HELP!

Use some humour, everyone loves it :P
Make sure to say why you're best for the job and why people should vote for you :L


Good luck (and bonne chance :P), I hope you win! x

Lol, my guy friend once got school captain, and his speech started with "HIBBERY JIBBERY" to get everyone's attention.

So you might want to start with something interesting...

My advice is:

-Humour

-Don't weigh yourself down with information. It's good to put the details in your speech, but if you have too much, people stop caring.

-EYE CONTACT. I cannot stress this enough!

-Be honest. Don't make really unlikely promises. People hate the feeling that they are being lied to. So don't do it.

-No over-complication. Know your audience. If they are smart, don't treat them as idiots. But if they are idiots, then don't make it too complex for them.

I hope this helps. I won a mock election in my English class using these rules, so I probably know what I'm talking about. :)

Humor is good, but you have to know your audience right. If you're presenting to a bunch of n00bs, you might have to make annoying pop culture reference jokes.

Rhetorical questions are a very efficient form of speaking (I had to do a whole section of learning on speeches, and my teech said they worked well). Make sure to throw some of those in there, maybe even repeat a few, but with different context each time, because repitiation is another good thing to use.

If all else fails, just watch a famous speech online and print out the text and see how that person wrote theirs. Lol, I'm not a fantastic giver of information on speeches, but I hope this helped. :)
