There are 3 parts to preparing a speech:
1 – Determine the overall objective
3 – Plan the delivery
2 – Determine the specific content
Each part consists of 4 steps
![Page 14: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/14.jpg)
There are 4 steps for determiningthe overall objective:
1 – Generate ideas2 – Select a topic3 – Identify a purpose4 – State the essential message
![Page 15: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)
Generating ideas
• I have already generated some ideas, producing 13 words.
• The words “effort” and “fun” suggest to me a topic idea.
![Page 16: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/16.jpg)
Selecting a topic
I choose for my topic:“The comfort zone”.
![Page 17: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/17.jpg)
Identifying a purpose
I now need to choose betweenfive possible purposes:
1 - Entertain2 - Inform3 - Persuade4 - Motivate5 - Inspire
![Page 18: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/18.jpg)
Entertain
• An entertaining speech is usually humorous.• It can also be an interesting story.• It can be very difficult to write a speech whose
ONLY purpose is to entertain.
![Page 19: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/19.jpg)
Inform
• An informative speech conveys information and ideas.
• If that is all it does, it can be quite boring.• It helps if the speech is also entertaining.
![Page 20: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Persuade
• A persuasive speech is an attempt to change how the audience thinks.
• It is important to appeal to emotions as well as logic in this type of speech.
![Page 21: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Motivate
• A motivational speech attempts to get the audience to do something.
• It usually ends with a call to action.
![Page 22: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
Inspire
• An inspirational speech stirs up feelings, even passion.
• It can include entertainment, information, persuasion, and motivation.
![Page 23: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Purpose
• The primary purpose of my speech is to motivate the audience to move out of their “comfort zone”.
• This will entail some persuasion.• I also want it to be entertaining.
![Page 24: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
The essential message
The essential message should be statedin a single sentence.
My essential message is:We grow by taking “safe” risks.
![Page 25: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
There are 4 steps for determiningthe specific content:
1 – Design the opening2 – Select a title3 – Identify 3 main points4 – Select illustrative stories
![Page 26: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Designing the opening
• The opening should get the audience’s attention.
• It can be very dramatic.• I don’t write out what I plan to say, I just make some notes.
For my opening, I will ask “Who is willing to walk on hot coals!”
![Page 27: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
Selecting a title
The title of the speech shouldarouse interest.
For this speech, my title is:“Do You Dare?”
![Page 28: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/28.jpg)
Identifying main points
For whatever reason,the number 3 works well for speeches.The main points need to supportthe essential message.
My 3 main points are:1 - What a comfort zone is2 – Why we should leave it3 – How we can leave it
![Page 29: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/29.jpg)
Selecting stories
• Stories can be entertaining.• They can also make a speech memorable.• Personal stories are particularly effective.• Again, I will just make notes, not write the
entire stories out.
In this speech I will talk about my “fire walk” experience.
![Page 30: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/30.jpg)
There are 4 steps for planning the delivery:
1 – Plan to use your voice2 – Select body language3 – Choose words and phrases4 – Choose visual aids
![Page 31: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/31.jpg)
Plan to use your voice
• The speaker’s voice is very important, particularly when telling a story.
• I will make notes about how I plan to use my voice.
For this speech I will use my voice to build drama in the fire-walk story.
![Page 32: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/32.jpg)
Select body language
• Facial expressions, hand gestures, and position on the stage are all part of body language.
• They can help to make a speech memorable.
In this speech I will move across the stage as I describe walking on hot coals.
![Page 33: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/33.jpg)
Choose words and phrases
I use notes to remind me of key words or phrases that I want to use to make the speech memorable.
In this speech I want to talk about “safe risk”, “support”, and “finding a new comfort zone”.
![Page 34: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/34.jpg)
Choose visual aids• When using technology it is important to
have a backup plan, because things can and will go wrong.
• I make notes about the illustrations and props that I plan to use.
In this speech I will use a circle on the floor to represent my “comfort zone”.
![Page 35: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/35.jpg)
FINALE
• I have the objective, content, and delivery.• All I need to do now is remember the
opening, closing, and 3 main ideas
• Each idea can be presented as a table topic, so I won’t need notes.
• Each idea will take 1 to 2 minutes.• Adding the opening and closing brings it to
5 to 7 minutes for the entire speech.
![Page 36: QUICK, EASY, and FUN (The best way to prepare a speech) Produced by Walter W. Beveridge, DTM on November 6, 2010.](https://reader036.fdocuments.in/reader036/viewer/2022062421/56649c995503460f9495629f/html5/thumbnails/36.jpg)
This process is quick, easy, and fun.
It is intended to produce a good speech, not a masterpiece.
If you want to give better speeches, start with this method. Get feedback about better ways to achieve your purpose. Then give the speech again, incorporating the recommendations.
