Researching for Effective Speech Writing

Effective speech writing relies on knowing your subject matter

It doesn't matter what your speech is about, you won't be able to write effectively if you don't have a clue what to say.

An easy way to learn more is to research.

Different Research Methods

Chatting

Chat to anyone who might have that great snippet to shed a different perspective.
  • Family
  • Friends
  • Work Colleagues
  • Sporting Buddies
  • Club Members
Their memories might need prodding so have some questions ready.

Take a note pad to write down what they say so don't have to return because you've forgotten what they said. Check with them first before using a recording device.

And remember to thank them for their time

Use the Internet

Wow your guests with some interesting fact or figures. The internet has some great resources.

Quotes

Using a quote in the opening lines helps set the speech tone.

  • Humorous quotes- great for funny and light hearted speech
  • Serious quotes- perfect for attention getting opening line
  • Quotes from the receipent hero - adds the persona touch

Don't include too many otherwise it looses it's personal touch

If the quote needs an explanation, do not use it. An explanation will lessen its impact as well as use up your speech time.
