Components for putting a great speech together
Outline a beginning, middle, and ending with facts and data to support your speech
A successful speech is consistent with a strong introduction, middle, and end supported by facts and evidence.
-
1A strong introduction (What makes a good introduction)
Your introduction should immediately capture the listener’s attention
An effective introduction hooks listener’s attention and keeps them engaged from the start. Be sure to include these three key components in your speech’s introduction:
Writing a strong introductionA strong introduction includes a captivation first sentence, a brief overview of the speech, and an attention-grabbing sneak preview.
End your introduction with an attention-grabbing preview of the rest of your speech to captivate your audience.
-
2An interesting middle (What keeps a speech interesting in the middle)
Don’t lose steam after your intro, keep your speech interesting when you hit the middle point
Make your speech interactive. Stay on-topic and organized, but avoid repeating information. Mid-speech, consider introducing especially controversial key points relevant to your topic, or nudging listeners by presenting a question. By allowing listeners to consider a question, you’ll help them stay thoughtfully engaged. For instance, consider asking listeners how an aspect of your topic applies to their lives.
Also, vary your tone while you speak. Be sure to pause and let listeners digest what you’ve said before moving on to the next main topic. Incorporating visuals is also helpful. Don’t be afraid to use images and videos.
-
3A strong conclusion, and ending (how to finish strong)
Use the key talking points you established earlier in your speech to drive it home with the ending
Just like starting strong, finishing your speech powerfully is critical. Leave your listeners with a lasting impression. Here’s some points to consider incorporating into your conclusion:
Refresh listener’s memory and re-cap the most important points by summarizing what you’ve talked about.
Suggest how your topic can be expanded or advanced by future discussions and research. In other words, remind readers why it’s relevant or important, and what it means for the future.
Encourage listeners to consider examples of how your topic applies to real-world situations.
-
4Supporting facts and data (research and fact checking)
You’ll need facts and data in order to support your words and use them in an interesting way
Depending on your topic and the goal of your speech, there’s a number of ways you can approach research:
- If your speech is persuasive, search for data that specifically aligns with your argument and incorporate it into your speech as supporting statistics, visuals, facts or congruent opinions.
- If your speech is objective, present a variety of factual evidence on your topic. Scholarly, empirical, peer-reviewed, and/or government sources are generally considered most credible.
- Highlighting others’ quotes, opinions and using a combination of the above-approaches can keep things varied and engaging.
- Know the difference between primary, and secondary sources, and which sources to use.
Differences between primary and secondary sourcesPrimary research is conducted by the researcher, while secondary research is obtained from external sources.
Whether you use video clips, images, quotes, scholarly material or news articles, be sure to cite your sources!
Now, to put your speech together
Once you have your components in order it’s time to turn your parts into a great, memorable speech
Once you figure out the topic of your speech, and how you want to structure it, it’s time to buckle down and start writing. Put a basic outline together, then insert your key speaking points. Once you have all that down, practice and listen to your speech to perfect it!
Step 1: Put your outline together
Figure out where to insert your data, and structure them along with your beginning, middle, and end
This method of organization works well for the PowerPoint and written components of your speech:
Start with a basic outline using headers to differentiate sections such as “introduction,” “main point 1,” and so on.
Next, jot down words, phrases, ideas and research information within each sub-topic of your outline. Start with the basics and add detail as you gather more material.
Don’t worry about making things “sound perfect” at this point. You’re just placing information into categories.
Be sure to include citations with corresponding information so that you can easily cite as you begin writing (without having to take time retracing your steps).
Step 2: Write your speech
Using the components from earlier, start the process of writing the actual speech
Now that you have all your research, information, ideas and citations compiled, begin writing your speech. Sometimes this can be the most challenging part, but don’t worry! The key is to simply begin. So, try not to worry about how the words sound the first time, just start writing what flows.
Once you have your research, ideas and thoughts written in your own words, you can go back a second or third time and revise your sentences.
Step 3: Insert your data at the correct points
Make sure you use the correct facts you gathered earlier at the point in the speech where they will have the most effect
As you revise your written speech and your PowerPoint, be sure to double-check that the facts you’ve used in their respective areas powerfully support the original points you intended to make
Re-read your speech and review your PowerPoint several times to be sure ideas flow clearly and stay on topic. Also, check your speech to be sure all material that needs a reference is correctly cited.
Step 4: Practice speaking and editing
Rehearse your speech until it flows smoothly, and make any necessary edits
As the saying goes, practice does in fact make perfect (or close to it). Practice your speech in front of a friend, or try recording it on your smartphone and playing it back to yourself.
This may be a little nerve-wracking at first, but it will help you identify places you need to improve. Plus, you’ll feel much more comfortable in front of your audience when the time comes to speak.
