1 Create effective slides

One of the most important aspects of speech writing is creating slides that support your main points, but do not distract or overwhelm your listeners. To do this, you should use software features that help you design simple and clear slides, such as templates, themes, layouts, fonts, colors, and images. You should also use software features that help you organize your content, such as bullet points, headings, transitions, animations, and charts. These features can help you structure your speech, highlight key information, and create visual interest.

The truth is that software, more often than not, distracts from the message you are delivering because people use software to cover-up speaking deficiencies. Always ask yourself if the information you are delivering via software will make people listen more carefully or not.

2 Practice your speech

Another key aspect of speech writing is practicing your speech before you deliver it. This can help you improve your fluency, pronunciation, timing, and tone. To practice your speech, you can use software features that help you record and playback your voice, such as the narration or voice-over option in some presentation software. You can also use software features that help you rehearse and time your speech, such as the rehearsal or presenter mode in some presentation software. These features can help you listen to your speech, adjust your pace, and prepare for the actual delivery.

Great speakers like Abraham Lincoln and Winston Churchill gave great speeches because they practiced and practiced some more, until they looked natural. Churchill even practiced the pauses and grasping for words he would act out during a speech. Mark Twain, who is a great standup comedian before he was a great novelist once said "I used to play with the pause as other children play with a toy." Also, remember to slow down when speaking in public. A slower pace is always better.

3 Avoid technical glitches

Nothing can ruin your confidence and clarity more than a technical glitch that interrupts your speech or prevents you from showing your slides. To avoid technical glitches, you should use software features that help you save and backup your presentation, such as the cloud storage or export option in some presentation software. You should also use software features that help you troubleshoot and fix any issues, such as the help or support option in some presentation software. These features can help you prevent data loss, access your presentation from any device, and resolve any problems quickly.

You should also consider making sure that you have an old-fashioned printed copy of your presentation in a form that is useful for giving a speech. Notecards, just giving cues, won't cut it if your technology poops out. When looking at your printed materials, it gives you a great opportunity to ask yourself if the technology you using is distracting from your message, or enhancing your message. If you cannot give a compelling talk after PowerPoint dies, you might want to rethink the content of your speech.

4 Engage your audience

The final aspect of speech writing is engaging your audience and making them interested in your message. To engage your audience, you should use software features that help you interact and communicate with them, such as the poll or quiz option in some presentation software. You can also use software features that help you share and follow up with your audience, such as the email or social media option in some presentation software. These features can help you solicit feedback, ask questions, and create a dialogue with your listeners.
