How To Write A Speech

In this guide, we’ll going to cover everything you need to write a speech.

Speech writing is really challenging.

Nervous folks get caught up with emulating the greats: Martin Luther King Jr, Aristotle, Barack Obama.

Even worse: giving the speech? A bigger nightmare.

For some people, public speaking is the worst thing that can happen to them. We’ve all heard that if choosing between death and public speaking, most people would choose the former.

It’s estimated that 75% of people have glossophobia, meaning that they fear public speaking.

But here’s the thing: you can write a great speech AND give it too!

It takes careful analysis of your audience and purpose.

Proper research, speech construction, and practice can alleviate extreme feelings of nervousness.

When you know your material well and master the art of speech writing, public speaking isn’t so bad after all.

You won’t even have to picture anyone in their underwear. Learn the purpose of speech writing, how to write a speech, and how to practice delivery effectively.

Purpose of a Speech

Chances are, you’ve heard a speech at some point that changed your outlook.

A speech with the “I Have a Dream” calibre can define history and become a major marker of societal change.

Speeches can change minds and values.

Of course, not every speech changes history.

A good speech can also get a few laughs at a friend’s bachelor party.

Or ensure that you don’t get fired from your job due to your ad pitch.

Obviously, the purpose behind your speech varies on context.

Any clickbait on YouTube that tells you that speechwriting only takes five minutes is lying. Writing a speech takes careful planning and time.

Speech Types

Speeches can inform, persuade, or simply entertain.

There are a lot of different speeches out there. Consider these types of speeches before diving into yours.

1-Informative

Informative speeches are exactly as they sound. Their purpose is to inform an audience of something new.

For informative speeches, you want to play the role of a teacher.

Make sure your claims are accurate and backed by data.

The speech should be written clearly.

Don’t assume your audience knows about the topic.

Take careful time to explain concepts well.

In the end, your audience should be able to draw their own conclusions, you aren’t looking to persuade them.

2-Persuasive

Persuasive speeches require a tone shift from informative speeches.

You’re trying to convince your audience to change their attitudes, behaviours, or maybe both.

To appeal to your audience, you’ll want to use convincing arguments and data to back up your claims.

Proper audience analysis is essential here, as you’ll want to appeal directly to the people you’re trying to convince.

3-Commemorative

You’re probably more familiar with commemorative speeches than you think.

Think of best man speeches or eulogies, that’s a commemorative speech.

You’re paying respects to a person in these instances, but you can also do so for an idea or an event.

Audience members should feel inspired upon hearing your commemorative speech.

4-Outlining Your Speech

Now that you’re aware of typical types of speeches out there, you can focus more specifically on yours.

Outlining is a super important step that a person shouldn’t skimp on.

A speech with no outline is like a house without a foundation.

You might just get up there to speak and sink.

Before all else, take inventory of the circumstances of your speech with who, what, where, why, when, and how.

We’ll call this “ALPOC” for short. Remember the audience, location, purpose, occasion, and constraints (ALPOC) when outlining your speech.

• Audience – This is the “who” of the speech. Audience analysis is critical for an effective speech. A speech given to neuroscientists is going to sound a lot different from a speech given to kindergarteners. Your audience will help guide you in terms of language and structure. We’ll take this a step further later through audience analysis. But for now, just define your audience.
• Location – The “where” of the speech. Put simply, the location of your speech matters. Will it be a peaceful backyard or a building next to a highway? Maybe it’ll be a massive auditorium that you will need to fill with your voice and words. The location will help you craft your message as well. It’s also an important logistical detail to prepare for if it’s a challenge.
• Purpose – Your “why” of your speech. This one’s important. Why are you willing to stand in front of strangers and give this speech? No pressure! But your “why” is your passion. It will help you craft your ethos with the audience. Think of your “why” when crafting your message and make sure your message shines through.
• Occasion – The “when” of your speech. If this is a convention with loads of speeches, how can you make yours stand out right before lunch? Or perhaps this is a speech on a holiday or for a special event. Incorporate the occasion into the speech if it’s relevant. Or keep your “when” in mind when preparing for your allotted time slot.
• Constraints – The “how” of your speech. Finally, how will you put it all together? Your “how” is determined by time constraints. Make sure you’re timing your speech and cutting out any extra details that could make you go over time.

The Construction of a Speech

With a good understanding of your speech’s purpose, the construction is next. Don’t let this overwhelm you.

Clearly, there are a lot of different types of speeches out there.

