Does anyone have a good idea for a speech subject?

Use an old paper that you got an A on and turn it into a speech.  I did this often in my speech class... I'd take an essay I had to write for english (with a good grade) and make a speech out of it.  Chose something you feel passionate about (this is important - because if you get lost during the speech, you can say anything that comes to mind)... write up an intro, three points, and a conclusion.  Simple.

Show that you know and understand the audience's needs and concerns.  Address these needs and concerns, showing that what you propose is the best of all the possible alternatives.\n\nIt helps to be warm, friendly and humorous.

There are numerous topics you could cover. Here's some topics that you can start with for your speech (they're based on current events):\n\n- Gas Prices: Will they continue to go up or down?\n- Will we travel in Space like we travel in cars in the near future?\n- Will we have a republican in the White house as our next president?\n- Will we have books in the future or will everthing be on computers?\n- Will robots become our new pets?\n- How small will cell phones get?\n- What is the future of music?\n- Will human genetics be able to be changed in the future?\n- Will extraterrestrials ever visit earth?\n- Will the war end in Iraq?\n\nThese questions should help you to flesh out what you want to say. You'll need to do some research on the topics though, but they are broad enough topics to get you started on your speech.\n\nHope that helps!\n\n~JYH

There are so many ideas for that - I would suggest something that you have an interest in which could range from government involvement in the record industry to agricultural legislation.  Enjoy!!!

Aaaa ... ok. Now I see the fine print. I was going to suggest you tweak your quote to something like, "to be a great speaker, you really need ideas." Maybe you can rework it in a clever way to include both ideas.

I suggest the following seminar topics on the computer.\n\n(1) If the discussion is about the usefulness and the nuissances of the computer, the topic, which can suit is:\n"Computer, a boon or bane of the modern world".\nHere bane is used for nuissance.\n\n(2) If the discussion is about the ideal performances, the topic can be:\n"Is Computer taking place of the human brains?"\n\n(3) If the discussion will be merely on the technology, the topic can be:\n"Brainy Computers for the next generations"

good luck, power point presentations are about the most broing thing ever.  try to make your speech more exciting so you're not just reading slides.  nothing is more boring then that and people feel like you wasted their time.

How about selling a "Program" that a person could get to put\nsome idea they have to the public?\nGood luck!

Well, a good topic for public speaking would be the problems facing the world at the moment with a possible bird flu (avian flu)pandemic and the shortage of fresh water. Either of those topics would be interesting. Good luck.

I am proud of you or anyone your age who is willing to learn about political processes, including speech writing, and making them.\n\nFirst you obviously need to put together an organized presentation. As far as writing one, what I do is to write out all my thoughts in as much order as they come out. then i sort as to which ones fit a category, arranging the categories in a logical \norder. Proofread & add any thoughts that come along. Keep proofreading & making changes until it feels like it flows. The more you do this, the easier & better it becomes.\n\nIf you also have to read it, What I do is to learn all I can about what I am talking about, & then (GULP) throw away the script. For me, this is the most comfortable way to give a speech. \n\nI do well at public speaking & am quite comfortable doing it as long as I stick with what I know. If I hit a snag while talking, I readily admit I am lost, have a "brain fart - (you better use softer language),  or "I don't know" These are perfectly acceptable answers. And it is enormously less stressful to be honest rather than to bluff your way through.\n\nA final note. Do the best you can, & let that be good enough. No one can ask for us to do or be better than our best. ( That could be part of your speech, if you want. It fits well)\n\nFrom the way you wrote your question, I think you deserve that award. It is not only well organized, but also grammatically correct, including spelling. Do check your capital letters - especiall the "I s". Good luck. You will do well.

Just find something you are very captivated or interested in and make it narrow enough so that the structure can be branched off to create organisation. its not about what you talk about, its all about how you talk about. if im right about this speech criteria. many things are argueable* \n~spence ; )

To give a truly great speech, you should pick a topic that you are really passionate about. When I taught, I always enjoyed the speeches that began with a question. They caught my attention and got me thinking about the topic immediately.\nRemember to do your research and present both facts and opinions. It's also good to sometimes argue both sides of the topic.\n~ Good Luck ~

1) Assess your audience\n2) Try to create 3 main points. Humans can remember things in 3s very easily\n3) Support your statements\n\nOH YEA, it helps to smile, and like the poster below me says, it doesnt hurt to tell a joke or life story related to the speech. give the audience something they can relate to.\n\nMost of all, practice, practice, practice.

~~ a fun idea would be if you do not have to write the story yourself is to look up story jokes on the internet and find pictures to illustrate the joke.... for some more ideas on what to make your presentation about go to power point fun (see link below) sign up for a free membership and you can download tons of power points that you could use as ideas for making your own ~~

I'm not going to write you a speech, but I'll give you a theme:\n\nProgress is that which needs proactive problem solving, in modern society those problems may just exist as commercial ventures or may exist as security issue which needs solution or there are many other examples. \nWhen Content a person (the smallest part of society) is less likely to have problems that need solving as there are few challenges to overcome, so they don't need feel the need to progress or solve problems that they don't have. IE make their lives better. Give them problems and percentage will be unable to solve it but those that are capable will solve the problem for the others. In an age of mass media fewer people are needed to direct change or make progress and those who are content are happy for those who are not to take charge for them. Motivation to effect change is that which prevents contentment.\n\nAnyway lost it a bit in the middle but flesh it out a bit work on the themes and thats your speech.

Select a topic you are knowledgeable on already. \n\nIf you have a pet, you could tell how to feed and train it, when to take it to the vet, etc.\n\nIf you have a hobby, that would make a good topic - genealogy, collecting buttons, etc.\n\nPut a little humor into your speech - that will make it go over!\n\nHere is a site that lists some specific topics for an informative speech.\nhttp://personal.bgsu.edu/~ramune/infotopics.html
