Say it from the heart. That’s probably one of the best bits of advice anyone can give a speechwriter. However sophisticated your audience nobody can help being moved by heartfelt emotions expressed by another. That is not to say, of course, that every subject is an emotive one. If you want to speak about domestic violence, and have experience of it, you will have no trouble reaching your audience. If, however, you want to speak about buttons it is much more difficult to speak from the heart. You will have to work harder at preparing your speech. You will need to do research into the subject or speak about how you hope those buttons keep the homeless from freezing to death on a winter’s night. You might even get your audience to empathise with you by saying how much trouble you had researching the whole subject of buttons. No matter what the subject matter is you have to present it as something that really matters to you.
So if you are speaking at a sports meeting you have to be passionate about the need for new club facilities. If it is a business meeting you have to show how important it is to you that the company has better sales. If you are talking at a neighbourhood meeting your audience has to know that the new road being mooted is important to you. You may not, of course, want a new road and if that’s the case you should express your belief that it would ruin the countryside locally. Wherever you are speaking or whatever you are saying believe in your topic. Then, whether or not they share your beliefs, your audience will listen and, hopefully, be touched.
