How to Write a Demonstration Speech
- 1). Choose a topic in which you have experience and knowledge. Concentrating on something you know and are comfortable with will make writing the speech (and giving it) easier.
- 2). Consider your audience. Knowing whom you will be addressing can help you decide whether humor is appropriate, what approach you should take and what analogies will be comprehended and appreciated.
- 3). Open with a hook. Has the first line of a book or magazine article ever caught your attention in such a way that you had to read on? That is an example of a hook. Ask an interesting question that your speech will answer, or relate an anecdote that will catch everyone's attention. Make sure your introduction states what your audience will be learning.
- 4). Empower your audience with steps that are concise and comprehensive. They should feel as though they can take on the task you are describing, and even be inspired to do so.
- 5). Conclude with a summary of the speech. Encourage the audience that, by following your words, they will be able to perform the task or process on their own.
