How do you shorten a speech?

Answer 1

Just get to the main point of the speech! Nothing more nothing less...It always helps me to time the speech, depending on how long it is. For example my speech is 3 pages long, and it has to be 3-5 minutes. But it is a total of 10 minutes long! To shorten it down, I usually keep on editing the speech until it is the right amount in the specific time limit! Searching for ways to shorten a speech led me to this question! Hope it helps! :) GL

Answer 2

To shorten a speech, focus on the main points and key messages. Remove any unnecessary details or examples that do not add value. Practice delivering the speech at a slightly faster pace to fit within the desired length.
