Those 3 little letters go a long way to transforming a really good speech into a speech that’s received as amazing!

In my opinion the importance of knowing your audience can’t be stressed enough here. If you know your audience’s interests, needs, humor etc. you’ve halfway won.

I write speeches for public presentation, as an emcee for my friend’s wedding, and for my own video blog. Need not to say, the former one is the more successful one probably because like you said: understand the audience.

It is tough. I find myself having writing a nice long speech and when I do the practice and voice recording, it just doesn’t work. I learn to keep it short, simple, and impactful. You brought up a good point, has to have a mix.

What I find the hardest is to add humor into speeches. What is funny to me may not be funny to others. And a funny part has to deliver with such conviction. That is hard if my confidence level is not great.

I personally like our PM’s first national rally speech. I stayed at the TV for that 3 hours and tried to order the CD at the govenment site (erm .. somehow they never send it to me). I like Obama’s speeches too. And of course, Randy Pausch.
