MY OWN 4P’s OF DOING IT… PLANNING
PREPARATION
PRESENTATION
PRACTICE ( n times)
If I am to speak for ten minutes, I need a week for preparation; if fifteen minutes, three days; if half an hour, two days; If an HOUR - I am ready now. Woodrow Wilson
In the planning stage, I would consider the ff: 1. My audience (Who, Background information, etc) 2. The Topic (the event, theme and mood, etc) 3. The Venue (IT facilities, physical arrangement, etc)
A joke is a bare gag, sometimes a one-liner. It becomes humor when it is inflated like a balloon with details, then punctured with a punch line. Humor is a funny story with a point. When you add details, it becomes a humorous anecdote.
Therefore, a humorous speech is not just a series of jokes that makes people laugh.
If you have now the Topic/Speech…
Opening – should be short, simple and relevant to your topic. It should be attention getting…
Body – logical and coherent flow of ideas, good examples and smooth transitions. Rule of three is quite effective!
Conclusion – if the above two didn't work quite well, this is your last chance to make or (totally) wreck your speech
Proofread your speech – the appropriateness, the construction, the message…
Practice your speech - see if it’s within the time limit - see if you have a good grasp of the flow of your ideas, clarity of your words, speaking rate, etc. - see if you can naturally put actions or gestures as you say your piece, see if you can move or you can pause effectively Present your speech – in front of others or your mentor and let them provide (constructive) feedback

DO’s and DONT’s of using HUMOR in SPEECHES THE DO’s • Do use humorous stories and jokes which relate directly to the topic of your speech. • Do relate the story or joke to the audience. It should be clear and direct to the point. • Do speak clearly and audibly. • Do tell a story or joke about yourself. • Do use the name of living persons in a story or joke to which the audience can relate.
WHY ORIGINAL MATERIALS ARE BETTER 1. You will be able to deliver your speech more effectively and naturally - if it is yours. 2. When you share yourself through personal stories you will establish rapport with your audience. 3. When you forget some lines – nobody will know unless you make it noticeable.
DO’s and DONT’s of using HUMOR in SPEECHES THE Don'ts 1. Don't laugh at your own story or joke. Let the audience decides whether it’s funny or not. 2. Don't repeat a story or joke that flops. Once is enough. 3. Don't explain a story or joke that doesn’t seem to work. 4. Don't offend. Avoid toilet humor and off color jokes i.e. Green, Blue or Black Jokes 5. Don’t panic nor apologize if the audience didn’t get your jokes.
WHAT IF NOBODY LAUGHS ??? Sometimes, no matter how carefully you prepare and rehearse, your humorous story or joke doesn't amuse the audience. You paused at the end of the punch line, giving your audience ample time to respond, but all you hear is SILENCE. No one even smiles. Maybe you stumbled in your delivery or maybe the listeners didn’t think the joke was funny. For whatever reason, your humor apparently FAILED.
1. A GOOD AND HUMOROUS STORY OR SPEECH SHOULD HAVE THE FOLLOWING PARTS: THE SET-UP THE PAUSE THE PUNCH LINE/WORD THE PAUSE 2. ONLY THEN YOU CAN FOCUS ON DELIVERY.
3. RELAX AND BE YOURSELF.
