What is Speech Writing?

Speech writing is the art of writing a speech for public presentation. There are certain things you need to keep in mind – flow, the ability of the audience to understand you, who your audience is, time limits, and being able to get your point across the first time through.

Tips on how to Write perfect Speeches 

Pick Your Main Ideas
Don’t try to put too many ideas into your speech. Research shows that people remember very little from speeches, so just give them one or two ideas to hang onto. Remember, you only have one minute for your speech!

Write Like You Talk
Remember that you’re writing a speech, not an essay. People will hear the speech, not read it. The more conversational you can make it sound, the better. So try these tips:

• Use short sentences. It’s better to write two simple sentences than one long, complicated sentence.
• Use contractions. Say “I’m” instead of “I am” “we’re” instead of “we are.”
• Don’t use big words that you wouldn’t use when talking to someone.
• You don’t have to follow all the rules of written English grammar.
  “Like this. See? Got it? Hope so.” Your English teacher might be horrified, but people don’t always talk in complete sentences with verbs and nouns. So try to write like people talk.
• Always read your speech aloud while you’re writing it. You’ll hear right away if you sound like a book or a real person talking!

Use Concrete Words and Examples
Concrete details keep people interested. For instance, which is more effective? A vague sentence like “Open play spaces for children’s sports are in short supply.” Or the more concrete “We need more baseball and soccer fields for our kids.“

Get Your Facts Together
You want people to believe that you know what you’re talking about! So you’ll need to do some research. For instance, let’s say your big issue is the environment. You promise to pass a law that says all new cars must run on electricity, not gas. That will cut down on air pollution! But it would help if you had a few facts: How much bad air does one car create each year? How many new cars are sold in the U.S. every year? So how much will pollution be cut every year? Use the library or the Internet to do research. Your new policy proposal will sound really strong if you have the facts to back it up…
