1 Know your purpose

Before you start writing your speech, you need to define your purpose. What do you want to achieve with your speech? What is the main message you want to convey? How do you want your audience to feel and act after listening to you? Your purpose will guide your tone and agenda, and help you focus on the most relevant and impactful content.

You should jot down thoughts around the subject matter in order to funnel down to the most important point in the message. One should be engaging so that the audience feels apart of message. And the speech should be long enough to inform, but no so long that you lose the audience in the content as well as going to long

2 Know your audience

Another key factor to consider is your audience. Who are they? What are their needs, interests, challenges, and goals? How much do they know about your topic? How can you relate to them and connect with them? Knowing your audience will help you tailor your tone and agenda to their level, expectations, and preferences. You can also use techniques such as storytelling, humor, questions, and examples to engage them and make them care about your speech.

In order to know your audience, you must know the organization that you are speaking to and its purpose, desire and wanted outcomes. To really engage an audience one can use the icebreaker technique where time permits. Start by asking insightful questions and if someone has answers hear from them briefly as a possible Segway into the presentation. A pre-conference survey is always good to have feedback inadvance of the actual presentation.

3 Know your format

The format of your speech will also influence your tone and agenda. How much time do you have? How will you deliver your speech? Will you use slides, props, or other visual aids? Will you have a Q&A session or a panel discussion? How will you interact with your host, moderator, or other speakers? Knowing your format will help you structure your speech, choose your tone, and plan your agenda. You can also use transitions, summaries, and signposts to help your audience follow your speech and stay interested.

Practice your message, record your delivery and tone, replay the recording and adjust where appropriate. Have all the props to be used in an orders that will not slow the presentation or make you look unprepared. Interaction with other presenters, the host or anyone else involved in the program can make all feel connected and one with you, If you have aco-presenter, other speakers and even the audience will feed off of your energy when you know your methodology and it shows.

4 Set your tone

Your tone is the way you express your attitude, emotion, and personality through your speech. It can be formal or informal, serious or humorous, authoritative or friendly, or a combination of different styles. Your tone should match your purpose, audience, and format, and reflect your authenticity and credibility. You can set your tone by choosing your words, voice, gestures, and facial expressions carefully. You can also use rhetorical devices such as repetition, contrast, analogy, or metaphor to enhance your tone.

In delivery the message delivery the greatest asset other than pertinent information is tone and body language. The tone will draw in or drive away your listening audience. Choose age appropriate word to keep the audience engaged and the message sounding authentic. Speak to the audience, not over their heads, or under their feet.

5 Set your agenda

Your agenda is the outline of your speech, the main points you want to cover, and the order you want to present them. Your agenda should support your purpose, address your audience's needs, and fit your format. You should have a clear introduction, body, and conclusion, and a logical flow of ideas. You should also state your agenda at the beginning of your speech, and remind your audience of it throughout your speech. This will help you establish your credibility, clarity, and relevance.

6 Practice and refine

The final step to set the tone and agenda for your keynote speech is to practice and refine it. You should rehearse your speech several times, preferably in front of a mirror, a camera, or a friend. You should also get feedback from others , and make adjustments as needed. You should check your timing, delivery, content, and tone, and make sure they are consistent and effective. Practicing and refining your speech will help you boost your confidence, polish your skills, and prepare for any challenges or surprises.

Practice makes perfect, but it also can create confidence for you, and make your audience confident in your presentation. I also think that you must meter your practice as too much practice can possibly cloud effectiveness as you will sound like you are operating from script not from your knowledge of the subject.
