Audience Analysis
First of all, several questions need to be
answered before you start preparing your speech:
To whom am I speaking?
What do I want to achieve in this speech?
What do I want them to know, believe, or do as a result of my speech?
What do the audience want from the speech?
What is the most effective way of composing
and presenting my speech to accomplish that aim
as well as satisfy the needs of my audience?

What are the three most important considerations
in your planning?

Structuring your speech
Introduction
 Attention getter:
joke? story? statistics? visual? audio?
Why use attention getters?
- to focus audience attention on the speech.
- to create an organizing framework for the ideas,
or information that is to follow (advance organizers)
 Introduce topic of speech
- Relate attention getter to topic.
 Tie to the audience
- why it is important for the audience to
listen/what is in it for me?
 Preview main points

ORGANIZATION OF CONTENTS
o
Topical order : The speech is divided into sub-topics, each of
which covers one aspect of the main content/ input.
o
Chronological order : The speech follows a time pattern in
which you may narrate a series of events in the sequence in
which they happen.
o
Spatial order : The speech follows a directional pattern. That is,
the main points proceed from top to bottom, left to right, front
to back, inside to outside, or some other route.
o
Causal order : The lesson input is organized according to a
cause-effect relationship.
o
Problem-solution order : The lesson is divided into two main
parts – the first showing a problem , the second giving the
solution .

• Manuscript – a speech that is written out
word for word and is read to the audience.

and rehearsed speech that is presented
from a brief set of notes.

The hands speak by themselves –
By them we ask, promise, invoke, dismiss, threaten,
entreat, deprecate,
By them we express fear, joy, grief, our doubts, or
penitence; we show moderation or profession and
mark number and time.

Choreography
To get your audience members to react to your text, you will
need a variety of dynamics.
• Physical – move around, raise and lower your voice, use pace
and pause, involve the audience, use hand gestures, use
props.
• Psychological – do not be afraid to show a little emotion.
Your body and voice must match the tone of your words. If
your language is strong, you must present a physical force to
go along with your delivery.
Let the words speak for themselves; reflect their nature
through your voice. If you use the word "strangle," say it
with a hint of menace in your voice.
