do you need to inform, to persuade, to train or to sell? ”your objective should be clear in your mind. if it is not clear in your mind, it cannot possibly be clear to your audience. audience: “whom am i making this speech to?” sometimes this will be obvious, but not always. you should try to inform yourself. how many people? who are they? business people? professional people? political people? experts or non-experts? will it be a small, intimate group of 4 colleagues or a large of 400 competitors? how much do they know already and what will they expect from you?place: where am i making this speech? in a small hotel meeting-room or a large conference hall? what facilities and equipment are available? what are the seating arrangements? time and length: when am i making this speech? how long will it be? will it be 5 minutes or one hour? just before lunch, when your audience will be hungry, or just after lunch, when your audience will be sleepy?method: how should i make this speech? what approach should you use? formal or informal? lots of visual aids or only a few? will you include some anecdotes and humor for variety?content: what should i say? now you must decide exactly what you want to say. first, you should brainstorm your ideas. you will no doubt discover many ideas that you want to include in your speech. but you must be selective. you should include only information that is relevant to your audience and your objective. you should exclude all other ideas. you also need to create a title for your speech. the title will help you to focus on the subject. you can always give additional information during the questions after the speech. notes: when you give your speech, you should beor appear to be as spontaneous as possible. you should not read your speech! you should be so familiar with your subject and with the information that you want to deliver. reading a text is boring, and will make your audience go to sleep. so if you do not have a text to read, how can you remember to say everything you need to say? the answer is with notes! you can create your own system of notes, some people make notes on small, a6 cards. some write down just the title of each section of their talk. the notes will give you confidence, but because you will have prepared your speech fully, you may not even need them. rehearsal: you will become more familiar with what you want to say; you will identify weaknesses in your speech. you will be able to practice difficult pronunciations; you will be able to check the time that your speech takes and make any necessary modifications.rehearsal is a vital part of preparation. you should leave time to practice you speech two or three times. even the great speaker sometimes will be in panic and slip into a bathroom for practice before making a speech. ten steps for preparationstep 1-select a topic for your speech use audience centered approach to select your topicstep 2-determine your specific purpose, central idea and main points use the audience centered appro
