Public Speaking Classes: How To Write A Speech in 5 Minutes Or Less

Imagine this scenario...

People already recognize you as a professional public speaker. So, they already have a notion that you do your stuff well without even considering your mood or time for preparation. They just think of you as a person that can speak well in public no matter what the circumstances. In their eyes, you are an expert at speaking.

So now, what if someone caught you off-guard and told you to speak just a few minutes from now? You wouldn't have anything prepared except your ability, flair, and finesse.

Would you chicken out and come up with excuses not to speak? Or will you grab the opportunity to get another marketing exposure, get paid and deliver a great public speaking speech?

As a speaker you should try to have formulated methods on how to create public speaking speeches quickly.
Let me share to you my personal techniques on how to make a public speaking speech in 5 minutes or less. Maybe you can use it when last-minute situations happen to you.

Firstly, you should get an idea about the audience and their disposition in order to come up with a topic and approach.
Investigate, as much as you can, into who the audience is; what type of people are they? Are they business people, students, or educators? Next, you want to try to anticipate the mood and disposition of the audience. Are they having motivational problems? Are they frustrated with current economy?

Once you know who you are talking to, you can decide your topic and the approach of delivering your public speaking speech. Will you be funny, enthusiastic or will you be sober and insightful? Whatever it will be, make sure it will be appropriate. This process will just take you a few seconds to deliberate. Or you could just ask the person who proposed you to speak. Usually, audience info and public speaking speech topic is given to you straight away.

Now to the exciting part... Making your public speaking speech.

Each speaker has his or her own method. Some, if not most, are doing it instinctively. If you still don't have the knack of making a 5-minute public speaking speech, let me share to you a basic trick to develop it. You can implement this and you can build from it and then you will have your own style.

Fundamentally, you must know how to outline your public speaking speech. Here is a formula that can make it easy for you.

1. Make a catchy, attention-grabbing introduction.
Start with a quote, amazing fact, statistic, joke, or controversial statement; whatever makes it interesting. You want to do something unusual and different, so be creative.
After a brief self-introduction, summarize to the audience what you're going to be speaking to them about. Some sort of like a preview.
