Brilliant speeches are the ones where the speaker connects with the audience. You can use personal anecdotes to make it sound important to you, but the best way is to speak with conviction about a topic you can be passionate about.
Picking the topic can be hard. Use things you read or hear about to inspire you.
Watch the BBC documentary A Good Smack? This is about laws against smacking children and is a good example of a topic that people have a certain views about.
Watch
the TED talks – some of which are really inspiring. They are also good examples of successful speeches because they use certain techniques to engage the audience.
The features of a successful speech include:
•Using
the right tone for the audience
•Rhetorical
devices, for example, “I am sure you will agree”
•Humour
•Repetition
•Statistics
•Memorable
Phrase or a quotation
•Anecdotes/personal
experience
•Being
controversial