Yet, there’s largely a universal structure that all speeches follow: introduction, main ideas, conclusion. Start with this basic outline.

• Introduction – The introduction is a crucial part of your speech. In several seconds, your audience gets to know you. A compelling introduction starts with an attention-getter or a hook. The possibilities are pretty much endless for a good hook. It could be a bold statement, a relevant joke, or a rhetorical question. Whatever you choose, connect with your audience at this moment!

Next, the introduction needs to introduce the topic.

Pretty self-explanatory! You should also explain the relevance to the audience.

Finally, you’ll want to state your thesis or main argument.

You’ll also want to explain your ethos or credibility to the audience.

It’s important to establish goodwill with your audience at this stage.

We’ll discuss this more later.

Finally, you’ll want to briefly introduce the main points of your speech.

A roadmap lets your audience know where the speech is headed.

• Middle – Most speeches follow three main ideas. Outline main ideas 1, 2, and 3. Ask yourself what main points your audience should walk away with. Whether they are informative or persuasive points, this will keep you organized and on track. Make sure that they are defined points, independent of one another.

The content of your main ideas depends on their purpose. In general, you’ll want to have a few main points to highlight.

How you structure it from there depends. Informative speeches may just have 3 main logical points. Persuasive speeches might follow Monroe’s Motivated Sequence. You could use the middle of the speech to establish the need and satisfy it here.

• Conclusion – Wrap up main ideas. Remind your audience briefly of each of your main points. Don’t overdo it here, they don’t want to hear each main point all over again!

Leave the audience with something impactful to think about before closing.

You will do this by remembering your “why” from earlier.

Leave the audience with a nice sentiment if you’re celebrating a person.

Give an impactful call to action if you’re giving a persuasive speech.

Whatever your “why” might be, let your passion shine through. The audience won’t forget you!

When we put this rough outline together, the beginning of a speech emerges.

Say you are convincing your school district to stop using plasticware in the cafeteria. Your speech may look like this:

Hook: There is an estimated 5.25 trillion pounds of plastic in the ocean.

Introduction: School District 123 needs to replace plasticware in the cafeteria with reusable silverware.

Main Point 1: We will help reduce waste

Main Point 2: The school district will save money on materials

Main Point 3: Our school district will set a precedent to combat climate change in other areas

Conclusion: Sign my petition to stop using plastic ware in School District 123, so our school district reduces plastic waste.

There you have it! A full outline. Once you’ve established your outline, it’ll become that much easier to research your topic.

Once you have your main points solidified, you have a solid speech structure.

You’ll want to also flesh out transitions.

Transitions provide flow and clarity to your main ideas.

It is a phrase or statement that allows you to move smoothly from one main point to another.

The links are verbal indicators to your audience that you are moving along to a new idea.

For example, we may have just learned what goes into the body of a speech.

But there are important rhetorical elements that should be added to your rough outline.

We’ll learn more about filling in the speech properly.

There’s more to speech writing than just delivering information.

In this blog, we’re going to talk about how you can write a great speech.

Everyone can write a speech if they have to, but there’s a world of difference between ordinary speeches and those that stand out and become memorable.

A successful speech engages and inspires the audience.

The goal of every speechwriter is to create a lasting impression, preferably to motivate or persuade the listener.

Don’t be saddened by the disappointment of your last speech.

Here are ten steps on how to write a great one:

Step 1 – Get to know your audience first

All it takes is for your speech to be relevant to the audience, but that’s only possible if you know who’s listening to it.

There’s no way to write an effective speech if you don’t even know who you’re delivering it to.

Know why they’re in the event in the first place.

Understand what interests them and can potentially turn them off.

Writing a speech is like walking on thin ice.

As much as you like to express yourself, remember that you have an audience to please.

Step 2 – Understand the nature of the event

Understanding the type of event or occasion is as important as knowing your audience.

Form, length, and the goal of a speech will differ based on the type of gathering.

Giving a speech depends on the circumstances of the occasion, which includes analysis of room size and acoustics.

Even if you’re not the one delivering it, the fact that you’re tasked with writing the speech means you should be conscientious about time restrictions.

Be sure that your message matches the event – the last thing you want is for your audience to deem it inappropriate.

Step 3 – Choose a fitting topic

Choosing a topic for your speech isn’t always about you.

Some experienced speechwriters will tell you to focus on a subject that interests you the most.

It’s true, but a fitting topic must have a balance of enthusiasm and relevance.

