Demonstration SpeechThis is one of my favorite assignments!The nature of the demonstration speech is to show the audience
how to do something. You’ll want to be more creative for this
presentation, as visual aids will add tremendous value to your
delivery. Perhaps you can have someone record your activity, and
then you place your narration overtop of the video. Perhaps it’s
something that you can show us with pictures or screen shots while
you describe what we’re seeing. Nonetheless, there are quite a few
ways to get it done!One of the best Demonstration Speeches I’ve seen was from a
student who demonstrated in 7 minutes how to secure your wireless
server. This may seem like familiar territory to all of us, but
there’s an enormous population in this country who have NO idea how
to do this. Make sure you choose something as simple as securing
one’s wireless, but interesting enough that not everyone will know
how. The idea is not to do something trivial and simple, but rather
to do something interesting and useful!A few paramaters:Your speech much be between 7-10 minutes in length. Please use
visuals – at least 3. We need to be able to see what you are
describing to us. Be sure to have an introduction. Tell us who you
are, what you’re planning to demonstrate and why you feel qualified
to teach all of us to do this “thing.” It is critical when
addressing the masses that you establish credibility – “Hi, I am
Erik Arroyo. I completed my MBA online and have been teaching
virtual classes for three years. Today I’d like to share some best
practices about online learning with you.” You can get the feel
just from the first couple sentences that I’ve introduce myself, my
qualifications, and my topic. This helps establish credibility with
your audience, removing any doubt as to your expertise.Organize the body of the speech, and stick to your outline. Stay
focused and remember – too much detail can sound like rambling!Conclude by showing us the completed product and encouraging the
audience to give it a try. Remind us of the process briefly and
avoid leaving us hanging. “Thank you for watching” serves a great
purpose in Demonstration Speeches.Good luck with this one! I am eager to see what creativity lies
within all of you.
