Speech Writing
You're going to write a speech. And you're scared to death. Sure, I know you're not afraid of the speechmaking. Spouting it out is comparatively easy; in fact, it may be fun. But writing-ah! That is another story.
But relax, and let's talk about it. Push aside the paper and pencil, or if you are planning to dictate your speech, tell who-ever's wanting to ask something to come back later. Somehow this invitation to make a speech puffs you up like a gas balloon. Why, I don't know.
How to Write Speeches...
You're the same person you were before you took the phone call or read the email invitation. The ideas you will present to these people will be the same old stuff that you've been giving your buddies and the bartender. There is nothing startling or revolutionary about these ideas. Well, if you are the same person with the same ideas, what's the sense of getting puffed up?
So let's deflate and discuss why they asked you to make this speech. I don't mean what they told you in the invitation - let's go into the real why.
Is it because Whosis is the program chairman, and he knows you or has heard of you? Or maybe somebody has asked your manager in Fort Worth, and he tried to think of somebody and sold you to them. Or perhaps they've got twenty-seven turndowns and in desperation they are grabbing at you. Most invitations are like that. So let's not get puffed up over the request. Sometimes it's a case of everybody in the group has to give speech or toast or...
Then let's consider what they want. Well, they want you to talk for twenty or thirty minutes. They hope you will be good, but they have their ringers crossed. They want you to tell them something, or to sell them something, and they hope you'll do it

Anybody can deliver a speech.
People prove that every day. They stand up on their feet, and they say what they want to say. If you fear you can't make a speech, you can take a short course in public speaking and almost immediately acquire the ability to rise and give out with words of wisdom - or what not.
But few can write a speech. That's why you hear so many inept speeches.
Go to church on Sunday, to your service club, your trade association, to any business meeting, and you hear speakers who have spent time and effort in preparing a speech or presentation.
Yet they don't interest you. They talk loud enough. They have the voice, the presence, the words, but they don't know how to put those words together in a way to arouse your interest.
You hear a man make a speech for a cause in which you are interested, but the way the guy puts the appeal just about breaks your heart.
It isn't that he can't make a talk. He simply doesn't know how to make his talk interesting.
Then you hear a man or woman who isn't a good talker, talking about a cause in which you have no interest.
Yet they hold your interest for twenty or thirty minutes or an hour. Their voice lacks volume; it squeaks; has no presence - nothing to hold you but his message. Yet they hold your interest through the whole talk.
What is the difference? One knew how to write a speech - the other didn't.
Now most of the bad speeches you hear have good material. The speakers have put hours into assembling the data.
Properly handled, this material could be made into an interesting talk.
But these speakers just don't know how to handle speech material properly.