In other words, you can’t talk about a subject that you’re so infatuated with when it’s not even relevant to your audience.

Step 4 – Obtain information

To increase your understanding of a topic for your speech, you should collect as much information as possible.

Throw in some relevant questions, too, and answer them.

You or someone else tasked to deliver the speech will never escape the possibility of getting asked questions right after the delivery.

So, it makes sense to prepare for that scenario.

Get your information from interviews with experts, documentation, news reports, and related speeches.

Step 5 – Have a “sit down” with your speaker.

Not every speechwriter gets the chance to deliver the piece.

If you’re writing for someone else, you’re bound to have a conversation with the speaker.

So you must learn about what they want to be said.

The idea is to get insightful or factual information that sounds genuine coming from this specific individual.

Step 6 – Come up with a clear-cut message

The best speech is epitomized in one message.

There must be a single sentence that captures the gist of the entire piece, and it’ll be the focal point of everything you talk about.

It’ll be easier for the audience to grasp the value of your speech when there’s a center point.

No matter how long the delivery, the audience always has that single sentence to go back to when they’re lost in your supporting arguments and points.

Step 7 – Make up your mind when it comes to arguments

To begin drafting your speech, establish the main points you want to make.

Your strategy relies on your objective, but expect it to vary based on how the audience responds.

You should include a wide array of strategies or treatments based on what you intend to communicate with the listeners, but be sure to stick to one message.

Step 8 – Create an outline

Pat yourself on the back once you come up with a clear-cut message and supporting arguments. But your speech isn’t done yet.

Create an outline of the content and how it supports your argument.

All parts tie together to present a single message.

In other words, everything you include in the speech must support an argument, while all arguments must point to the main message.

Step 9 – Start writing

You’d be surprised to know that the actual writing covers a minuscule part of the whole process.

The way to writing a great speech is by covering all the details before you start writing the content within.

This is the part where you unleash your creative side and let your words work their magic.

Write with one thing in mind: organizing all the information you gathered for an impeccable and smooth delivery.

Step 10 – Read it out loud

You’re one step closer to success as soon as you finish your draft.

Now it’s time to read it out loud. Whether you’re delivering the speech yourself or someone else, you must get a first-hand account of how your speech sounds when spoken.

Some adjustments, i.e., hard to pronounce words and awkward phrases, can only be made when you speak them.

The goal is to come up with flawless delivery.

Successful delivery is an entirely different challenge, but you’re halfway there when you’re armed with an inspiring and riveting speech.

Filling in the Speech

Audience Analysis – You took notes on your audience before you started to structure your speech. Now it’s time to analyze them. The detail of your analysis will depend on the speech.

Maybe you only have a short period of time to prepare this speech.

Create a profile on a typical member of your audience.

Consider their age, their occupation, their education level, their income level.

Write down some demographic data on them. Research some demographic data to confirm if you’re correct in your assumptions.

Next, dig deeper.

Consider what this person’s fears are.

What are their desires?

What worries them or annoys them?

Write down your ideas.

Always keep your audience at the forefront of your mind.

It ensures that you’re creating a relevant speech for them.

Give your audience member a name.

Call your profile a name, such as Jane.

Would storytelling appeal to Jane more?

Or maybe hard facts?

Consider what language choices will make the most sense to Jane. You don’t want to lose your audience with fancy jargon.

Finally, examine yourself. How might your biases interact with this audience? Be sure that you are not engaging in any egocentrism.

Proper audience analysis allows you to step outside your perspective. Speak directly to a group of people who may not look like you or share the same beliefs.

Research – Your speech research will depend on the topic. Regardless of your speech’s purpose, you need to research it properly.

Internet research is a good first step.

Search relevant short phrases relevant to your topic in a search engine.

Clarify that any website you use is credible.

Double-check credentials.

If a claim feels off to you, try to find at least three sources that say something similar.

Some may say it’s outdated, but library research never goes out of style.

To ensure you’re consulting experts on your subject, head to your local library.

You can search catalogs similarly to how you did with your internet research.

If you’re not finding what you’re looking for, you can also ask a librarian for additional resources.

Find a mix between internet and book resources.

Depending on your speech’s content, you may also want to conduct interviews.

An interview allows you to dig in-depth with an expert on your subject.

You can infuse direct quotations from the interviewer. This is a great way to back up your claims.

Using Data Effectively – Conducting proper research is essential for an effective speech. However, it’s important to know how to use your data effectively. Use the claim-data-warrant logic structure to infuse data into your main points seamlessly.

