Speech Outline - Practice Laying Out Your Speeches



Use these public speaking exercises to practice how to build a speech outline.

One of the reasons you might fear public speaking, is because you don't think you know how to lay out a presentation or speech properly.

These simple exercises will help you fix that.

You'll practice doing an outline bit by bit.

The penny will drop when you realize that's how all the good speakers do it!

Ready to show us your efforts already? Just go straight to the Form and submit your video.

Now, while it's true there are many different ways to structure a talk, there are definite parts of a speech.

There's a generally accepted public speaking outline that looks like this ... an Opening, a Body and a Conclusion.

In the box below you'll see several exercises. Each one has you building just one part of a speech at a time. You'll get more confident as you try the different ways of doing each part.

Just imagine the great day when you realize all fear of speaking is an illusion. The day you see it's completely unnecessary, and it only ever holds you back - it never helps. Maybe today's the day!
