Speech


Question Posted Monday April 10 2006, 6:29 pm

Hey there!
I'm running for Class officer of my school. My speech is here.
Is there anything I should add or take away. Or any humorous things I could add?



For those of you who don’t know me, my name is (my name). Last year, I made a huge mistake during my speech. My mistake was that I bored you to death. This year is going to be different. I’m not going to stand here and tell you that “I’m the best candidate pick me pick me.” No, that’s not my style. I’m going to keep it short and sweet.

Class Officers are some of the most important positions of our class. Wouldn’t you want someone friendly, mature, responsible, and willing to listen to represent your class?

Freshmen year flew by. 1/4th of high school is basically done. Most of us spent it exploring the school, getting to know peers, and experimenting with clubs and sports. Ask yourself this: Was there anything you wish to change? Is there a new club you want to add? Was there something missing that you want your opinion voiced about? If you said yes to any of those questions, realize this: it’s about time we have some fun and by electing me I can assure u we will. By electing me, you will see a difference, I promise you that.

So, I leave you with this: Vote (my name)for Sophomore Class Officer, and you’re guaranteeing yourself a memorable year.

very nice. the opening was perfect.

you seperate yourself from the others and that's good especially for the people who don't really know the candidates that well.

i personally like the beginning the most. but if you want something humorous, perhaps you should use something a person used when he ran for something. i don't remember what. i don't remember who. but i do remember i voted for him.

he began his speech with "I have a dream..."

that triggered laughter from the audience and the attention of voters. but i think your speech is just as if not more wonderful. keep your speech, stand out and make an impression, and even if the person doesn't know you, they'll vote for you.

I think that your speech was short and sweet, and you're right, you want to get heard without being boring. Although, I don't think that you should mention the part where you made them bored to their minds last year. They don't need to remember the past because that's what they'll focus on. Just tell them in the beginning that you're going to make it short and sweet, and make sure you do just that. I hope you win the election, and you seem like a very good candidate. I hope I helped!

i like it. it isn't as much about the speech as it is the delivery. be energetic, like you actually want the position. be caring, so people will know that you really do want to help them. smile. show people the best side of you.

I'm not sure if I would remind them that last year you felt that you bored them to death.. Many of them may have forgotten about that speech and your just reminding them that you did it. You might want to leave that detail out .. But other than that it seems like a great speech.

Be sure to deliver it with plenty of enthusiasm and SMILE! Seem happy to be giving the speech.. or no matter what you say it'll seem pretty boring

Good luck!
