Online Speech Creator-Take the Stress Out of Designing Your PresentationBelow is a free online speech creator that you can use to create an outline of your entire presentation — in minutes. Just answer the simple questions below, and we’ll send the outline to you via email.

Before You Start…

This presentation creator is designed to help you organize your thoughts. It won’t actually do all the work for you. Just follow the step-by-step instructions. If you answer every question, you will receive a simple, easy to deliver presentation guide. Before you start, we suggest that you glance at the following two blog posts:

The summary of this post is to not try to write a speech word-for-word. Instead, come up with an outline of your presentation containing just a few key points. It is better to cover just a few points really well than to cover a bunch of confusing content. (Your speech is easier to deliver as well.) The Speech Creator will ask you to determine just three major points to cover in the presentation. This works for most speeches.

Most people who use this presentation creation tool for the first time really fight this advice. The examples and stories that you insert are what make your speech interesting and easy to deliver to your audience. THIS IS THE MOST IMPORTANT PART! If you skip this step, you will end up with a lousy presentation outline.

This post identifies seven additional pieces of content that you can add to each bullet point to make them come alive. These will make good speeches great speeches.