• Claim – A statement that states your position on the topic. An ideal claim is logical in nature and specific.
• Data – Data is the evidence you’ve chosen that backs up your claim.
• Warrant – The warrant connects your data to the claim. You’re spelling out how this data proves the claim you made before.

This argumentation model utilizes your data to its full ability. Even if you’re not making a persuasive speech, it’s a roadmap to keep in mind for how main points should be structured. Data doesn’t do much if it’s thrown around without much analysis. Show your audience you did your research. Leave nothing up to their imagination!

Ethos, Pathos, and Logos

There’s a reason Aristotle was a great speechwriter. His rhetorical appeals ethos, logos, and pathos are some of the most effective persuasive methods out there. Let’s start by defining them.

• Ethos – establishing credibility with the audience. Legitimizing yourself as an authority on your subject matter. This is an appeal to ethics. Example: A leading dermatologist stating their title when making a speech on skincare trends.
• Logos – This is an appeal to logic. You’ll use facts and statistics to back up your claims with data. Example: Stating that 1 in 8 women will develop breast cancer in their lifetime in a speech persuading Congress for more funding on breast cancer research.
• Pathos – finally, an appeal to emotion. People love stories. Using emotionally charged language to evoke an emotional response in your audience is a sure way to persuade.

Example: telling a story of a domestic violence survivor in a speech to police for better domestic violence resources in your area.

Why do these appeals matter? They are persuasive methods that get responses. It adds to your existing structure. People tend to believe experts. They’re persuaded by data. They’re moved by stories. Even if your speech is not persuasive in nature, it’s important to keep these methods in mind.

Conversational Writing– Absolutely no one wants to listen to a robot give a speech.

The best way to engage your audience is to write your speech like how you speak.

This may be a mental switch from what you’re used to. But the conversational writing will allow you to perform the speech much more naturally.

For example, use contractions and short sentences. Use words that are easily recognizable to your audience.

Employ literary devices as well. Repetition is a highly regarded literary device for speechwriting. Audience attention can be spotty. Repetition ensures that they heard your message.

Speech Delivery

After writing, you may assume you’re in the clear.

Speech delivery is the second, important half of your speech process!

Unfortunately, people cannot see all the hard work you put into researching and writing your speech. They can only judge you on your performance.

Also, remember ALPOC from earlier?

Consider this outline when planning your delivery.

Pay special attention to the “location.”

You’d have to practice speaking at a much louder volume in a massive auditorium as opposed to a library. Practice your delivery strategy with these tips.

Memorize Your Speech!

Decide how you will perform your speech.

Many speeches are given extemporaneously.

In other words, the speaker has prepared the main points and data.

Maybe they didn’t write out their speech word for word, but they keep a few notes to jog their memory.

Memory is an important rhetorical convention in ancient speech giving.

It allows you to connect with your audience better when you know your material very well.

Consider memorizing your speech to the best of your ability, but don’t over-practice. You don’t want to sound like an overprepared robot.

Tone

Tone is another important delivery element, both in your speech writing and its delivery.

For your speech, consider again your audience.

If you are trying to convey cheerfulness, make sure your writing matches that. It could be short sentences with exclamation points. The pathos used could evoke happiness within your audience.

Reread your speech. Does anything come off as crass or plain boring?

Keep your tone consistent throughout.

Even if your speech is written perfectly, the tone is lost if its performance doesn’t match.

Cheerful tones are best conveyed with a smile.

Your tone of voice should convey warmth and cheer to match.

Rate

Are you naturally a fast talker? This will be something to work on.

The human brain can’t process spoken words as fast as it can read them.

You should practice your speech at a rate that almost feels slightly too slow.

It is almost guaranteed that it will sound perfect to an audience member. Make sure your message doesn’t get lost at a fast or otherwise distracting rate.

Pausing

On a similar note to rate, good speakers know when to pause.

Effective pausing adds emphasis to important parts of your speech.

It gives the audience a moment to absorb your message.

Don’t be afraid of a good pause. No one will think you forgot your place if you do it with conviction!

Vocal Variety

People want to hear speeches from someone who sounds excited about their message.

To maintain enthusiasm, work on your vocal variety.

Vocal variety means switching up your tone and rate for proper emphasis.

Monotone voices don’t convey a ton of captivating emotion.

A speaker who dynamically alters their voice is way more interesting to listen to.

Give Your Best Blue Eye Contact

While it may be nerve-wracking to some, eye contact is essential for an impactful speech.

