4. http://writingcenter.unc.edu/handouts/speeches/ Spice it Up
Add variety and interest. Conversational but not ‘slang’
Give it rhythm
Vary the sentence structure.
Use the active voice and avoid passive sentences.
Repeat key words and points.
Ask rhetorical questions in a way that attracts your listeners' attention.
Personal experiences and anecdotes
Use quotes. Good quotes work on several levels, forcing the audience to think. Make sure quotes are clearly attributed and said by someone your audience will probably recognize.
Be sure to use all of these devices sparingly in your speeches. If overused, the speech becomes exaggerated.

5. Five things for your audience to do
Stay awake. How are you going to make sure they do this?
Receive the information they seek.
Get your message.
Apply the message that you gave them through your research to their own life (relate to the audience)
Act on your information. Are you asking them to do anything with your information?
