⦁ Editing/Revising your written speech involves correcting
errors in mechanics, such as grammar, punctuation,
capitalization, unity, coherence, and others. Andrew Dlugan
(2013), an award-winning public speaker, lists six power
principles for speech editing.
Edit for focus.
“So, what’s the point? What’s the message of the speech?”
Ensure that everything you have written, from introduction to
conclusion, is related to your central message.

Edit for clarity.
“I don’t understand the message because the examples
or supporting details were confusing.”
Make all ideas in your speech clear by arranging them
in logical order (e.g., main idea first then supporting
details, or supporting details first then main idea).

eliminating unrelated stories and sentences and by
using simple words.

⦁ Rehearsing gives you an opportunity to identify what
works and what does not work for you and for your target
audience. Some strategies include reading your speech
aloud, recording for your own analysis or for your peers or
coaches to give feedback on your delivery. The best thing
to remember at this stage is: “Constant practice makes
perfect.”
