SPEECH

How to train for a best man's speech

 1.THE SERIOUS INTRODUCTION:

Nine out of ten speeches and lectures begin with serious remarks. It is the simplest and most common method. However, a good rhetorical talk is just different from this usual beginning. Only in a few cases (for example, a funeral speech) is this still the best introductory form.

2. THE HUMOROUS INTRODUCTION:

This method very often helps to break the ice. Even factual topics can be relaxed that way.

3. THE INTRODUCTION OF THE LECTURE WITH A QUOTE:

Not only at the beginning, but also during a speech or a presentation, you can achieve a high attention value with a quote.
Make sure, however, that the quote does not seem too out of context.
Example: "top is better" or "first straps, then start", you can read that, ladies and gentlemen, as a motorist everywhere.

4. THE INTRODUCTION WITH A REIM:

A very difficult form of introduction because you want to rhyme your own thoughts. No wonder, if such two- or four-liners remain in the audience's memory for a long time to come.

5. THE HISTORICAL INTRODUCTION:

This form is reminiscent of the construction of an essay during school. The introduction of the lecture focuses on the past (what was), the main part on the present (what is) and the final part on the future (what will be).
Overall, a historical review - in addition to the serious beginning - not arrive as well as the other options shown.

6. THE INTRODUCTION TO THE PERSONAL EXPERIENCE:

At the beginning of your lecture or presentation, you tell a personal experience that matches the given topic. However, this story should necessarily correspond to the facts. Otherwise, there is a risk that every listener quickly realizes that you just wanted to bring an excellent introduction.

7. THE INTRODUCTION WITH A CURRENT EVENT:

It is always an advantage if you can create a current cover for your designs. Almost every topic can be better initiated by a current information or message.

8. THE INTRODUCTION WITH AN ANCHORAGE POINT:

It is the only form of introduction that you can not already commit to on your cue slip before.
You begin your remarks with a fact that you noticed right before you started speaking. For example, they are based on the choice of location, the number of people, the weather. You can, for example, also follow the words of the previous speaker.

9. THE INTRODUCTION WITH A RHETORIC QUESTION:

It is one of the most elegant ways to start a speech or lecture. You do not expect an answer to the rhetorical question.
In the following sentence you answer your question yourself. The rhetorical question is at the same time an excellent means to arouse the attention of the audience.
The rhetorical question is a classic rhetorical device and is often used in practice.

10. THE PROVOCATING INTRODUCTION:

A provocation of the listeners themselves is strongly discouraged. If the listeners have built up an antipathy field against you, the best speech in terms of content will not bring you the desired success. Even a provocative thesis should not be in the form of a statement, but in question form.
