  1. Arouse the curiosity of the audience.

People are curious about your speech. One way to draw them into your speech is with a series of statements that progressively whet their curiosity about the subject of the speech. For example, look at this splendid opening from a student speech entitled “The Gift of Life”:

Each of you, my friends, has a gift. What kind of gift it is? Itʼs not a birthday gift or a Christmas gift. Itʼs a gift that could save a life – maybe more than one. If you decide to give it, you lose nothing.

Some people bury their gift. Others burn it. All but one of you who completed my questionnaire would gladly receive the gift, but only 25percent of you have decided to give it. This gift is the donation of your vital organs when you die.

Not only does this speaker relate the topic directly to the classmates, he gets them further involved by building suspense about the “gift” that each of us has. Notice how much less effective the introduction would have been if he just said, “ Today I’m going to talk about the donation of organs.”

  1. Question the Audience.

Asking a rhetorical question is another way to get your listeners thinking about your speech. Sometimes a single question will do:

How would you respond if a loved one was the victim of terrorism?

In other circumstances, you may want to pose a series of a questions, each of which gets the audience deeper and deeper into your monologue speech. Here is how one student used it:

Have you ever spent sleepless nights preparing for your examination? Can you remember rushing to finish your report given as a homework because you waited too long to start writing it? Do you often feel overwhelmed by all the things you have to get done at school? At home?

If so, you may be the victim of a poor time management. Fortunately, there are proven strategies you can follow to use your time more effectively and to keep control of your life.

Like beginning with a startling statement, opening with a question works most effectively when the question is meaningful to the audience and firmly related to the content of the speech. It also works best when you pause for just a moment after each question. This adds dramatic impact and gives the question time to sink in. The audience, of course, will answer mentally – not out loud.

  1. Begin with a quatation.

Another way to arouse the interest of the audience is to start with an attention-getting quotation. You might choose your quotation from Shakespeare or Confucius, from the Quran or Bible, from a poem, or a film. The key fact is that the audience has to appreciate the author of the quotation. Here is how one student used this method to encourage his peers to study hard:

The roots of education are bitter, but the fruit is sweet.” These words of the great philosopher, scientist and the first teacher of the world Aristotle could easily apply to each of us. We all know that it is hard to sit and study for long hours. But, the fruits it gives has a genuine sweetness. Look at the student named Almas who went to the republic Olympiad on Biology last year and took the bronze medal. Now he is the pride of our school and state. Tomorrow he will be the pride of our country, and the next day he will be the pride of the world. That is how must real man act.

By opening with Aristotleʼs words, the student not only got his peersʼ attention, but also got them to know the central theme of her speech. Notice, too, that the quotation used above as an example is a short one. Opening the speech with a lengthy quotation will set your audience yawning.
