All About Freelance Speech Writing

By Deborah Kelly


Public speaking is a very intensive enterprise. One will need to have the skill and the charisma to be successful in the enterprise. However, no matter ones skill and enthusiasm, it will still be all for naught if the contents of the speech amount to a poor piece of drunk meanderings. In order to vamp up your chances of success, you might make up for the deficient talent with a freelance speech writing service.

However, this field is quite rife with competition. Moreover, quite a lot of emphasis is placed on experience and reputation. This is a profitable field, after all, and people who find that they do not necessarily have the best of skills, experience, and portfolio might find themselves at a disadvantage.

When freelance is the moot point, then the speechwriter will need to be knowledgeable on a wide margin of topics. Therefore, their research skills would need to be factored in. And of course, the target audience will also need to be taken account, putting in use the right kind of approach, voice, and choice of words. There is also a need to immediately capture their attention, right from the first word or sentence.

There are many kinds of career speechwriters. The most common are perhaps the political speechwriters. But then again, there are also the corporate ones. Even motivation speakers have their cabal of writers. And even typical workaday events like weddings may also hire their services.

Down to the nitty gritty, there are actually many types of speeches. For example, there are persuasive speeches, that which we certainly find in election and political rallies. However, quite a different narrative is required in conferences, for example, or commencement exercises.

If you have long decided on this career path, that is, even well before college, it is advisable to take up a relevant degree program. For example, journalism, communication, and the like. Also factor in the kind of area you would like to specialize in, like politics.

What sets this line of work apart from others is that its workers need to have a proven reputation of sorts. Your client will not trust you right off the bat, but will need to reinforce his choice with an impressive portfolio and background, among others. Also, the quality of the work should be second to none. This is a competitive field, after all.

Also, it would do to be flexible and open minded. Although one has weighty opinions, it follows that he or she might be asked to write about contrarian views. They will still have to utilize their voice, but they should be open to other opinion and points of view. The nub of the matter is that the speechwriter should be prepared to write about something he or she does not necessarily believe in.

Being a speechwriter requires a mastery in language. One would have a great advantage over his or her client in this regard. After all, they merely do the speaking. The speechwriter, on the other hand, on top of being thus, should also be a speaker and communicator, and preferably a listener. When you get right down to this career, it would be a plus to know your worth.
