The difference between a good speech and a great speech is in the minor details. Follow these 3 tips to take your speech to the next level.

1. Include specific details

People love it when they can see the scene you’re describing. Include vivid details when you give your speech. Paint a picture.

2. Don’t get too fancy

A great writer once said, “don’t use a big word if a small word will do.” This is especially true when giving a speech. Your audience will connect with you if you speak their language.

3, Make it personal

Share personal details and emotions to really hook your audience. Nothing keeps an audience interested more than heartfelt feelings simply expressed. Audience love stories. Give examples of the points you want to make from your own experiences.
