Would you like a fast and simple method for how to start a speech that you can incorporate into your speech writing right now? This can be a difficult task if you don’t approach it correctly, but fortunately I can share with you a foolproof system that I use myself – and I’m seldom disappointed.

Writing a speech is an art that needs time to master, and you simply need to discover what works and what doesn’t. There is a time proven strategy for organizing an effective speech, and I always follow the same method although I add my own personal twist depending on the speech purpose.

There are three key elements in any speech – an opening, a body and a close. That might sound simple enough but it’s what you do with knowledge that actually counts – which is why I mostly start at the conclusion.
That’s right – I start at the closure of the speech when I have decided what the topic of the speech is about

This is not because I am a backward type of person – far from it – I’m a highly experienced Public speaker who has tried many things over more than 10 years, so I know I can assist you to write a speech opening, that will be amazing

1 Start at the conclusion: the reason is that you can easily get off track trying to come up with a dynamic opening – so focus your efforts on the conclusion because this is the part of the speech that sums up the whole purpose you wanted to make in the first place.
I know it sounds weird but try it and prove me right

Writing a speech is an art that needs time to master, and you simply need to discover what works best for you. There is a time proven strategy for organizing an effective or persuasive speech, and I always follow the same method although I add my own personal twist depending on the speech purpose.

There are three key elements in any speech – an opening, a body and a close. That might sound simple enough but it’s the way you use this knowledge that actually counts – which is why I mostly start at the close.

2 Then think of the three main points that will help you prove your conclusion correct – before you even get to it. You can then juggle them around to see what order they flow in best, and modify the points until they fit logically. The body is primarily about being logical so must flow correctly – this just means juggle and juggle again until you’re happy.

3 Finally it is time to construct your opening sentences – one or two should do the job but they must grip the audience attention immediately. Think of it as you would a news headline like A Kings Speech – A story told at last – something that informs your audience that your speech will be worth listening to because it will be of value to them.
It takes a lot of practice to write a speech this way but I can say that this is honestly what works best for me. I seldom have any issues finding a dynamic speech opening for my speeches when I use this methodology.

It is however very important that you get the opening to your speech just right and I recommend you spend more time working on this instead of the speech body. Building Intrigue at the beginning absolutely sets the expectation for your speech, and building up to a strong close is what leaves the audience with strong memories of your presentation.

A fantastic resource for use for opening sentences can be found by referencing other speeches and tips available at Speech Writing – there are tons of ideas here to suit any style of Speech Writing from a wedding speech to a political address. There is also a blog forum on this website so you can ask questions – it is a educational resource that has helped a lot of people, so I suggest it is a good resource to use.
