SIX PRINCIPLES IN SPEECH EDITING
Andrew Dlugan (2013), an award- winning public speaker, lists six
power principles for speech editing.
EDIT FOR FOCUS.
“So, what’s the point?
What’s the message of the speech?”
Ensure that everything you have written,
from introduction to conclusion, is related to
your central message.
EDIT FOR CLARITY.
“I don’t understand the message because the
examples or supporting details were confusing.”
Make all ideas in your speech clear
by arranging them in logical order
(e.g., main idea first then supporting
details, or supporting details first then
main idea).
EDIT FOR CONCISION
“The speech was all over the place; the speaker kept
talking endlessly as if no one was listening to him/her.”
Keep your speech short, simple, and
clear by eliminating unrelated stories
and sentences and by using simple
words.
EDIT FOR CONTINUITY
“The speech was too difficult to follow;
I was lost in the middle.”
Keep the flow of your
presentation smooth by
adding transition words
and phrases.
EDIT FOR VARIETY.
“I didn’t enjoy the speech because
it was boring.”
Add spice to your speech by
shifting tone and style from
formal to conversational and
vice-versa, moving around
the stage, or adding humor.
EDIT FOR IMPACT AND BEAUTY
“There’s nothing really special about the
speech.”
Make your speech memorable by using these
strategies: surprise the audience, use vivid descriptive
images, write well-crafted and memorable lines, and
use figures of speech.
