Draft a speech Guide

2. After redrafting

  1. Read your words out loud:
  • are the words all easy to say?
  • are there tricky, tongue-twisting phrases?
  • do your sentences sound like they make sense?
  • do you have to pause for breath mid-sentence?

2.   Ask a colleague to read it though, checking for typos, howlers and that it makes sense.

3.   Circulate to those who need to comment/clear (relevant officials, press office, special advisers, private office, external contacts).
