www.TeachYourKidsPublicSpeaking.com How to have a good opening in a speech “You have 10 seconds to grab the audience’s attention. If you don’t get their attention in the first 10 seconds, it’s very hard to recover.” That’s exactly how I opened an educational speech on how to open a speech. If you grab the audience’s attention from the beginning they will be more likely to listen to the rest of your speech. A great way to write a good opening is to ask yourself this question “What is the best thing I can say at the beginning to make the audience listen to me?” Here is a list of things you may want to include in your opening: Introduce the topic – Tell the audience what you are going to tell them.
