Writing a speech is an art and requires more than just knowing your way around words --- lucky for you it can be learnt.
While writing a speech for class can be extremely nerve-wracking, it also helps boost your confidence.
Before we start and learn the process of effective speech writing; it is important to understand the different types of speeches.
Conversational Tone
A mistake that students often make is that they write their speech similar to how they would write an essay or paper.
Remember, that although you are writing the speech, but the audience won’t read it --- they will hear it from you.
So write it in a conversational tone, focus on your body language and build the trust of your reader.
Touch all the main points in a logical flow
Prioritize your main points and talk about them accordingly. Know all the key points and repeat them for emphasis.
Clearly, state each of your main points and give additional information and evidence (statistics, facts, etc.)
Include transitions/links
Use transitions to maintain the flow of your speech and help the audience understand the connection between each point.
Don’t abruptly move on to the next point use the following transition words:
Before, after, then, next, secondly, in addition to that, in the following month, etc.
End with a call-to-action
Conclude your speech with a call-to-action, encourage the audience to find out more about the topic. Tell them how they can participate in finding out the solution to your mentioned problem.
Make it more engaging
To make your speech more encouraging for the audience make sure of the following:
Avoid long and complex sentences.
Opt for nouns rather than pronouns
Repeat keywords a few times
Go easy on the numbers and figures
Use visual aids
Practice and look for improvement
This was all you need to know for writing an effective speech. However, delivering the speech holds equal importance.
The best way to practice is reading your speech aloud and in front of family or friends.
