In academic writing, you'll follow the MLA -- Modern Language Association guidelines. Seehttp:/www.mla.org.
In other writing, you'll follow the standard style guide for the publisher.
If you have no access to a style guide, it's a good idea just to be consistent.
For example, you would probably capitalize the first letter of every word in a speech title. It would not be necessary to use quote marks, italics, or bold font, especially if the context of what you're writing clearly indicates that the words are the title of a speech.
