7 Ways To Find Interesting Speech Topics

1. Look in magazines, journals, newspapers for events - current or historical - and recent facts, and other valuable information and articles about subjects that interests you and that are comfortable for you to talk about.

2. Jot down any possible idea that comes up for interesting speech topics. I always make a list of issues if I'm contracted for a public speaking engagement. And then I skip the ones that are too difficult and complex to master in 8 to 10 minutes.

3. Review books on the subject for more detailed current information about your topic. Go to a library and ask for books and reference articles about your subject. For example you choose for an interesting sports or agriculture speech topic. Try to understand how the author has covered it. What's his structure? What points, information or arguments are the strongest? What examples and illustrations has she or he used?

4. Watch news shows, history documentaries and debating programs - for example the morning shows and the evening news. They are especially helpful for developing a rough list of interesting persuasive ideas. Look for controversies, rare and strange opinions. What do you think of it? What do you want your audience to think of it?

5. Think about related interesting informative topics to talk about. When you view your rough list, try to find new points, different angles of view or just turn your thoughts up side down. Look at the special aspects that surprise the listeners.

6. Look for supporting and opposing ideas and statements. Add some visual aids to emphasize a point in your interesting topic idea. That can be very enlighting for your listeners. Then they also can see and feel what you try to explain or demonstrate.

7. Unique and reliable statistics and new discoveries can help writing and refining interesting speech topics.
