Inspiring Speeches

What makes a speech or meeting story interesting? How can a writer prepare? Speeches are interesting for numerous reasons. First of all speeches are meant to convey a message to a group of people. Whether, the speech is political, personal or about a social phenomenon, it has to follow certain criteria that are required to produce an excellent speech. All of them must begin with a strong opening statement that introduces the topic. Language must be clear and easy to comprehend. Most importantly, speeches must show passion in order to really touch the audience. There are many speeches over the course of history made by presidents or prominent social figures that have made a difference in the world or at least in a nation. These include Martin Luther King’s I Have a Dream speech or Eleanor Roosevelt’s speech On United Nations Declaration of Human Rights. A writer needs to take all these aspects in consideration in order to prepare for a good speech. It is important that both the writer of the speech and the speaker take time to work on the speech together because the speaker must feel the emotion and believe in the ideas conveyed by the written piece. Otherwise the speech will not be successful.
