Quotations

A great quotation related to the speech topic often provides wisdom from a well-respected source that says something valuable or profound in much fewer words than most people can manage using many more. Choose quotes that demonstrate elegance, eloquence, or clever wit, yet make sure they remain relevant to the topic. Avoid using fun or humorous quotations for the sake of it, for this may make the audience feel cheated. Consider pulling quotations from websites, like BrainyQuote.com or GoodReads.com, works of literature, poetry, film, or even from personal acquaintances. Quotes can work especially great at the beginning and ending of speeches. Here are some examples:

Compelling Quote: “Good evening. Congressman John Lewis, before his passing, wrote: ‘Democracy is not a state. It is an act.’”  -Kamala Harris Victory Speech 2020

Create Laughter: “If you could kick the person in the pants responsible for most of your trouble, you wouldn’t sit for a month.”  -Theodore Roosevelt

Powerful Statement: “If we do not end the war, the war with end us.”  -H.G. Wells

Intriguing Statement: “The greatness of a nation can be judged by the way its animals are treated.”  -Mahatma Ghandi

Visual Aids and Demonstrations

Though other chapters cover visual aids more in depth, suffice to say, visual aids can provide a speaker with powerfully gripping opening techniques. Additionally, demonstrations may provide an audience with a visually compelling reason to listen as well.

Visual aids can look like a well-designed PowerPoint, Google Slides, or Prezi presentation. It could be one impactful image or physical article which encapsulates or demonstrates your topic.

A visual aid could also look like a student delivering an informational speech on the martial art of tai chai walking slowly and deliberately out into the center of the room, taking a deep breath, and in silence, beginning to perform various forms and poses inherent to the art. Without saying a word, such a demonstration effectively captures an audience’s interest to hear more.
