Question

Does a campaign speech need to be about me becoming something?

Community Answer

It isn't necessary, but you can use that as an emotive metaphor for your campaign speech. You may also choose to focus on what you'll do if elected to the position you're after.

Question

I need a good, casual introduction for my speech. How would I go about this?

Community Answer

Start by using a roughly two sentence long anecdote that clearly relates to what you are talking about. This will help in keeping the speech more informal and like a conversation.

Question

How do I begin the speech?

Community Answer

Start with a little greeting, such as: "Hello ladies and gentlemen." "Good morning/evening/afternoon." It's a good idea to say your name afterward too. For example: "Good evening ladies and gentlemen. My name is Alex Smith."

What are some good ideas for an introductory sentence?

Something like "Hello, my name is George Washington, and I am running for president." Or something like "If you want taxes to be lowered, then vote for me." Make it simple, general, and understandable.

Question

Is it acceptable to share a story with the audience before beginning?

Community Answer

Certainly! As long as your story is brief and on topic, it can be a great way to help your audience relate to you more. It can also help your audience feel more comfortable and at ease around you.
