The nature of the demonstration speech is to show the audience how to do something. You’ll want to be more creative for this presentation, as visual aids will add tremendous value to your delivery. Perhaps you can have someone record your activity, and then you place your narration overtop of the video. Perhaps it’s something that you can show us with pictures or screen shots while you describe what we’re seeing. Nonetheless, there are quite a few ways to get it done!
One of the best Demonstration Speeches I’ve seen was from a student who demonstrated in 7 minutes how to secure your wireless server. This may seem like familiar territory to all of us, but there’s an enormous population in this country who have NO idea how to do this. Make sure you choose something as simple as securing one’s wireless, but interesting enough that not everyone will know how. The idea is not to do something trivial and simple, but rather to do something interesting and useful!
A few paramaters:
- Your speech much be between 7-10 minutes in length.
- Please use visuals – at least 3. We need to be able to see what you are describing to us.
