EULOGY

EULOGY
EULOGY
In many respects, delivering a eulogy is more
difficult than other types of speaking. The
speaker must deal with his/her own grief while
at the same time coping with stresses and
strains more usually associated with public
speaking.
EULOGY
Despite the challenges in delivering a eulogy, it
can be a very positive experience if you choose
to deliver one. Although a eulogy should
contain uplifting memories and make reference
to significant events, you should not attempt to
narrate the person’s entire life. Share only the
part that you think is most memorable.
Remember that a eulogy is a speech or writing that
praises not only a person but also a special animal that
has died.

A eulogy should include:


• sentiments for whom you dedicate your eulogy
• happier times with the deceased
• include anecdotes and real-life experiences
• nothing that might be considered offensive or vulgar.
TAKE

NOTE
HOW TO SAY IT
Words are powerful. They convey your
message. Word choice needs just as much
attention as speech organization and purpose.
Select clear, appropriate, and descriptive
words that best communicate your ideas. Every
word should add value and meaning to the
speech.
YOUR BODY SPEAKS
Body language is an important aspect of speaking
because it enhances your message and adds to your
credibility. It also helps release any nervousness you
may feel. Stance, movement, gestures, facial
expressions, and eye contact help communicate your
message and achieve your speech’s purpose. Body
language should be smooth, natural, and convey the
same message that your listeners hear.
VOCAL VARIETY
Your voice has a major effect on your audience. A
lively, enthusiastic voice attracts and keeps listeners’
attention. Your speaking voice should be pleasant,
natural, powerful, expressive, and audible. Use
volume, pitch, rate, and quality as well as appropriate
pauses to reflect and add meaning and interest to
your message. Your voice should reflect the thoughts
you are presenting.
