience follow your speech and it helps you to remember. If your speech has 3 points and you’re not sure what order to put them in, arrange them in ascending order of importance with your best material last. Don’t be afraid to use emotion in your speeches. Plain old facts and logic can only go so far, we often make our decision using emotion and feelings. The best speakers move us o action via our emotions.
- If the beginning of your speech has to grab the attention of the audience, the ending has to leave them with something memorable to do, to act on, to think about, to give them hope.
- When you deliver your final words, it shud be obvious o the audience that you’ve finished. . . . It is the cue of the audience to applaud. No matter how sad the occasion. How bleak your message, always leave the audience feeling good. Even if all you can do is give them hope for the future- motivate the audience to take action.
- They let the audience know that you are moving to new section or to a new point. Any short phrase can be used as a transition but here are a few to give you the idea. Don’t just change direction. . .use your indicators and let the audience know where you’re going.!
- 2. Strong opening, strong close. 3. The beginning shud be about 10-15 percent of your speech, the ending shud be about 5-10 percent. 4. After you’v written your body and conclucion, you’ll know wat ur introducing. Then write the introduction. 5. By reapeting at the end of your speech the idea, quotation, image or watever u offered in the introduction, u giv the audience the feeling of coming home again…this gives a wonderful sense or completeness to your speech. 6.All good speech writers will tell you that there’s no such thing a good writing, only good rewriting. 7. After u have written and deliverd a few speeches, you will be able to corrolate the number of words to the time taken. 8. Don’t decie on your title until you have written your speech.
- Slouching or leaning on the wall tells your listeners that you don’t care about your subject and they will be less likely to give their attention. ( It could also hurt your grade.) It might be uncomfortable speaking directly to your audience, but it makes you look confident and keeps your listeners attention. Just be careful not to carried away. You want people to care more about what you say than what your arms are doing. As if you really believe in what u are saying. Persuade your audience effectively. For any extended length of time although it is quite acceptable to glance at your notes infrequently. Speak loudly and clearly. Do not mumble. If you made an error correct it, and continue. No need to make excuses or apologize profusely. Allow yourself and your audience a little time to reflect and think. Wenever appropriate and possible. Keep ur audience interested throughout your entire presentation. Remember that an interesting speech makes time fly, but boring speech is always too long to endure even if the presentation time is the same. If you are excited about your topic, everyone else will be more interested in what you have to say and you will look more confident (even if you are nervous). Take a deep breath, and stay calm. Delivering a speech can be frightening, but you can do it.
- Elocution is the study of formal speaking in pronunciation, grammar, style, and tone.
- Be comfortable as u stand in front of the audience It would also help you boost your confidence. Keep in mind that what you feel inside is show tru that face. Do not begin emmediatly once ur up on stage. Acknowledge first the presence of the audience. U can do this by moving ur eyes on them following an inaginary M as u take in everyones presence. Actions shud not be memoriezed but rather acted as one feels. This is important so that u won’t look like a robot. If u forget some lines, do not let the audience percieve dat u have forgotten ur piece. Continue speaking which you have rememberd. IT IS ADVISABLE TO USE FEW MOVEMENTS. BUT THEN AGAIN, ACT AS YOU FEEL.
