Public speaking, Speeches: Types. Intervention order

Let us distinguish the relative, who is a speech by “saying” words. We say this for the difference, in our view, to conduct an extensive or minimal to say “four” little words, but also for words. We can distinguish two main types of speech:

    1. Presented in the food and banquets of any kind.

    2. Spoken in other actions or activities of the most diverse nature.

When a visit by a Head of State or other characters (either the policy or the world of sports, entertainment, etc.) usually serve lunch or dinner in his honor. And it is normal to make a brief speech at the end of it (usually at the end of the dessert.) The development of this discourse, greet and welcome guests of honor (by host) and then the guest of honor to say a few words about the reason for the visit and thanked give relevant.

It is customary in such actions are necessary to make a toast to the guest of honor and good progress, state institutions or companies. It is common practice to know in advance the text of both of the hosts and guests to ensure consistency. As a general rule: speech should be short, clear and easily understood by the audience. If a foreign guest will say something more than “the word” shall have the translator system has the same printed in languages other guests. It is also possible to choose a common language that everyone understands (usually English).

Another similar event is a tribute to a particular person or company (to receive an award or distinction, or for other reasons, such as a pension). Development tends to follow these steps:

    1. Organizers, briefly explain the reasons and present tribute to those who will talk about the honoree.

    2. Speakers talk presented (friends, employers or relatives).

    3. This tribute, thank you all for the act.

So far we have seen the speech “expected”, but what happens when we asked to speak without planned.

Some tips:

    1. Do not try to do in a language that does not dominate.

    2. Do not try to mention all the people, you can always forget someone might be angry. Limit the guest of honor or host.

    3. We start (start is a salute to the present), but we must finish. Beware of overextending and beat even less about the bush. Be brief.

    4. By the way, if you go to an event where you can find this unexpected, it’s worth a few words into the target.

    5. We have previously commented on the bread (very common at lunch and dinner). Actually, the speech of bread, just thank you, so do not spread. When providing glasses do not collide, as we think, just until the glasses (at eye level), you see all the gifts and drinks (or make a drinking motion, if abstemious.) Ever do chin - the chin with glasses, or say anything What cheers lucky, or similar. Do not equipped with water, always with wine or champagne, and as we said, if you do not like or do not drink, made a motion only.

There are other actions that do not eat lunch or dinner, where speeches are given, which may be single or double. The only thing, is when the host and guest of honor speaks to respond. some is when some people talk, like in an academic ceremony, opening, etc. The sequence then speak clearly: less important. Talk to the little people first finish talking about the most important. Each speaker presents and give turn to the person then would intervene.

To attract attention, whether it is food, not to make noise with the spoon in the cup. Cough in the microphone or just give press as if tasting work.

Avoid, unless it is a very good speaker, spoken discourse, and against the statement read. It is more secure and will not betray the memory.

If it is the last to speak, try to be brief and entertaining than the rest. The audience is tired and distracted at first, and much has been said.
