Tips: Before you go any further you need to know:
WHO you are writing your speech for (the audience)
WHAT your speech is going to be about (its topic)
– the main points ranked in order of importance with supporting research
How long it needs to be eg.3 minutes, 5 minutes…
The basic speech format is simple. It consists of three parts:
An opening or introduction: Ideally you want an opening that makes listening to you the oonly thingthat the audience want to do. The answer is to capture their interest straight away. You do this with a “hook”
Here’s an example from a fictional political speech. The speaker is lobbying for votes. His audience are predominately workers whose futures are not secure.
“How’s your imagination this morning? Good? (Pause for response from audience) Great, I’m glad. Because we’re going to put it to work starting right now. I want you to see your future. What does it look like? Are you happy? Is everything as you want it to be? No? Let’s change that. We could do it. And we could do it today. At the end of this speech you’re going to be given the opportunity to change your world, for a better one … No, I’m not a magician or a simpleton with big ideas and precious little commonsense. I’m an ordinary man, just like you. But I have a plan to share!
The body where the bulk of the information is given: incorporate your examples and research. Link them together making sure each flows in a smooth, logical progression
A link can be as simple as:
“We’ve explored one scenario for the ending of Block Buster 111, but let’s consider another. This time…”
An ending (or summary) You want it to live on in the minds of your listeners long after your speech is finished. Often it combines a call to aaction witha summary of major points.
“You have three weeks from the time you leave this hall to make that dream family holiday in New Zealand yours. Can you do it? Will you do it? The kids will love it. Your wife will love it. Do it now!
