It is special art to be able to engage the audience in a speech, and not many people can boast of their talent in speech writing. It has a typical function of other kinds of writing: to convey a certain message, but it is done either through a presentation, oral speech, or a written text. What are the main reasons of why people send a message in a written form? When it goes about a speech, it mostly concerns convincing the audience (readers or listeners) in particular views and persuading them to support your point of view.

Structure and Organization of the Speech

Thus, it is recommendable to speak up and present the ideas of the introduction and conclusion slowly, eliminate all confusing statements and use only simple words. Besides, only positive vibes of the speeches can draw the listeners’ attention and make them feel positive about the raised issues. Build connections with anecdotes and motivational words. Be careful with transitional phrases, in particular, ‘although’, ‘on the other hand’, and others as they pull the attention to less significant aspects. A bright example of how the elements of speech writing can cause the diminished meaning of the needed aspect is the following: “Although there has been a period of using steroids in baseball, the latter currently enforces stricter regulations related to the elimination of drug use than any other kind of sports.” The audience will feel the emphasis on the idea of the current regulations, not the problems of the steroid era.

So, what elements of speech writing make it different from various kinds of essays? First of all, the audience of the speech typically has various backgrounds, while in academic writing each text is oriented at the readers who always have certain awareness regarding the raised issues.

  So, what elements of speech writing make it different from various kinds of essays? First of all, the audience of the speech typically has various backgrounds, while in academic writing each text is oriented at the readers who always have certain awareness regarding the raised issues. The speech has to excite the audience from the first words, so the introduction always requires a careful and creative approach. They say, people generally skip everything that is between the introductory part and the ending. Everybody remembers a legendary “I have a dream…”; it was said at the very beginning and it has the effect of an explosion. Your genuine message is at the beginning and in the final part of the speech, while the middle is aimed at persuading the most attentive and engaged listeners to support your opinion. The speaker needs to convince both those who have been listening to the speech from the very beginning and those who have just joined.
