How to make a speech?

Speech is the faculty of uttering articulate sounds or words; the faculty of expressing thoughts by words or articulate sounds; the power of speaking. The process to make a speech is important than the information.

In general the following will also help:

  • Put your speech on numbered cue cards for professional presentation.
  • Speak clearly and distinctly. It's no good giving a fascinating speech if no one can hear it!.
  • Make sure there is enough light for you to see you speech
  • Take some deep breaths before you start to calm your nerves.
  • Personalise your piece. Everyone likes to hear a true story. Then practise, practise and practise!
  • If you use a microphone hold it about nine or ten inches away from your mouth. Don't swallow it! Make sure the microphone is free-standing so your hands are free for your cue cards.
  • Leave them laughing. A funny incident is always popular.
  • Make it short. Your audience should want to hear more not less.
