How to Write a KNOCKOUT Personal Introduction Speech

I could spend the next year counting the number of times I've heard a speech that sounded like, " Hi, my name is Mary Lou Smith and my favorite color is blue. When I grow up, I want to be a veterinarian. Once again my name is Mary Lou Smith. Have a great day."

The key to writing a knockout personal introduction speech is that you have to be original; you have to be creative, you have to be innovative and tap into the contestant's personal strengths that make her unique. An awesome intro will have nuances of imagery sprinkled with figurative language that grabs the audience and judges' attention, makes them laugh and think-- Hmmmm, this is a truly interesting person-- and it draws them in, engaging them to listen through the entirety of the speech.

A knockout personal introduction will be so powerful that when the contestant leaves the stage, the judge can still remember exactly what she said. A personal introduction speech that is memorable will not mirror the status quo. It won't have phrases like, "Hi, my name is..." or "When I'm not volunteering at the local animal shelter, you can find me..."

First of all you have to write about something that is worthy of being written about. If the contestant is not involved in community activities or doesn't have anything that is worth sharing to a wider audience that will make the audience say: "Wow! She's really doing something with her project...her life... her platform..." then the personal introduction speech cannot take off with the energy that a high-scoring speech would. Now, I'm not suggesting to get involved in activities just so you can have a great speech. I'm saying that whatever the contestant is doing now, she needs to use that in her speech and it needs to be something more than favorite colors, riding bicycles, and loving animals.  

So, when you write your speech think about the message you want to convey to the judges that will make them smile, laugh and see an individual contestant that stands out from the rest.

If you think that you could use a service from people that are used to writing speeches like pageant coaches, teachers, or speech writers, then you should definitely look into that. These are the people that have the expertise of writing with a creativity and flair that will capture an audience in 30 seconds or less.

And that's how you write a knockout personal introduction speech.
