Default Re: Help me pick a speech topic

Seriously, take care if it's a subject you're passionate about/know a lot about - really, really easy to overshoot your time and end all wrong.

diebitter raises a good point, and reminded me of another important one: remember, or rather, assume, that your audience knows very little about your subject; Don't write a speech about poker and use the word 'variance' without a good, succint explanation, for example; also, remember that they're probably not as 'into' the subject as you are... it's your job as a speaker to generate that intrest.


bet, what does 'diebitter' mean? isn't it 'the please' in german? WTF is that? or am i WAYYYYY off? [img]/images/graemlins/tongue.gif[/img]
