Components of a Speech

The introduction of your speech establishes your speech's purpose, previews your key points and tells your audience why they should listen.

The body of your speech is the point at which you go into full detail about each of your main points. The body is where you tell your story.

The conclusion of your speech summarizes your purpose and main points while leaving a lasting impression with your audience.

Transitions allow your speech to flow smoothly from one section or point to another.
