The speaker decides on the topic to deliver or commonly, but not all the time, the topic is already given. The topic is the central theme of certain program, gathering, occasion, group discussion or presentation. Timeliness of the speech or the occurrence at the present time is to be considered unless the ceremony requires talking about history. The topic should be interesting to the assigned speaker for him/her to write and deliver the best thoughts and share an insightful perspective and also be able to capture interest above all the audience. ‘To draw out fresh perspective from the audience, you may choose a new or a never-before heard topic or to encourage audience to keenly listen to your speech. A controversial topic shall do the magic; however, you must throw caution to air as intriguing questions might arise. If conflict starts to surface between what you want to say and what your listeners want to hear, a careful planning should be done beforehand. In this lesson, you are about to learn the different principles in speech writing, its different stages or processes and you are about to make a sample plan before writing your actual speech. ‘The Speech Writing Process Just like events planning, or any other activities, writing an effective speech follows certain steps or processes. The process for writing is not chron- ological or linear; rather, it is recursive. That means you have the opportunityto repeat a writing procedure indefinitely, or produce multiple drafts first be- fore you can settle on the right one. ‘The following are the components of the speech writing process. Before Writing © Audience analysis entails looking into the profile of your target audience. This is done so you can tailor-fit your speech content and delivery to your audience. The profile includes the following information. © The purpose for writing and delivering the speech can be classified into three—to inform, to entertain, or to persuade. © The topic is your focal point of your speech, which can be determined once you have decided on your purpose. © Narrowing down a topic means making your main idea more specific and focused. The strategies in selecting a topic can also be used when you narrow down a topic. © Data gathering is the stage where you collect ideas, information, sources, and references relevant or related to your specific topic. Writing Stage Writing patterns, in general, are structures that will help you organize the ideas related to your topic. Pattem Description Biographical Presents the description of your life or of a famous person, ‘Categorical/ Topical Presents related categories supporting the topic Caueal Presents the cause and effet relationships ‘Chronological Presents the idea in time order ‘Comparison and Contrast Presents the comparison /contrast of two or three points Problem -Solving Presents identified problams, its causes and recommendations © An outline is a hierarchical list that shows the relationship of your ideas. Experts in public speaking state that once your outline is ready, two-thirds of your speech writing is finished. © The ody of the speech provides explanations, examples, or any details that can help you deliver your purpose and explain the main idea of your speech. The following are some strategies to highlight your main idea.Present real-life or practical examples Show statistics Present comparisons Share ideas from the experts or practitioners ‘The introduction is the foundation of your speech. Here, your primary goal is to get the attention of your audience and present the subject or main idea of your speech. The following are some strategies. Use a real-life experience and connect that experience to your subject. Use practical examples and explain their connection to your subject. Start with a familiar or strong quote and then explain what it means. Use facts or statistics and highlight their importance to your subject. Tell a personal story to illustrate your point. The conclusion restates the main idea of your speech. Furthermore, it pro- vides a summary, emphasizes the message, and calls for action Post Writing Stage © Editing/Revising your written speech involves correcting errors in me- chanics, such as grammar, punctuation, capitalization, unity, coherence, and others. Andrew Dulugan (2013), an award winning public speaker, lists six power principles for speech editing. Y Edit for focus. Ensure that everything you have written, from introduction to conclu- sion, is related to your central message. Y Edit for clarity. Make all ideas in your speech clear by arranging them in logical order (e.g, main idea first then supporting details, or supporting details first then main idea). Y Edit for concision. Keep your speech short, simple, and clear by eliminating unrelated sto- ries and sentences, and by using simple words, Y Edit for continuity. Keep the flow of your presentation smooth by adding transition words and phrases. v Edit for variety. Add spice to your speech by shifting tone and style from formal to con- versational and vice-versa, moving around the stage, or adding humor. ¥ Edit for impact and beauty. Make your speech memorable by using these strategies: surprise the audience, use vivid descriptive images, write well-crafted and memorable lines, and use figures of speech. ess ennssy © Rehearsing gives you an opportunity to identify what works and what does not work for you and for your target audience.FeAD. scones I.
