How to write a speech : construction

Pen and paper The basic 'how to write a speech' format is simple. It consists of three parts:

an opening or introduction
the body where the bulk of the information is given
and an ending (or summary).

Think of it as a sandwich. The opening and ending are the slices of bread holding the filling (body) together. You can build yourself a simple sandwich with one filling or you can go gourmet and add up to three or even five. The choice is yours. But whatever you choose to serve, as a good cook, you need to consider who is going to eat it. And that's your audience.

So with them in mind, let's prepare the filling first.

How to Write a Speech: Step One

Begin with the most important idea/point on your outline.

Consider HOW you can explain (show, tell) that to your audience in the most effective way for them to easily understand it.

Before you start writing read the suggestions below for writing well out-loud.

The main consideration in 'how to write a speech' is always your audience. A good speech is never written from the speaker's point of view.

(Need to know more about why? Check out building rapport.)

Identify either a real person or the type of person who is most likely to be in your audience.

Make sure you select someone who represents the 'majority'. That is they are neither struggling to comprehend you at the bottom of your scale or light-years ahead at the top.

Now imagine they are sitting next to you eagerly waiting to hear what you're going to say. Give them a name, for example, Joe, to help make them real.

Ask yourself:

How do I need to tailor my information to meet Joe's needs?

For example, do you tell personal stories illustrating your main points?
This is a very powerful technique. You can find out more aboutstorytelling in speeches here.

What type or level of language is right for Joe as well as my topic?

How to Write a Speech: Step Two

Write down what you'd say as if you were talking directly to them.
If it helps, say everything out loud before you write and/or use a recorder.
After you've finished, take notes.

You do not have to write absolutely everything you're going to say down*but you do need to write the sequence of ideas to ensure they are logical and easily followed.
Remember too, to explain or illustrate your point with examples from your research.

(*Tip: If this is your first speech the safety net of having everything written down could be just what you need. It's easier to recover from a patch of jitters when you have a full set of notes than if you have either none or a bare outline.)

How to Write a Speech: Step Three

Rework Step Two (your first main point) until you've made yourself clear.

Do not assume because you know what you're talking about the person (Joe) you've chosen to represent your audience will too. Joe is not a mind-reader.

Check the 'tone' of your language. Is it right for the occasion, subject matter and your audience?

Check the length of your sentences. If they're too long or complicated you risk losing your listeners.

Have you chosen words everybody will understand?
'There are 5 cent words and $5.00 words. Why use a $5.00 one when a 5 cent one tells it better?'
Example: He 'spat' = 5 cents. He 'expectorated' = $5.00

Read what you've written out loud. If it flows naturally continue the process with your next main idea. If it doesn't, rework.
Remember you are writing 'oral language'.You are writing as if you were explaining, telling or showing something to someone. It doesn't have to be perfect sentences. We don't talk like that. We use whole sentences and part ones and we mix them up with asides or appeals e.g. 'Did you get that? Ofcourse you did. Right...Let's move it along. I was saying ...'
