How to Write a Speech for a Performance

A strong performance speech turns your time on stage into a clear, memorable experience. Use this practical guide to craft a speech that lands, keeps time, and moves your audience to feel or act.

Define your brief

• Purpose: entertain, inform, persuade, honor, or bridge between acts
• Audience: who they are, what they care about, what they expect tonight
• Context: venue, acoustics, audience size, event tone and theme
• Time limit: hard stop and ideal target
• Requirements: names to mention, sponsors, transitions, safety notes

Find your core idea

• Write one sentence that states your main message
• Decide the promise and the stakes for the audience
• Collect one story, one stat, and one image that embody the idea

Pick a simple structure

• Three act: setup, development, payoff
• Problem solution: problem, insight, solution and next step
• Setlist: hook, two to three strong beats, peak, closing line

Write for the ear, not the page

• Short sentences, concrete nouns, vivid verbs
• Use repetition and the rule of three to create rhythm
• Signpost sections with phrases like first, then, finally
• Ask rhetorical questions and use contrast to keep attention
• Prefer everyday words and inclusive language

Build memorable moments

• Opening hook in 10 seconds: a striking line, image, or question
• Early beat in the first minute: a laugh, surprise, or aha
• Personal story or vivid example that serves your message
• Audience interaction if appropriate: a show of hands or brief call and response
• Peak plus a clear call to action or feeling to carry out of the room

Timing and rhythm

• Typical pace is 120 to 150 words per minute
• Mark beats and pauses in your script
• Cut 10 to 20 percent on your final pass to breathe on stage

Visuals and props

• Use few, simple visuals that reinforce, not replace, your words
• Rehearse with any props and coordinate with tech early

Rehearse and refine

• Read aloud and record yourself, then adjust for clarity and pace
• Print in large font with generous line breaks and bolded beats
• Practice with the mic and on the actual stage if possible
• Prepare a 10 percent shorter backup in case timing shifts

Performance day checklist

• Two printed copies and a water bottle
• Timer or clock in sight
• Mic check, lighting check, staging and entrances
• First line memorized, last line nailed

Common mistakes to avoid

• Writing for the eyes instead of the ears
• Starting with a long bio or agenda instead of a hook
• Overloading with facts and names that blur the message
• Ignoring the audience and the room
• Running over time and rushing the ending

Quick template you can adapt

1. Greeting and one line hook
2. Context and stakes in two sentences
3. Your one big idea in one sentence
4. Three supporting beats with examples
5. Short story or demonstration
6. Address an objection or concern in one beat
7. Peak and clear call to action or feeling
8. Thanks and handoff

FAQ

How long should the speech be

Match the slot and aim to end a little early. Rough guide: 5 minutes about 700 words, 10 minutes about 1300 words.

How do I memorize without sounding stiff

Memorize the beats and transitions, not every word. Use keywords on cards and rehearse aloud until the flow feels natural.

How do I handle stage fright

Breathe 4 4 6, ground your feet, and lock your first line. Make friendly eye contact and focus on giving value, not on yourself.
