What is the best way to write a speech?








Question on Quora

Interesting question; speeches are about a story, a topic, a view or maybe something your boss said you must present?
Before I joined Toastmasters I was a race event promoter for 12 years, my idea of a speech was instructing the athletes about the race rules. When I joined Toastmasters, I then realized how bad a speaker I was!
Speaking to audiences is one thing, but putting together cogent sentences is what matters.
A speech should have 4 parts:
  1. The title: keep it short ( I Have a Dream) famous words in a Martin Luther King (MLK) speech. Actually not the title.
  2. The opening: if you know your audience; it could be a joke or a quote to get the attention of the audience. Always mention who the quote is by.
  3. The body: too much info will bore your audience; basically just 3 main points.
  4. The close: Always try to create a close that incorporates your opening idea, or title.
As I learned Toastmasters is the best place to start about how to write and give speeches. Search www.toastmasters.org, for a club near to you.

SBF & FTX CON GAME

  The truth hurts, but Sam Bankman Fried SBF, conned millions. It`s interesting how we just experienced another election tainted with fraud. I ask how did the 30 million $$ donation by SBF of stolen money affected America in the election. Will the Republicans have the balls to dig into this cover-up by the dems and media, because their golden boy played them all? It`s my opinion we have a fraudulent president because of the cover-up of the Biden story, emails, and laptop,/before the last election. Will we have another cover-up, when will the American people be tired of corruption by politicians? Are you ready to give up your 1 st Amendment rights? If we allow the Central Banks and governments to force CBDC`s on us we will lose all control of our money and lives. (  Central Bank Digital Currency (CBDC) is a new form of money that exists only in digital form. Instead of printing money, the central bank issues widely accessible digital coins so that digital transactions and trans...
