How to create the perfect speech


Want to get publicity through giving speaches? Start with the basics.

Good speakers are not born, they are created. Like any other skill, effective speaking is learned. It takes preparation and practice.

Every speech has an opening, a middle and a closing. There is a saying among speakers: "Tell them what you're going to tell them. Tell them. Then tell them what you've told them." In other words, tell them what they can expect to hear, then provide them with the supporting material and finally, summarize the important points you want them to remember.

This is the A-B-A form that is as old as Greek Drama and still found in art, music, literature and theater - (A) Exposition; (B) Development; (A) Recapitulation.
