How To Make A Good Election Speech
During election period, candidates will often speak to Media or directly to People in their electorate about the issues they stand for. The goal of the an election speech is to persuade an elector to vote for a candidate.
A campaign speech must convey an overall message to the intended audience. It must appeal to the emotions and feelings of the audience and connect spoken words to persons who will hopefully support the candidate giving the speech. The greatest impact a speech can have is to mobilise a group of people to support, fund and to work for the candidate making the speech. All this must be clearly articulated during the beginning of the speech.
Following six tips are useful for writing a powerful Election Campaign speech -
1) Get potential voters on side.
2) Get you message out fast.
3) Give equal measure to empathy, warmth and authority.
4) Stay in control and be confident.
5) Use repetition to best effect.
6) Take inspiration from great orators.
Start the speech by appealing to the heart of the people. Introduce yourself. Tell people who you are in the most concise way without overwhelming them with your resume. Focus on those credentials that support you in being qualified and the best candidate for the office you seek. Vary your speech cadences, rhythms and voice intonation so that your speech appeals to the human psyche.
The art of Public speaking will give you the nuances of reading the room before and while you talk. In political speeches, knowing your audiences well can help you regulate the complexity of your speech to levels comfortable to them. There is no point, for instance, talking about complex economic indicators to a crowd of unskilled labours who are curious about how you will help them get a better lifestyle.
There are nine ways to make a good speech and these are -
1) Speak slowly.
2) Talk to Audience like you are having a conversation.
3) Keep your words simple and direct.
4) Read it aloud to see how it sounds.
5) Structuring a campaign speech without forgetting the basics.
6) Make your point quickly. Stay on the message.
7) Support your theme. Identify with audience through an associational appeal.
8) Raise the stakes at the end.
9) Strike the passions of audience with an emotional logical appeal.
