How to Give a Speech
A speech, in the broadest way, is every encounter you have with every person you ever meet. Whenever you are asked to appear in front of one or more people for the purpose of explaining, educating, convincing, or conveying specific information to them, you have a speech.
The first point is to know the subject and collect relevant information. It is very important that you research every nuance of your subject. Read reports and look up information about the subject with the specific purpose of writing a presentation script. The ability to present a subject with confidence directly affects your audience’s impression and will help keep their attention.
Secondly, know your audience and prepare your script. Identifying who your audiences are will benefit a lot in giving speech in a proper way. To choose better words for different people is wise and they would understand you better. The script does not necessarily have to be a work of literary excellence. The exact form of the script depends on the formality of the speech, the make up of the audience and who will be presenting it. It should consist of four parts, an opening, body, summary and closing.
Both visual aids and handouts help audiences engage with the material you cover. You can imagine how you might use visual aids to stimulate your audience and underline your main point. They can also act as a memory spur to help you stay on track when you are standing in front of your audience.
