There are many times where you'll have to give an oral presentation

1.) Your professor or teacher may assign you to select an idea from a list of persuasive speech topics and have you give a presentation to the class.

2.) You're at work and the manager or CEO wants you to persuade them on why they should buy a new service product.

Both situations are important because it allows you to positively influence the listener.

Writing a speech doesn't have to be difficult. Follow these steps and you're well on your way to delivering a better speech.

The best way to give a good speech presentation is by picking a good speech topic. It makes your preparation and presentaion so much more fun, enjoyable, and effective if it's something you're already passionate about and enjoy talking about because your enthusiasm shines out

Know your audience. Pick a good speech topic that's appropriate for the age group and their interests. e.g. you probably wouldn't talk about how to cook dinner safely when speaking to a group of youngsters.

Make it clear, focused, and make sure it's a topic you can speak comfortably about so your audience will leave feeling different.

Make sure you have an attention grabber used to grab the audience's attention. Also use a thesis sentence, this should tell the listeners the point of your speech. The more focused the better.

Develop credibility. Explain why they should even bother listening to you.

The attention grabber, aka "hook" shouldn't be more than a few sentences. It can scare, excite, interest, be funny, entertaining, etc... As along as it's interesting.

e.g., I got scammed and I want to tell you how to avoid being duped!

The next step in creating a speech is to give the audience a teaser, a glimpse or preview about what you'll be talking about. You can highlight the main points and the speech theme or further elaborate upon the attention grabber.
