How to organize a speech: Useful tips for clear and logical presentation

Have you ever felt that your presentation was a jumble of ideas, a muddle in which even you struggled to follow the flow of the argument? This confusion is often the result of inner turmoil, different emotions competing to assert themselves, not just the result of a lack of clear and logical structure in your speech. Clearly, without structure, the idea you are trying to convey to others risks getting lost among more insignificant details, and it is difficult for listeners to remain attentive, but emotions always win out. At Inborn Voice, we have understood since more than thirty years ago how emotions are the basis of communication. An idea can only be conveyed perfectly through emotions, even in a foreign language that you have not yet mastered, as you have surely noticed when watching someone live or on video.

How can you tell if there is a lack of structure?

When your emotions are in conflict, for example when anxiety battles with the desire to be precise and detailed, your speech risks going in two different directions and you may:

1. Jump from one topic to another without any clear connection between them, leaving your audience confused.
2. Forget what comes next or lose your train of thought mid-sentence.
3. Bore your audience, who will struggle to follow a speech that lacks coherence.
4. Find yourself having to improvise instead of confidently guiding the presentation.

This feeling of dispersion not only affects your listeners, but also dissipates precious energy and confidence, making the whole experience stressful and unpleasant. But here’s the good news: you don’t need to master structure to transform your communication, just learn to manage your expressiveness with the Inborn Voice method.

The power of emotions in speech

The emotions you want to convey are the backbone of your presentation. They guide your ideas, creating fluid paths from one thought to another and effortlessly leading your audience to the very heart of your message. Focusing solely on well-structured speech is not only unhelpful, it is even harmful because it allows parasitic emotions to grow, which will then prevent your voice from clearly and authoritatively reflecting your identity.

Properly managed emotions give you and your audience an extra edge. They increase confidence in your presentation and lead to greater empathy and connection with the emotions of others, because you will trigger resonance phenomena.
