Damn speeches!!!

[SPORK]

well give me a topic and I'll do some research for ya :-P

I presume this means the purchasing and testing of many different varieties, and the effects of excess consumption?

[Skyryder]

Something to do with music. Maybe a certain genre. Probably really easy for me to talk about metal. So metal music is my topic

I see you are a drummer in two bands.
So you can write what you know about. That's about the most important rule in writing. KNOW YOUR SUBJECT.

Essaysts are informitive and explanitory. They carry the writers personal opinion on the subject matter in hand along with any personal experiance that may be of interest. They are not critiques, short storys, or biographys although all these elements can be incorperated into the essay. Essays can mock and satirize have humour and cynicism.

Whatever you do make it interesting not for yourself but those that know nothing about metal music. Thats the key for writing a good essay. It must hold the readers attention on a subject matter they knows nothing about or are interested in until they start reading the essay.

Looks like I need to go back to the opticians. I thought you needed to write an essay............and I see it's a speech. Still much the same rules apply. Use speech cards with the points that you want to make.

Your avatar scares the hell out of me already ..................

Speeches used to scare the crap out of me, especially in front of large audiences. I went as far as resorting to beta blockers for a while, brilliant drugs, they get rid of nerves entirely. Then I went on a public speaking courses and learnt loads of tricks and tips. My two basic tips to you, and the ones I live by are:

1. Know your topic well. Don't write your speech and read it - it makes for really boring listening. Just write down some bullet points and shoot from the hip. If you know your topic well it will come accross well.
2. When speaking to an audience, don't talk to the audience, pick out one individual in the audience and talk to him/her. Then move onto someone else after about 20 seconds, and so on.

Good luck.

You win.

My made up speech on 'How to be Heavy Metal' only got me a merit. But I think that's because I had to piss around for about 40 seconds setting up the amp, before I busted into a wicked solo.

Yeah, hold up ladies, one at a time.
