If you want to impress your audience as you end your speech, there are many ways you can do it.It is a good idea to repeat the main points of your speech.It is possible to tell a personal story, refer to a famous quote, or add humor to the end of your speech in order to make it stand out.
Step 1: In the end, repeat the main point of your speech.
It's time to summarize your speech, even if you went into detail about your main points.If you repeat your message, the audience will hear it and remember it once they've left.If you had three main points in your speech, try to summarize them with one sentence.You could say, "Remember, tell your family you love them, spend time outdoors, and make time for your hobbies."
Step 2: End your speech with a call to action.
Challenge your audience to do something to think about your speech.The end of your speech should be related to the call to action to make sense.You can challenge the audience to volunteer, smile at five people a day, or spend more time with their loved ones.If your speech was about the importance of taking a break from technology, you could challenge the audience to spend a couple hours a day technology-free.They'll be more likely to remember your main talking points if you encourage people to take action after your speech.
Step 3: To make the ending personal, tell a story.
A personal anecdote is a great way to tell a story.A compelling story that shows an example of what you talked about in your speech will allow the audience to visualize your message.If you're talking about volunteering, you could tell a story about a family's reaction to the house they were given after you spent time building it.Provide enough details for your story to make sense and create a full picture for the audience.
Step 4: It's important to repeat a phrase to make it memorable.
If there's a main point you want the audience to remember, repeat it throughout your speech.Make your final line stronger when you get to the end of your speech.The line should be short so that it's easy to remember.If you've repeated it several times throughout the speech, the audience might even say it back with you at the end.
Step 5: A famous quote can be used to make an impact.
This makes your speech intellectual.Pick a quote that relates to your message and tell the audience what you want to say.You can choose to share a lesser-known quote or pick a quote that people are likely to know.You can quote Martin Luther King, Jr. by saying, "Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that."
Step 6: Ask the audience a question.
It's a good way to make the audience think about your message.It's possible to ask them how they're going to take action.Have the question relate to the main message in your speech.If you're giving a speech at a school, you might end it by asking, "What are you going to do to make time for reading?" or "How will you use your knowledge to impact the future?"
Step 7: The audience should laugh on a note of humor.
You can make your speech memorable by having your audience laugh at a joke or funny story you are telling.Before you make your speech, make sure the humor relates to your main point, and try it out on others to see their reaction.You could say, "I hope my speech kept you interested and not thinking about getting up to leave."
Step 8: Speak clearly and people will understand you.
It can be tempting to start talking faster as you get closer to the end of your speech, but it's more important than ever to speak clearly and correctly.It's important to make sure people understand what you're saying at the end of your speech.If you find yourself speaking quickly, it's a good idea to take a break between sentences.
Step 9: When you're speaking, use a range of inflections.
If you want to give your speech personality, try to use a range of tones in your voice and emphasize certain words.This will make it feel like you're having a natural conversation with your audience.Paying attention to how your voice sounds while you're speaking is a good way to practice voice inflection.If you end a question in a higher voice to get your point across, you might raise your voice.
Step 10: You must finish your speech with passion.
As you near the end of your speech, make sure you reiterate your main points with enthusiasm.If the audience feels your passion through your words, voice, and body language, they'll be more likely to feel passionate about what you're saying as well.As you finish your speech, stand tall and look at the crowd.The passion is coming through in your voice if you notice yourself getting louder as you end your speech.