Good eye contact is certainly an art form though.

Practice scanning the room, even if it’s empty at first.

You want to briefly connect with different audience members.

But don’t overdo it. It can come off as weird if you’re only connecting with one side of the room or only one person for too long.

Facial Expressions

We don’t always think about what our facial expression conveys when we’re going about our day.

Your face should match the tone discussed earlier. However, consider what your face is communicating as your speech moves along.

For example, if you have an anecdote about a victim of child abuse in your speech, watch your face carefully as you practice.

You want your face to communicate the proper hurt and pain that the child felt.

If you were smiling while giving this portion, it could look odd and turn off your audience entirely.

Body Language

Imagine a speaker walks up to the front of the room with their head held high.

Now imagine the next speaker walks up with their hands in their pockets.

Which speaker do you trust more?

Body language can often communicate more than our words.

Practice walking up to the front of the room confidently and maintaining good posture.

You don’t want any nervous ticks to detract from your important message.

Hand Gestures

Hand gestures are often an afterthought. But flailing hands can definitely be a distraction.

Hand gestures are a natural part of communication.

So to remain natural and conversational, incorporate them into your speech.

Be deliberate and gesture above the waist. Not every phrase needs a hand gesture.

But it can add to your message if done correctly.

A Note on Notes

Your speaker notes will depend on your speaking venue.

If you have a podium, neatly place them on top. Don’t read off the sheet of paper, but it’s ok to occasionally look down to catch your place.

However, if there is no podium, you may want to get a few standard notecards.

Either print or handwrite your speech on these notecards.

Practice, practice, practice, and practice some more with them.

You’ll want to get used to them in your hands without it being distracting. Learn to shuffle them without drawing attention to it.

How to Practice your Speech

The big day is getting closer and closer.

It’s time to combine all of the elements you learned about effective speech writing and delivery.

There are several ways to practice a speech.

Doing so can calm your nerves and only make you more confident.

Try several methods to catch any issues before sharing your message in public.

Giving The Speech to a Mirror

Get dressed and get ready!

You have an audience: the mirror.

Stand up tall and give your speech in a mirror.

Watch the way your mouth moves and your facial expression changes.

The mirror is a great way to tune into how you give a speech.

You can map out when your tone and facial shifts should change.

You will feel more comfortable branching out with your speech once you know how you look giving the speech.

If you have a time limit, you’ll also want to time yourself.

Are you completely over time?

What might you be able to cut out from your speech?

Try to cut unnecessary content that isn’t central to your message.

You may also want to revisit your speech rate to see if you’re spending too much time on a particular section.

Recording Yourself

Many may dread it. But recording yourself can give great insight into your delivery style.

Once you feel comfortable, get up to the front of a room and record yourself giving the speech in full.

Recordings can give you a lot of insight as to what your nervous ticks may be.

You may notice that you have a tendency to sway or make awkward hand gestures.

Watch the recording and take notes of your performance.

Bonus: hearing your speech back to you a few times can help auditory learners memorize the speech better.

Giving the speech to a Small Practice Audience

Once you feel comfortable enough, ask a few trusted family members or friends to listen to your speech.

Treat the occasion as much like the real thing as you can.

If you can go to the real venue or a similar one, try that.

Give the speech to the best of your ability and try to read your audience’s feedback.

Using a live audience, even if they’re a supportive one, can show you when to pick up the speed or slow down.

Ask your small audience for feedback when you’re finished. They may notice something you didn’t!

Additional Speech Writing Tips

Glossophobia is real. The fear of public speaking certainly affects some people more than others.

Keep a few anxiety-reducing tips in your arsenal for your speech day. These tips can calm your nerves and bring you back to your speech’s purpose.

Visualize

Visualize yourself walking up to the front of the room.

You’re confident and smiling.

The audience smiles back. You deliver your first few lines.

The audience is laughing at your attention getter and making eye contact.

You move to your first point.

The audience is shaking their heads in agreement.

You feel your passion.

You don’t stumble on a single word.

You’re nailing it!

This visualization technique can get rid of a lot of jitters.

It can make you feel much more confident.

You also will likely perform better thanks to the self-fulfilling prophecy.

Meditate

If your nerves are getting the better of you, consider meditation.

Silence any negative thoughts about your writing or performance.

Close your eyes and breathe in and out several times slowly.

Stay in the present moment and accept your nervousness as it is.

This mindfulness technique will help ground you.

Once you’re up at the podium, you will feel more centered and relaxed.

