 FACTS
 Those who give a good speech make it look easy and
effortless.
 A stiff speech that feels rehearsed or sounds like it was
written by someone else is rarely effective or not
memorable.

 To start a good speech, begin with an attention-grabbing,

compelling opening story
 FACTS
 Make sure that your examples and anecdotes are
specific.

 When trying to prove a point or move your audience

with emotion, be sure that any examples you provide
support your speech and that they are specific and
concrete.

 The conclusion should be short and to the point.

 WHAT ARE THE TOP QUALITIES OF A
GOOD SPEECH?
1. It must have a main idea
A single theme. Research has proven that it is very difficult to
remember and lot of detail when listening to a speech, so be sure to
start with one main idea. What is the point of your speech? What do
you want the audience to come away knowing, understanding or
feeling? Start from there and then work backward.
 2.
The use of anecdotes
Use anecdotes. Rather than a laundry list of reasons why your point
is true or significant, try to find a story or an anecdote that supports
the theme you are trying to express. Stories are naturally engaging,
and people tend to remember them better than exposition or lectures
about the same topic. Don't Argue, let your point do better with the
use of short relevant stories.
 3. Conversational tone.
Write your speech in the same voice in which you speak. I'm other
words, Write your speech in your very own language and be sure to
write the point as short as possible so as to pick the points
conveniently while delivering the speech.

4. Humor.
Use humor when and where appropriate. Of course, not every
situation and speech is going to call for humor, but if you can present
the information you are hoping to convey in the context of a
humorous story or anecdote, then do so
 CONCLUSION
 No matter what your topic is, your speech must be
organized.
 The beginning must lead to a middle and the middle must
lead to an end.
 If you are not organized, your speech will appear same
 Organizing your ideas can help you to gain clarity on the
things you're discussing before you write, so you can be
sure that your speech flows smoothly and isn't confusing
to your audience.
