Persuasive Speech: Tips
Don’t wait until the last minute!
This type of speech is about crafting your argument. Do you have enough evidence to support your case?
Identify potential gaps in your argument. How can you fill them? What kinds of information will give your audience the facts they need to understand your case?
Are there specific resources that will strengthen your case? Do you have the data that explains costs, market comparisons, product/service details, etc.? Where might this data come from?
Think of the speech like a paper. Have a point and some structure.
Write an outline (even if it’s not required!)
Keep focused on a point.
Consider the potential questions after the speech. What might your audience still want to know?
Practice makes perfect.
