To be convincing among a group it helps to be a good orator and state your ideas clearly and efficiently. If you stumble around through your ideas people are less likely to think you're prepared and able to carry out a leadership role.

1) Brainstorm.  Start with a list of everything that you can think of that you may want to include in your speech.  This is a stage where you generate ideas, so turn off your censor/editor and WRITE EVERYTHING down that you can think of.  Even if your ideas are dumb, they may help you think of other ideas after you have something written down.  Set a time limit for brainstorming so that you have to think quickly.  try 2-5 minutes.\n\n2) Pick your best idea and start with that.  In a speech, it's good to start with something unusual, something memorable, funny, etc.  Don't start with the boring stuff.  You want people to lean in to listen.\n\n3) If you're trying to think of an approach to start, you could begin with:\n\n--Your first impressions of the two teachers.\n--Accomplishments that people may not know about the teachers.\n--Statistics about how many students they've impacted, or some accomplishments of the students they've instructed.\n--Point out/remind people of a lovable/quirky trait about the teachers.  Like a common phrase they use or their trademark green sweater and purple tie, who knows?  (Be careful not to offend) \n\n4) After you have a rough draft of the speech, read it out loud.  If it doesn't sound like you're having a normal conversation, edit it so that it sounds like you're talking to someone.\n\n5) Rehearse the speech to a person who doesn't know the teachers.  Ask for honest feedback about areas that could be improved/shortened/lengthened.\n\n6) Rehearse the speech to a person who does know the teachers.  Ask if it's a speech that honors them, and again honest feedback for improvement.\n\n7) More ideas on brainstorming:  When I was a writing tutor, I often had to get students to brainstorm on a topic that they felt stumped on.  I'd ask them some questions about their topics similar to the following prompts.\nTry any of these prompts to get you going, and freewrite about them:\n\n--If each teacher was a color, what color would he/she be and why?\n\n--What would your grandmother have to say about these teachers?\n\n--Name some traits about these teachers that you wish you had.\n\n--Name some things about these teachers that most people don't have.\n\n--Why could this teacher never be replaced?\n\n--List some things about these teachers that students may not know.\n\n--If the teacher was a character from Shakespeare/Bible/Dickens/ (other classic literature), who would he/she be, and why?\n\n--If the teacher was a character from The Real World/The O.C./Survivor/Desperate Housewives/(Other popular show), who would he/she be, and why?\n\nGood luck on generating ideas!

Practice your speech in front of friends/family first.  They will give you good practice and help suggest things you might not have noticed like you're moving your hands around too much.\nPut the speech in perspective.  Talk as though your speech is the most important thing in the world and you need to get out there and let the world know what you have to say.\nYou are too focused on what people will think and truthfully no one will really remember.\nAlso practice daily visualization of your perfect speech.  Imagine over and over how well it will go.  Don't negativity into your mind.  And just do it!  Turn your fear into a nice rush.\nEverything will go okay.

My speech teacher had us look just over the top of the audience heads. He had up proactice at home in front of a mirror. I would practice my speeches with a tape recorder. I would have my husband or a friend listen to me. I found practice helped build confidence. Then the more you do, the easier it gets. Just practice...practice ...practice

Here are some more thoughts ....\n\nMake sure you project your voice, and make your voice interesting and expressive. Speak clearly, and slower than you would if you were just chatting with friends. Don't move around while speaking - try to stand in one spot, which makes it easier for those listening. Don't fidget. Try to use some humor. Use an ice breaker for the beginning of your presentation. One good one is to get everyone to tell something they have done that they think no one else in the room has done. You find out lots of interesting stuff about the group. Start on time and finish on time. Get their attention - don't try to talk over a lot of noise. Find ways to involve them - try to plan some activity that will teach them something and that will fit well in your time frame. Dress in a manner that suits your topic.\n\nI hope this helps.

i've been speaking in front of groups for 25 years.  What works best for me are:\n\n  - Practice speech ahead of time\n  - Always use questions in talks (brings audience into presentation)\n\nIf this is not a formal presentation, and you're just meeting some people for networking, I always practice ahead of time points of discussion.  I usually avoid politics and religion.\n  Fair game are sports, what do you do for a living?, do you have children?  I use a little mnemonic\n\n  F - family (have kids?  what does spouse do?)\n  O - occupation (what do u do for living?)\n  R - recreation (what do u do for fun?  tennis?...)\n  M - motivation (what excites you?  movies? ...)\n\ngood luck\nted

Try these steps: \n\n1. Look around you and see if there's an object with interesting helpful, funny or valuable technical features. \n\nThese lists helped me figuring out ideas:\n\nhttp://www.speech-topics-help.com/demonstration-speech-topics.html\nhttp://www.speech-topics-help.com/expository-speech-topics.html\nhttp://www.speech-topics-help.com/visual-aid-speech-topics.html\n\n2. Show how the object works, demonstrate the steps, tell and show what you can do with it, how it is made and why you want have chosen it.\n\n3. And - to keep them awake - let them try the features themselves. React on their comments and questions!

Prepare your speech now, using an outline and practice practice practive. Use a mirror first and get used to seeing yourself in the mirror to critique yourself first. Then, find an audience---anyone, your dog, your family, your friend, even your plant for that matter. Maybe even set up a room similiar to the one you will be giving the speech using different items/people as your audience and practice eye contact ahead of time. The more you practice, the better prepared you will be. Just don't practice too much, or your presentation will appear just that and you want to look knowledgable, not rehearsed. \n\nGood luck.

Just speak from your heart. Try to think of a main point to make, and then some supporting points. Start with something to get their attention, then end with a summary of what you spoke about. \n\nPractice in front of mirror a few times, don't memorize word for word, just memorize an outline.\n\nMake eye contact with a few people around the room.\n\nTry to avoid saying um...\n\nYou'll do great!

In my experience a clear accent and proper sentence formation (i.e. words in the right order, although this can be subjective) really help. Using slang does not really help as it can often be wrongly used - as you say grammar and vocabulary are key.

Practice.\nTry using different kinds of speech. \nTry to put customer service as the number one priority.\nTry writing your words and sentences before on a piece of paper and practice talking before. Record it and hear it yourself.

You need to take a deep breath and get your thoughts in order. Do not speak straight away, visualise your speech then start slowly. Do not rush. Also, practice in front of your friends and family or even in front of the mirror.It really helps!
