Alright folks, let's dive into the world of speechwriting! Imagine it's your best friend's birthday, and you've been asked to say a few words. What will you say? How will you say it? What if the crowd starts booing or throwing cupcakes at you? Fret not, my word-slinging warrior, for here we come to your rescue. Let's break it down.

The 'why' of your speech ๐ŸŽ‰

First up is the occasion. Is it a birthday bash, graduation party, or maybe a political rally? Your speech depends on the occasion. For instance, a birthday speech might be fun and casual, while a graduation speech may be more formal and inspirational.

 

Example: The fun, nostalgic speech you make at your friend's 16th birthday party wouldn't work for a solemn occasion like a Remembrance Day event.

Know your crowd ๐Ÿ‘ฅ

Next comes the audience. Are you addressing teenagers, adults, or maybe a mix of both? A graduation can be tricky as you're speaking to fellow students (who want to get to the party ASAP) but also to parents and teachers (who want a bit of nostalgia and feel-good vibes).

 

Example: Picture a politician. They might speak one way to their die-hard supporters at a rally and another way when they're on a TV interview. You wouldn't use the same slang you use with your friends while addressing your school principal, right?
