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 better question might be something like, "Can I write a coherent sentence?"

In college I did one on Saint Bernards.  For my visual, At this end of the speech I had my bf wait outside with my dog a (Saint Bernard) and he brought him in the class.  The instructor LOVED it and I got an A!\nAnyway, just give a speech on something you love, or a hobby or something.  That way you wont have any problem coming up with something to say.

i know this one...   (being you as much as it takes)\n  first you have to speak loud enough and as loud as you need to be heard, dont over do it though\n  second you need to shorten the sentences you speak as little as possible (short sentences) because any human tend to lose people when one says alot enough before they can answer back to them.\n  third which matters to only a few, is the speed of words said accurately with minimal slurs in your speech\n  does this help? WOULD U GIVE THIS A BEST ANSWER?

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!

the #1 key to making a good speech is to believe in what you are saying %100. \n\neven if you dont neccessarily agree with the topic of the speech, speaking with conviction will make your speech more effective and boost your confidence while speaking.\n\ninstead of thinking about what people will think or how well you will do, just try to speak as if your only goal is to convince one person in the room that what you are saying is true. \n\nand dont just ramble off a bunch of facts. put things into context and give examples that will relate your subject matter in many different ways. \n\ngiving a good speech is a matter of interacting with your audience, not lecturing them.

So I said to the guy, "Here's what you have to do." \n\nAnd he responded, "What! Just tell me!?" \n\n"You have to start a new paragraph each time a different person speaks," I said. "Start each thing a person says with quotation marks, and end it with proper punctuation." \n\n"What's proper punctuation in this case?" he asked. \n\n"Well," said I, "it's a period or question mark at the end of a quotation if the sentence ends with the quotation or a comma if the sentence continues with more text." \n\n"Follow these rules," she bragged, "and use my writing as an example. I have been writing professionally for 20 years and guarantee that this is all accurate."

Unless you can express yourself much better, you will have some real problems. Start with a statement, qualify that statement (explain it), and then in your conclusion bring out the major points and justifications.

It sounds like you already have written the speech.\n\nTo simplify the process, you need an introduction, a body and a conclusion. \n\nIntro: you introduce what you want to say. In your case, even greetings and why all are present. \n\nIn the body: tell them what you want them to do or know. Do you want them to get to know each other. Build relationships, enjoy the evening, have fun, etc. \n\nThen conclusion: re-phrase the body into an action statement. Have a great time.\n\nNo need for overt jokes. Covert jokes however can work. If your company is known for being strict on policy and procedure, create a factious policy and assign a number and include it in the speech. He could say something like, " in your hand book on page 33 (if yours is only 32 pages) it says specifically, all employees are expected to have fun at such gatherings or what ever.

Read the texts that you have to write on. Then read it again. Underline the main points. Take out 3 to 5 ideas that you disagree with and 3-5 points that that you agree with. Thensit down and write. If it is posible, write down how these ideas apply "now and here".

Its always good to break the ice with a joke or witty remark. Dont worry about being nervous and shaky, if you are doing a speech for school everyone knows what you feel like. Be your natural self - dont try to be extremely proper or news anchorman like. Just be yourself, study what you wanna say, so you dont have to use to many notes. Use gestures and mimik where appropriate.
