What Is Speech Organization?

Speech organization refers to the way that a


person organizes what he or she plans to say in a
speech. It involves arranging the speech's
information in a logical way.
In other words, a speaker organizes a speech
by making decisions about which main point will
be discussed first, second, third, and so on.
Speeches are organized to assist the audience in
understanding and following the speech's content.
Importance of Speech Organization

When planning a speech, it is important to arrange the


information logically. When a speech's information is
well-organized, it impacts the way the audience
understands the speech. Organized speeches are easier
to understand and remember.
They are usually more enjoyable, too. An organized
speech gives credibility to the speaker as well. The
speaker will appear more professional or competent in
their role as a speaker.
How to Organize Your Speech
Before beginning the process of organizing a speech,
it is important to distinguish between the speech's
main idea and main points.
The main idea of the speech is essentially the
speech's central purpose. For example, if the central
purpose of a speech is to persuade the audience that
trade school is a better choice than college, the main
idea of the speech might be ''attending a trade
school is a better choice than attending college.''
The main points of a speech are smaller pieces of information
related to the speech's main idea. Using the previous persuasive
speech example, the main points would be the reasons why trade
school is a better choice than attending college. A standard speech
has three main points, although some speech topics may require
more. At the same time, too many points can confuse or overwhelm
the audience and cause them to lose their focus on the main idea of
the speech.

Many speeches require the use of supporting materials and


evidence. Supporting materials are books or online sources
containing evidence (examples, facts, or statistics) that support the
speech's main points. The speaker must conduct research to find
supporting materials and obtain the evidence. Returning to the
example of a persuasive speech about trade schools, the speaker
would find supporting materials that contain evidence to support
the main points or reasons why trade school is better than college.
