You have to have a topic for your speech.
- Pick a topic you know something about or want to know something about.
- Not a good idea to pick a topic you are not interested in - you will not do a very good job.
- Remember your audience - they have to listen to you! Andrew Dlugan in his Speech Preparation Series states "a successful speech is one where the audience receives the message."
