1. tell a concise story
- the story has a beginning, middle, end, and the lesson-learned
- the best stories show transformation and growth
2. ask the audience some key questions
- the questions should set up the main message of your presentation
- consider asking 2 or 3 connected questions
3. share a powerful quotation
4. share an interesting fact or statistic
5. use a visual illustration
Tips:
- develop your opening after you've created a draft of the rest of the presentation
- combine openings

From experience, it's not easy to take time away from preparing publications and other academic tasks to produce creative, quality, public-facing content like this.
Thank you for making time for these videos, Alex! I'll be speaking during part of a program at church this weekend, and suggestion #4 helped spark a idea my talk needed.
Yes, it's been very difficult to keep creating videos like this. My nights and weekends are filled with it. I'm glad the tips were helpful for your church program!
this has been so helpfull hopefully i get it

Thanks Alex!
These tips are so helpful, I also identified some of the mistakes I made while opening a speech in the past.
I'm sure gonna implement them in my next speeching engagement.
New subscriber here! Thank you for your good works!
Alex, I really appreciate your curating these tips for Best Practices of Opening a Speech. Really concise. To you question about effective openings (and this may fall under #5 to Use Visuals) I have seen speakers be announced, then the stage goes dark and a short but powerful video package is shown that relates to the topic. With the video, the full stereo sound and the darkening of the stage, this can be a very effective opening that you probably have seen. Thank you again for your great content.
Yes, I've seen professional-level keynote speakers have an introduction like that. That's usually a great way to kick things off. I've seen some amazing ones. But I don't consider that part of the speech really. That's an audio-visual introduction. If it's not coming out of the speakers, then it's not something I can teach. On an everyday basis, most people who speak in workplace settings are typically just introduced by whoever invited them to be the speaker that day.
This is fantastic, God bless your efforts.
Thank you very much, Mike.
Hi Alex, great thanks for tips as well as for PDF file
Glad it was helpful!
I love your work Alex
Thanks, Ambe.
Legendary People: Watching this befour exams
You talked about so much, which helped me. How about simplifying for young middle school students?
Great insights and so many things I learned! Love the story part especially, such great points!
Thanks, brother.
Cheers
This is a fantastic and complete list of different ways to start a speech. I'll definitely refer to this the next time I have a speech coming up. And now I understand the chess piece in your thumbnail!
Hi, Kara. Thank you for being so supportive.
A lot of thanks for making and sharing your video!!
Am going to take this story for my video😍
Hi Sir, thanks for the good work.
Kindly, what tip are you likely to start with as an opening speach in a academic research proposal defence for "Influence of money lending platforms on economic security of motorbike riders "?
Quality presentation
Thank you kindly.
Hi Alex,
thank you for all these beautiful videos..
i want to ask you to do some videos about conflicts management, communication with the angry and frustrated persons or arrogant persons..
thank you too much..
God bless..
i waiting for your videos.. 😊
Thank you for your kind words. I have some videos planned for conflict management but I don't think I'll be creating those soon. It may be in a few months or more.
Just found podcast Alex. Interesting format. Maybe you can do series on politicians, at least local. Andrew Tate would be good as well.
Thx a lot, you're the best, I must do a speech on the inauguration day of an NGO, any advice please.
Practice like crazy!
Wow!
This was my opening at a recent speech. As I was walking to the stage I got them to play Notorious B.I.G. - Juicy..... "it was all a dream, I used to read word-up magazine" *music cuts ✂️* I start..... "it was all a dream to compete at the big stadiums in Bangkok at the start of my muay thai career"...... I got the audience early
Sounds great. I love the showmanship!
I am not a nervous speaker, but after watching this video I am starting to gain confidence.
Thanks for your comment, Michelle. If you pump up your opening like this, they won't even know what hit them.
Thanks for these tips. If one is making a very short pitch of only 3 mins (for eg in a startup pitch by students), wld there be enough time to incorporate stories?
If it's a 30-second story, yes. But that is a challenge and takes practice.
I have seen some speaker use visuals such as video or musical video as a speech opening.....how do you see that?
I'm not supportive of using much video at all in presentations, especially to open. My reason is simple, showing a video is not public speaking. Professional speakers essentially never open with a video. I don't recommend it.
Begin with a powerful quote relevant to your topic to immediately grab attention and set the tone.
I am looking from India 🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳and you should apply heart to my comment please 😊😊❤❤❤❤❤thanks
You got it!
One of my favorite quotes: "Don't believe everything you read on the internet" - Abraham Lincoln

Yup!

Hi 👋..
Hi.
Real people learn it to improve their lifestyle
Tell a concise story
Ask questions
Quotation
Interesting facts
Visual illustration
Your website is way too busy. Way too many things popping up. Especially the ”cookie” pop up. The screen is constantly jumping around. It’s hard to focus on any one click.
Nope. My website literally has zero popups and we don't track cookies. And nothing moves on the screen. It's all just text and stable images.
For someone who claims to be a communication expert, his thumbnail is confusing.
If the talk is about opening, he should realise that the King in a chess board can’t participate in any opening moves!
I love chess! I used the King as an illustration in the video.
This is so America. Dude don’t try this overseas. Your audience will walk out
