Demonstration Speech Topics -
Follow the Simple Steps
Demonstration speech topics are all about following a procedure or a series of steps - while demonstrating the process using visual aids.
A typical "show and tell' speech needs to be logical and simple, so guard against overly complicated explanations.
A good place to start is to choose a relevant topic that your audience will relate to and to focus on incorporating effective visual aids.

DEMONSTRATION SPEECH OUTLINE |
| Plan your demonstrative speech | List all the steps in the correct chronological order from the beginning to the end of the demonstration |
| Introduce your demonstrative speech topic to the audience | Briefly outline the aim of your demonstration. You may want to show your audience a final product - then they can visually relate to where you are aiming. |
| State the directions and instructions that you are visually demonstrating at the same time | Your instructions and directions are usually conveyed impersonally and often in the format of a command. Remember to emphasize the correct chronological order. |
| KISS - keep your verbal cues short and to the point | Aim to speak clearly using very specific and concise language and vocabulary |
| Colloquial(every day English) or technical jargon? | Choose your words carefully depending on the nature of your speech topic. Use jargon and technical language if it is necessary to convey your meaning effectively. |
| 5 W's and 1H | Make sure you answer: who; what; when; where; why and how in the steps that you demonstrate. |
| Use time words to assist with conveying chronological order | before; after; then; thereafter; next; once you have; immediately afterward; as soon as; |
| Smile and have fun | Try to be as enthusiastic and positive as possible - it is infectious and your audience will be more involved in your demonstration |
Visual aids effectively enhance your verbal directions.
Use visual aids wisely - you don't want them to overshadow your speech.
They should further clarify the specific point or step under discussion.
Remember to practice using visual aids. Timing is very important - visual aids should be a common thread that weaves smoothly in and out of your demonstration - linking the various steps.
