Organize your Speech

Greetings hope you are enjoying my blogs (Public Speaking) so far. The last blog dealt with the first speech to a toastmasters club. (The Icebreaker) There are ten projects in the basic manual. I will now deal with Project 2, the main criteria here is to organize the speech. This means to select an outline. a clear message and conclusion. Outline: Opening sentence, quotation or maybe a question. the purpose here is to capture the attention of the audience. All this leads to the body of the speech, (main point, support material.) After this is the conclusion, (review or summary, maybe a memorable statement) Time for this speech is 5-7 minutes. The main word to describe this project is organization. The technical elements described in a previous blog(voice projection and speaking rate, eye contact apply to all project speeches. I will leave it at that for the moment. happy speaking.
