SPEECH WRITING
Talk Confidently.
If you have stage fright, you’ll have less of it if your speech can give your audience the right feels at the right times and get their minds where you need them to be. And if you’re facing a tough crowd, your Re:word copywriter will arm you with sentiments to soften them up.
Your Re:word speechwriter will:
- Interview you before writing to capture your tone and style
- Do additional research if necessary to add more credibility to the story
- Only give you words, phrases and ideas you’d feel comfortable sharing
- Pay deliberate attention to cadence so your speech flows
- Write the copy for any corresponding visual aids
Your speech will suit the occasion.
It can be funny or cheeky or serious or persuasive or motivating or informational or anything else it needs to be. But it will always respect the time and patience of your audience, so they’re more likely to lean in and nod along.
Your speech will incorporate your brand (or personal brand) language.
If you plan to record your speech and cut it up for content, you’ll want phrases and concepts that drive your main points home and separate you in a very crowded reel world. Your Re:word speechwriter will space these key lines out so you can edit them out easily.
We’ll capture you in your speech.
We start every speechwriting engagement with a video call to get a full impression of who’ll be giving the speech. Unique voice inflection. Physical mannerisms. Difficult sound combinations. Subtle tells. They’ll all inform the speechwriting.
Your speech will be easy listening
Your story will feel simple to follow, regardless of how complicated the content is. It will keep your audience engaged by making sure they never get lost. It’ll be just the right amount of funny or rhetorical or aspirational. And it will clearly lay out what you want from your audience and why they should get on board.
We can put you in the best position to deliver your speech.
We can include pause callouts or emphasis marks in your script, so you feel more prepared at the podium. We can do a few dry runs over zoom before the big day to get the intonations and implications right.
Re:word speechwriting is billed by the project.
Because you’ll be giving the speech, you’ll be guiding us through its iterations. You’ll have suggestions, additions and rearrangements. But you won’t have to watch the clock or count the worlds.
We take feedback like pros.
If you need to change direction, or we need to change ours, we’ll bring you and your speech where you both need to be.
Line editing your speech.
If you wrote a first draft you wouldn’t want to sit through much less give, we can get it into shape. From there, we can work together to sand the rough edges and finalize it for delivery.
Copyediting and proofreading your speech.
And if you’re having trouble in some spots or other spots are dragging, we can iron out the language to smooth out your delivery and improve your speech. We can also check your facts, figures and names so misinformation doesn’t sink your speech before you finish it.
