I have noticed that many times the speech title is almost an after thought. I have been guilty as much as anyone of not really giving my Speech title much thought and just putting something quick and easy as a title.
I would encourage all of us to think a little bit more and put some effort into the speech title. There are many ideas about how to craft a title for your speech and I will address some of the basics.
The title usually should only be at most 3 to 5 words.
Short clear and compelling is the idea for a speech title. Some speeches have had effective one word titles, but the majority are 3 to 5 words.
The title should give some insight into what your ill be speaking about. It should be compelling enough that the audience will desire to see what the speech is about.
There are Titles like “How to do something”. For an informational speech.
Perhaps Try to match your title to the type of speech. If it is a humorous speech maybe do a play now words in your title? IE “The mystery of the missing socks”. How to get a toddler to go to sleep in 383 easy steps” or “My most embarrassing Moment”
I trust that you are getting the idea. There is a lot of great information out there about how to create great speech titles. I would encourage us all pioneer toastmasters too give some effort sand thought to our speech titles.
