Where to begin! I know how you feel. A good trick in these situations is to write down all the key points. From that list you will then pick the most poignant anecdotes and use them in your speech. The good thing about this technique is that these will become your brain memory cards and will allow you to deliver the speech without having to actually memorize the whole thing! What is the worst thing you could do during a speech? yes, you guessed it. Reading the whole thing with your head down and not even looking at your audience!

The speech I chose was Cal Ripken Jr.’s it was given at the Orioles home ball park, Camden Yards at his last home game before retiring. It is a special occasion speech and was given in front of over 48,000 fans. He used a tried and true opening sentence that although a little altered had a very familiar ring. He opened with “As a kid, I had this dream” a very loose but familiar take on MLK’s “I have a dream”. This was a great attention getter and probably had people on their feet immediately. This audience was already motivate to hear his speech so that was not an issue. Most of the fans were there for the purpose of hearing his retirement speech. He did not preview his points in the introduction he addressed those in the body of his speech one at a time. He did not try to establish credibility as he was speaking about himself so who knows more about him than himself.
Beginning a "Commencement speech" is tough, but once Powell gets confidence the words flowed normally. He said that making a Commencement Speech is a challenge.

Making the father of the bride speech, I feel a bit like a Sheik walking into his harem for the first time. I know what I've got to do, I just don't know where to start. You will all be pleased to learn that my speech will be every bit as good as last time. In fact, my side of the family will probably remember great chunks of it. Not really, although I am following exactly the same format. This means it will probably start off badly, sag in the middle with long silences, and then trail off into a lot of incoherent rambling.
Well, good afternoon everyone, for those of you that don?t know me my name is Lee and I?m Janie?s dad, and in keeping with tradition, it is my honor and privilege to deliver the ?Father of the Bride Speech?. Having to make this speech is one of the few opportunities in a married man?s life when he is allowed to do all of the talking...and I intend to make the most of it.
Best man 1: Good evening everyone. I must warn you we are both pretty nervous about doing this speech. We have spent many a night awake, trying plan it to no avail. We were both so nervous about doing this speech we asked the groom for some advice on how to prepare for talking to a large audience.
Having never done this before, I really didn?t know how long my speech should last
Over all this speech went relatively well but there is always room for improvement. I believe that the three most important aspects of this speech that I would need to improve and implement into my next speech would be the verbal citations, keeping my flashcards in order, and making sure that I plan out the time I need for my speech more carefully. I believe that improving these three things for my next speech would make a great
Welcome, everyone. I believe, that as father of the bride, it is my dubious privilege to make the first speech, so, here's one I prepared earlier.
Facts: The plaintiff and her husband were part of a religious sect that had origins in Syria, but decided to return to the United States by boat. The defendant, who was the leader of the religious sect, made an agreement with the plaintiff to take her and her husband back to the U.S. on a yacht. The plaintiff alleged that the defendant did not allow her to leave the yacht when it had reached the port in the U.S. by denying her a boat to reach the shore.
I read somewhere that you can flesh out your speech by researching which famous people were born the same day as the groom (bridegroom), and make some sort of link. Well, Brian was born on 9th January 1976, just 24 hours after a whole host of famous and interesting people - musical luminaries such as Bowie and Elvis, and the modern day Einstei...
A powerful speech can leave a huge impact and create a lasting memory, either good or bad.
Commencement speeches are often a sending off to the graduates by a highly regarded person, and is suppose to have a purpose. The purpose of the speech is to: motivate, inspire, encourage, provoke, a call to action, and to give hope to the graduates as well as congratulate them on their achievements. Often the speaker is someone who is famous or have been successful in their life. In regards to how the speech is given, it usually starts out with the speaker congratulating the class. They will typically try to relate to the audience by making fun of themselves to lower them to the graduates level. A conventional speech follows these conventions, but not all stay within the bounds, mostly due to wanting to be remembered or heard. David Foster
Speeches are something that are either excellent because of the way the spokesman or woman presents the speech, or the way emotions are influenced by it. Speeches are given every day, but many don’t change anything, nonetheless some are so inspirational that people want to do everything for that matter. The two most inspiring speeches ever presented, were easily, “I have a dream” by Martin Luther King junior, and Kevin Rudd’s “Sorry” speech. They were both against racism which back then was a big thing.
This speech did not make me nervous nor did it stress me out. I felt comfortable talking about color blindness because I had a good understanding of what it was, making it super easy to talk about. The informative speech stuck out in my mind because it was one of the speeches that I made really good eye contact, and I felt like I was saying very useful information unlike many of my other speeches. I am so glad we did an informative speech because it help me gain more confidence in my speaking abilities. I remember during the speech, I looked at the crowd and I actually saw them being attentive, and seeing my classmates like that made me feel like I was presenting my speech very well while being
