5. Carefully select each word to include in your speech. At the same time, consider the words that don't make the cut: what are you not saying in your speech? How you communicate your words, through phrasing, voice, gesture, and mannerism, is equally important as the words themselves. Consider what you want your audience to do, think, or feel at the conclusion of your speech. Use this to guide how you word and deliver your speech.

6. Make sure that every word in your speech has a purpose for being in your speech. Don't waste any words and commit to writing multiple drafts to refine and hone your speech. Always think about your audience and venue: who are they and why are they there? Considering these factors will help inform what language is best to use in your speech. What are the overall goals, objectives or purpose you have for speaking? Think about this so that you can work backwards to select the right language to achieve those goals, objectives or purpose.
