We LOVE to provide great quality personal speeches for our clients - but if you are more of a DIY kinda person, here are some tips to help you create a speech that can help you stand out from the crowd! 

 You Just Have to Think Outside the Box!

​

How Do You Pick the Right Topic or Subject?

• Make it personal

• Write about something you love

• Tell a story (tell YOUR Story if you can)

Write with your delivery in mind

• Use punctuation to indicate where to breathe and transition

• Be intentional in your transitions to assist with memorization

• Bold or underline words to show where to stress inflections

• Use spacing to help you with transitions and memorization

Writing Tips:

• Stay on topic - don't get lost along the way

• Use humor or emotions to motivate your audience

• Book-End your speech to bring your story full circle

• Don't get to wordy - Keep It Simple!

• Avoid tongue twister phrases (especially if you struggle)
