SOME GUIDELINES IN SPEECH WRITING

A
  1. Keep your words short and simple. Your speech is meant to be heard by your audience, not
    read.
  2. Avoid jargon, acronyms, or technical words because they can confuse your audience.
  3. Make your speech more personal. Use the personal pronoun “I”, but take care not to overuse it.
    When you need to emphasize collectiveness with your audience, use the personal pronoun
    “we”.
  4. Use active verbs and contractions because they add to the personal and conversational tone of
    your speech.
  5. Be sensitive of your audience. Be very careful with your language, jokes, and nonverbal cues.
  6. Use metaphors and other figures of speech to effectively convey your point.
  7. Manage your time well; make sure that the speech falls under the time limit.
