What Is It
Have you ever written a speech? If not, do you think it is easy to write a speech? This lesson will help you go through the
process. To be able to write your speech effectively, you must be able to follow the process correctly. Here is the
diagram of the speech writing process.
The diagram shows that the writing process is not linear but recursive. You go through it until your speech becomes
perfect.

Let us discuss each in detail.


1. Audience analysis means looking into the profile of your target audience.
You need to do this so that your speech will fit or match your audience.
Profile includes:
a. demography – age range, male-female ration, educational background, nationality, economic
status, and others.
b. Situation – time, venue, occasion, size
c. Psychology – values, beliefs, attitudes, preferences, cultural and racial ideologies and needs

2. Determining the purpose is finding out whether you want to inform, entertain, or persuade. Sounds familiar? Yes,
they are the three types of speech according to purpose. Your purpose can be general or specific but it is better
if you will be specific.
Example: General purpose: To inform
Specific purpose: To inform the students about the benefits of solid waste management.

3. Selecting the topic and narrowing it are also important. Your topic is your focal point. You need to make it more
specific.
Example: Topic: Solid Waste Management
Narrowed topic: Benefits of Solid Waste Management

4. Data gathering is the part where you collect information from sources about your topic. You can research in books or
surf the internet. Be sure to site your sources.

5. Selecting a writing pattern will help you to organize your ideas. You can choose from the following:
a. Biographical – presents descriptions of life of a person
b. Categorical/Topical – presents related categories to support the topic
c. Causal – presents cause and effect relationships
d. Chronological – presents ideas in time order
e. Comparison-contrast – compares and contrast two or three ideas
f. Problem-solution – presents problem and solutions

6. Making an outline or a hierarchical list of ideas can help you arrange your thoughts to make it easy for you to write
your speech in an organized way.
You can use a table format or a list format.
Example:
I. Problems on Wastes
A. Environment
B. Health
II. Ways to Resolve
A. Reduce, Reuse, Recycle
B. Solid Waste Management

7. Creating the body involves writing explanations, examples and details about the topic you have chosen. Be sure to
focus on the main idea.

8. Your introduction must catch the attention of your audience and present the subject or topic of your speech.

9. The conclusion restates the main point of your speech. You can summarize, emphasize your point, and call for action.
Your goal is to leave a memorable mark to your audience.

10.Editing and revising is correcting your speech for mechanics such as grammar, punctuation, spelling, organization
and the like. When you edit, be sure to:
a. Edit for focus – check if it focuses on the main topic
b. Edit for clarity – make sure your words are clear and easy to understand
c. Edit for concision – keep it simple and easy
d. Edit for continuity – ideas should flow smoothly
e. Edit for variety – shift in tone and style
f. Edit for impact and beauty – make it memorable

11. Practice makes perfect. When you practice you look at the time and how you deliver your speech. This helps you see
yourself and find out how you can improve.
Quite a long process! Indeed, but the result is better if you go through the process. There is no shortcut to a
successful speech but there is such a thing as a Good Speech if you do the steps carefully!
