There was a sociologist named Herzberg who did a big study on what works and what doesn't for motivating employees.  If you look him up online or at the library, I'm sure you'll find plenty of material for a great speech on motivation.

motivational speakers are usually famous people paid lots of bucks to share what they did to make them famous.  A lot of times is just an excuse to pay someone to show up at your event for publicity.

The best thing you can do is PRACTICE.  Write an outline on a couple notecards -- that are the major points of your speech.  Remember those points - and you will be able to talk freely on the topic.  But really, just practice what you need to say - and it will go smooth.

you should talk about something you like and you are good at (for example a hobby) or about an issue that really interests you. this way you won't run out of ideas and won't make embarrassing pauses.and try imagining the audience in underwear,it works :)good luck

If you have pets and like pets, you should do it on why people should adopt or buy a pet. You could also do it on the gym that you go to and why excercise is good for people. Or on good restaurants to go to in your area and why. There are so many possabilities that you could do it on. Just look at something that interests you and do it on that. Hope this helps, and best of luck with your speech!!! :0)

Though its good question, I feel that you might have asked one question after another to make it simple to understand....\n\nI will talk about emotion. emotion is a state of mind. What controls human emotions are not the surroundings or the people who surround you, but ones response to those people and surroundings. So ones state of mind decides the outcome - emotion.\n\nI feel if one touches the heart of others, if they tell from ones experience and  its the charisma of the speaker that counts a lot. Then one a can be a successful motivational speaker.\n\nI just read your response to my question reagrding religious leaders, thanks for the info....

The only way to pick a good subject is by knowing the audience the speech is meant for.\nIf you dont need to hold that speech and its just for theory then I would pick some urban myth and present the true facts, that works in most cases.

You could talk about immigration or the war in Iraq or raising minimum wage...those are the boring ones.\n\nIf you want to do something off the wall, I always recommend that people talk about blowing up the moon.  I wrote a 10 minute speech on supporting the destruction of the moon.  There's a lot of evidence to support it, and it's entertaining to research and read.

This is going to sound like a flippant answer, but I'm serious about it: A motivational speaker should be GIVING advice, not asking for it.  If you don't know how to go about doing this thing that you want to do, then you're not ready to go around telling others how to get themselves to do what they want to do either.\n\nSorry.

First: Choose an issue that you are intersted in and/or that affects your audience.  Your audience will know if you are detatched from your subject.  \n\nThen: Choose one aspect of that issue.  For example if you decide to do something about social security and you are a young student, you might want to focus on the effects of the baby boom generation on the likelyhood that you will be able to collect social security when you retire.  This may sound complicated, but it will help you in two ways: \n\n1.  It will help you lower the amount of informationyou have to go through.\n\n2.  It will allow you to thouroughly cover your topic in a small amount of time (I am assuming that you are a student doing this for a class and don't have a lot of time)

Just find something you are very captivated or interested in and make it narrow enough so that the structure can be branched off to create organisation. its not about what you talk about, its all about how you talk about. if im right about this speech criteria. many things are argueable* \n~spence ; )

I feel for you. My very first public speaking was in front of a 1000 people and my legs were like wobbling jelly.\n\nI just believe in three things when I do this. The first is I want to improve myself, the second is what I communicate is essential and the final is the more you do it the easier it gets.\n\nOne important thing to do is to write notes on your speech so that if you go blank then the notes can get you going. Always as your talk take a second or two to keep your notes up to where your speaking and take a small break as standing out front riffling through notes is not a good sight.\n\nWhen speaking to a large group, speak up and look at your audience. As you talk always move your eyesight around the people in the audience to make everyone feel part of your talk.\n\nFinally work out your talk/speech in advance and give it in front of a mirror to see your looking up and out and make the speech second nature.\n\nKeep going, it will get better and believe what I said in the first paragraph.

Never fear! Speech writing is fun. Think about what you have to say. Make it something that comes from the heart. What are the issues that are important to you? To the university? And if you go to Amazon.com, you can look inside this book (How to Write and Give a Speech, Second Revised Edition: A Practical Guide For Executives, PR People, the Military, Fund-Raisers, Politicians, Educators, and Anyone Who Has to Make Every Word Count )

The best way to be confident about what you speak is knowledge and passion. Forget about planned speeches. Know the subject you're going to speak about, "do your homework" so to speak, and maybe make a few note cards. Find something about which you have to speak that you can feel passionate about. I used to be terribly shy as well, but after a while, it came into perspective: what does it matter how people think about your public speaking? Many of them are probably as nervous as you are. Just do it. Don't overthink it; you'll just make yourself panic.
