Using Transitional Statements in Public Speaking

Video Transcript

Hey there! We are talking about words and word choices and writing a great speech for public speaking. And I want to tell you about something that's really important that kind of goes along with what we just talked about in the last clip of restatement and repetition. It's very important, as you're writing your speech, that you give us transitions and transitional words. And what I'm talking about is let's say you've done your introduction, okay? You have finished your introduction and you're ready to go into your first body part. A transition, or a transitional statement, is a group of words that tells us where we're going next. And you want to have transitional statements all throughout your speech. After every body part, after your introduction, before your conclusion, you want to have transitional statements. "So where we're going to go now," "What we're going look at now," "So what we need to see now," "So as you have seen," alright? You need to think of yourself as the tour guide and transitional statements will help you be the tour guide. As the tour guide you have to tell us where we're going, where we've been, and where we're going to next. Transitional statements, okay?