Reframe Anxiety

It sounds too simple to be true.

But try it.

If you feel jittery and start wondering if you can do this, reframe the thought.

Turn “I’m so nervous,” into “I’m so excited.”

You can trick your brain into thinking that you are actually excited to give the speech.

Remember the purpose of your speech again. Remind yourself that you are an expert here to help your audience learn something new.

How to Hire a Speechwriter

Rhetorical influence has a considerable impact on your audience, as seen in speeches. It’s the reason why delivering a speech never gets old.

Speechwriting is a language intended to convince a group of people and prove a point.

Unlike any other literary form, the speech seeks to build the speaker’s reputation through inspiration – it’s a way to promote an agenda.

With so much pressure in delivering a great speech, it’s no surprise that only very few people can write a masterful piece.

If you’re invited for a speaking engagement or tasked to write a speech, consider hiring a speechwriter.

So, how do you hire the best speechwriter?

The ideal speechwriter should be a great listener, creative and articulate.

The speaker must deliver on his promise to deliver a memorable speech or entertain the crowd with a captivating presentation.

How does a speechwriter do it?

A speechwriter has two tasks to accomplish: first, using words eloquently and persuasively, and second, creating a work of art will keep the audience entertained.

A speechwriter is responsible for creating an outstanding piece that will remain effective when delivered by the speaker. A person who’s not used to public speaking may find it challenging to deliver the content as written, and this is why you’ll need help from an expert.

Experience Counts

A speechwriter is expected to know the latest trends that affect a company or industry.

He should come up with a speech that captivates and motivates the audience without boring them.

Some may argue that anyone can write a speech; however, only a few can do it well, depending on their background and experience.

With a speechwriter, you will never run short on words to say during your presentation.

He could save you from embarrassing moments where you don’t have enough material for an excellent public address. A great speechwriter must deliver an engaging message even if the speaker is unable to do it or becomes nervous on stage. This is where experience comes in. Ask about previous speechwriting gigs, and if possible, get them to show you a proof.

Cost

The cost of hiring a speechwriter varies depending on the location, but it’s worth it.

Hiring an expert is cheaper in the long run because you’ll have to pay less for practice sessions that will help you deliver your piece successfully.

Some charge per page or produce free samples so you could check the quality of their work. Let speechwriters know the kind of message you want to deliver and what your audience might expect from you.

Quick Turnaround

The speechwriter must deliver the content within the specified deadline.

Any speech worth being delivered should be written at least a week before the event.

This is to give the writer ample time to edit and rewrite if necessary so that you will have the best material when it’s your turn.

Talk to your prospects about how they’ll respond if the speech is returned to them for corrections.

You’d be surprised to know that many speechwriters don’t accept constructive criticism well.

Be sure you work with someone open to correct their work.

Convey Your Message

One thing that makes a speechwriter stand out from the rest is their ability to create a compelling message. A great speechwriter must possess both language skills and artistry, with the ability to structure coherent thoughts and deliver them in an orderly manner. Most importantly, hire a writer who understands what you’re trying to convey to the audience.

Extensive Research

All speechwriters possess exceptional writing skills, but not everyone is religious enough to do extensive research.

The ideal speechwriter won’t start writing without knowing his audience and their background.

If you’re delivering a speech for a product launch, the writer must put all the effort needed to know about your company, including its goals.

They must be broad in his research so that he can present informative content that inspires.

Hire a speechwriter who knows the value of research, not only in writing but also in creating a speech that could move people.

Flexibility and Confidentiality

Be sure to hire a writer you can communicate well with. It won’t make sense to choose someone who has an extensive portfolio but with an attitude, you can’t swallow.

Also, make sure your information won’t be passed on to others unless you are the one who permitted them.

As the client, you retain the right of ownership to the speech, which means the speechwriter can’t use it for other purposes.

The Pros And Cons of Hiring A Speech Writer

Having a speech written by an expert will cost you more money, but it’s worth it.

After all, you should be delivering the best speech possible.

Forget the hassle involved in writing a speech and ask for help from a professional who has top-notch communication skills and the art of inspiring people through words.

Conclusion

Take a deep breath, you did it! You earned that long round of applause from your engaged audience. Speech writing doesn’t have to be scary. In fact, speech writing is a powerful way to convey your ideas to the masses. Through proper speech research and writing, you can deliver a killer speech. No matter how nervous you may be. Your speech has the ability to change the room, the audience, and maybe even the world.
