Let's start with the preparation for your speech. What will you take into consideration when creating material for your future lecture?

The audience, its socio-demographic indicators, their level of awareness of the subject of the speech.
The audience, their level of education and income – it will help me understand which what pain points to use to present the information.
The audience, its gender ratio – to understand how to explain complex terms and formulas.

Will you prepare a tablet along with the printed lecture?

I don't think I can use it without hurting my performance.
Yes, but I will lay down only the main points. It is better to be ready, one hundred percent!
Of course, I will. I won’t be able to remember the whole material!

How will you start?

I will start with a pause, of course. This will grab their attention.
I will tell you what the speech will be about.
I will tell the audience about myself, explain why they need to listen to me.

Would you dare to start with an expressive quote?

Naturally, this is a great option to start any lecture.
I think I would. But I would choose the quote carefully, it would be awful to make a mistake.
Of course, I wouldn’t. This is my speech, why do I need other people's quotes?

Do you think you will need to ask your audience questions?

I will. The questions will involve the audience in the discussion!
I doubt it, I'm giving a lecture, not taking an interview.
Definitely, I won’t. I never understood why speakers ask their audience questions.

What technique will you use in the first part of your speech?

Contrast. I will explain my ideas with examples!
Hint. It will create a comic effect and excite the audience.
Allegories and metaphors. I think they will get my idea through better than any other techniques.

You need to explain a very complex term to an audience that has never heard of it. What will you do?

I will use visualization with simple examples.
I use a metaphorical story understandable to this segment of the audience.
I will explain the meaning of the term in plain English.

Will you use the technique of literary consonance in a phrase (for example, the repetition of similar sounds in neighboring words)?

Yes, I will try to do that. It is a great way to increase the impact of your speech on the audience!
I don't think I will succeed, but it would be nice!
Why would I do that? I give a lecture, not perform at a poetry contest.

Many speakers recommend using the surprise technique. For example, announcing that your opinion is the opposite of the opinion of the audience, and then explain why. Will you try to integrate it into your speech?

I think I will use enough techniques, I don't want to overwhelm my speech.
Yes, there can’t be too many techniques!
I can't imagine how I can naturally implement this technique into my speech.

How will you close your speech?

I will try to inspire the audience to explore further the subject I was talking about.
I will explain the practical use of what I talked about in my speech.
I will recap and go over the main points of my speech once again.
