It can seem hard to cite speeches that give a lot of great information.There are ways to cite that information.If you find the speech in a book, you can use the correct writing style to cite the book as an edited book.If you're using a style guide, you can follow the speech citation guidelines.The same way you would any other source, you can cite a speech in-text.
Step 1: The speaker's name should be written first.
The first name will always go first.If you have more than one source, put them in alphabetical order.The period should be after the first name.Alex Weber, an engineer, gave a speech about building a robot.You would alphabetize the speech using the first author's last name.Write "And" and the second author's name.Lopez, Ana and Sam Robinson are examples.You can use the information in the book to format your citation for a book.You would start your citation with Weber, Alex.
Step 2: The speech title should have quotation marks around it.
The speech title is listed on the program for the event.It is listed on the speech materials.After the speech title, put a period.If there is no speech name given, you can note it by giving it an appropriate title.You tell the audience that the information is from a speech the author gave at the National Robotics Conference.You would like this to be the case so far: Weber, Alex."How to build a robot."
Step 3: The name of the event should be followed by a colon.
This is where the speech took place.You should use the name of the conference, meeting or educational event.Alex Weber might have presented at the National Robotics Conference, which is the name you would use.You can list the course name and course number if you cite a class lecture.The citation should look like this: Weber, Alex."How to build a robot."There is a National Robotics Conference.
Step 4: The name of the organization should be followed by a letter.
You heard the speech at the conference, meeting or event hosted by this group.The Center for Robotics might organize the National Robotics Conference.You would use your university for the class.The citation should now look like this: Weber, Alex.The National Robotics Conference was about building a robot.
Step 5: The conference date should be stated as day, month and year.
The full name of the month should be written out.If you watched a recording of the speech later, use the date when it was delivered.End it with a letter.Weber, Alex is an example of a citation.The Center for Robotics hosted the National Robotics Conference in January.
Step 6: The venue and the city where it is located are needed.
The place where the speech was given is called the venue.The conference could have taken place at the George R. Brown Center.Place a period after the state and separate the venue and city.If it is specified in the name of the venue, you do not need to include the city.If the venue name was Houston Civic Center, you don't need to specify Houston, TX.This citation would like to read: Weber, Alex.The National Robotics Conference is held at the George R. Brown Center in Houston, Texas.
Step 7: You must complete the entry with the type of speech.
The speech possibilities include keynote speech, guest lecture, conference presentation, address, and reading.The conference or meeting program should include the type of speech.You can also ask the speaker.The period should be at the end of the citation.It will look like this: Weber, Alex.The National Robotics Conference is held at the George R. Brown Center in Houston.There is a keynote address.
Step 8: You can find a transcript of the speech in a book or journal.
You do not cite a speech itself in APA.You need to cite a transcript or video presentation of the speech.Look for a transcript in a book, journal, website or similar resource.You can check online databases.You can look for a video of the speech if you can't find a transcript.You can use excerpts of the speech in a book, or look for the sources the speaker used to support the material in his speech, which can be used instead.You can use the format of an edited book, article, or website if you find your transcript.For example, Lamar, Amy.There are influential speeches on robotics.B&B Publishers is in Atlanta.
Step 9: If you want to make a video or website, start with the author's name.
You should put the last name first.The name should be placed after a period.You can find a speech about repairing surgical machines on the website for the Center for Robotics.This works for both a transcript and a recording of the speech.The name of the posting account is what you should start your citation with.The citation should look like this: Jackson, Malik.
Step 10: The year and month were uploaded in parentheses.
The year and month are separate.This could be the same day as the speech was delivered.The upload date will help the reader find the video if they want to follow up on the sources you used.A period should be put after the date.The Center for Robotics may have uploaded Jackson's speech after it was delivered.Here's an example of a person.The year ended in June.
Step 11: The speech title should be written in italics.
The title of the speech should be given in the transcript or video.The title of the video or transcript should be used to aid the reader in finding the source.There is a period after the title.If you watched a video of the speech, put it in a file after the title.You should put your period after the video.Your citation might look like this: Jackson, Malik.In June.There is a video file about repairing surgical machines.
Step 12: You should put the website where you retrieved the speech.
The link to the site should be copied and pasted.You can type it into the References page.Write the link after starting the entry with "Retrieved from".Your final entry might look like this: Jackson.In June.There is a video file about repairing surgical machines.The speech can be found at www.centerforrobotics.com/speeches.
Step 13: The speaker's last name should be followed by their first name.
You will always start with the last name on the References page.Jane Ray would be written as Ray, Jane.The period should be after the name.No matter what source type you are using, you can use the speaker's name first.The rest of your citation can vary depending on where you got the speech.The rest of the citation should be formatted like an edited book if you found the transcript in a book.The citation should look like this: Ray, Jane.
Step 14: The speech's name should have quotation marks around it.
The transcript and video title should include the name of the speech.You should put a period after it.Jane Ray gave a speech about choosing robot components.The example is Ray, Jane.The choice of robot components.
Step 15: The title should be followed by the word "Speech."
You should say it in a way that makes sense.The reader knows that the source is a speech.The speech should be labeled "Classroom discussion" instead of "Speech" if it was a class lecture.For example, Ray, Jane.The speech was about choosing robot components.
Step 16: The speech was delivered in the city.
Write out the state, but not the city.Put one after the state and the other after them.Your citation would look like this so far: Ray, Jane."Choosing Robot Components." Speech, Houston, TX.
Step 17: The date of the speech should include the month, day and year.
This information can be found in the event program or speech transcript.The entry should be finished with a period.The entry will look like this.The speech was titled "Choosing Robot Components."
Step 18: If you found the speech, add the database.
If you used a research database to find the speech, then you need to tell the reader about it.The same resource can be used to find the source.There is a period at the end.It can be formatted like this: Ray, Jane.The speech was titled "Choosing Robot Components."There is a database.
Step 19: If you found the website online, give it its name and address.
It is possible to do this for speeches you found online.Jane Ray's speech can be found on the Center for Robotics website.There is a period after the web address.You could write a citation like this.The speech was "Choosing Robot Components."The robot is science.The center forrobotics.com has a speech about building a robot.
Step 20: The author's last name should be included in the sentence.
The easiest way to cite is in-text.If you are using MLA, you don't need to include other information.For APA, you should include the year in parentheses after the name and write it like this: " According to Weber's research, metal components can create more durable robots than plastic components."According to Ray, metal components are a better option than plastic components.The rest of the source information can be provided with endnotes.
Step 21: The author's last name should be provided in parentheses.
If you don't want to cite the author's name in your sentence, you can include it after the information you're citing.Put the author's name in parentheses.If you include the year after the last name, it will look like this: "Studies show that metal components last 4 times as long as plastic components."It will look like this.
Step 22: If you found a speech in a book, use the author's last name.
You will still cite the book in the same way, but you will use the name of the editor who compiled the speeches into a book.Amy Lamar compiled several speeches about robotics into a book.It would look like this: (Lamar) if you included a parenthetical citation at the end of the information you took from Weber's speech.The year of the publication after the author's last name should be included in APA format.For example, (Lamar 2018).You should include the page number if you are giving a direct quote.To separate each item, use a comma.For example, (Lamar 2018).Chicago Style will use normal endnotes.
