Tips for getting started on your speech
- Speak about something you know about. Pick something that you already have some knowledge about. Otherwise, you're going to have to do extra research to be able to speak with confidence about your topic.
- Speak about something you care about. Enthusiastic teachers are good teachers. You know that from being a student, right? The audience isn't going to listen or learn much unless you convey to them that this is a topic worth learning about.
- Speak about something the audience will care about. This is very important. If you speak about something that is relevant to your audience, they are much more likely to pay attention and learn something.
- Choose an informative speech topic that's not too broad. If you choose a topic that's too broad, you're not going to have enough time to talk about it in much detail.
Avoid topics that everyone already knows about. If the information in your speech is already known, your speech isn't going to inform them of anything new.
