How to Write a Demonstrative Speech

Last Updated: September 19, 2023 Fact Checked

Demonstrative speeches are intended to teach an audience how to do a specific thing. They can be long and detailed, or short and simple. Even if you're an expert at your topic, the process of writing your speech can seem difficult. However, once you sit down to write a great speech, you're likely to get more excited about your topic than ever.

Choosing a Topic

• For example, to give a speech about how to perform general car maintenance, you might need an hour for your presentation. That's because it's a broad topic. If you only have 15 minutes, you should narrow your speech to something like how to change a car's oil.
• If you don't have control over the length of time or the topic, you'll need to adjust your speech accordingly. If you have too much information for a short amount of time, don't go into much detail. If you have a long time for a simple topic, you can expand your speech with some history or related facts.

• For example, if you're giving a speech to professional bakers, it might not be appropriate to choose the topic, “How to Bake a Cake.” You'd probably want to make your topic more interesting to them with something like, “How to Bake Authentic French Style Pastries.”
• The age of your audience matters, too. For example, if your audience is young children, you might choose the topic, “How to Take Care of a Plant” instead of, “How to Grow Perennials.”

• Look up your topic online. Other people may have made instructional videos that you can get tips from.
• If you know any experts on your topic, ask them for advice.
• Visit your local library and checkout books on your topic. Books are excellent sources of information, and are considered reliable sources when doing research.

• You should be able to use useful visual aids via a PowerPoint presentation or manageable props and examples. So a topic like, “How to replace your car's transmission” is probably not a great topic. However, something like, “How to make a spinach salad” would be easy to do.

Writing the Speech

• The outline should contain three sections: the introduction, the body, and the conclusion.
• The body should be broken up into the various steps of the process.

• When writing a speech, you want to simply write notes. You don't need to write out the speech word for word. Write enough to make you comfortable with the material, but not so much that you'll be reading off of your paper.
• Try to remember what it was like when you learned how to do this thing. What steps required more explanation than others?
• Unplug the saw.
• Locate the screw under the blade.
• Turn the screw enough to loosen the blade.
• Remove the blade.
• To keep the audience engaged, think of how you can involve them. Will you include audience participation? Will the demonstration be hands-on? Will you tell jokes or ask the audience questions? These can all be great strategies for keeping people engaged.

• Your call to action could be something like, “By learning to change your own motor oil, you'll be able to save money and feel the empowerment of taking care of your own car!” or, “French style pastries are a welcome addition to any gathering, as you'll see when you bring them to your next party.”
• Avoid introducing new information in the conclusion. That will leave the audience confused and with unanswered questions.

• Writing the introduction last is a good idea, because then you'll have already thought hard about your speech. By now, you know everything you want to say about the speech, so you can determine what is most essential to get people excited about it.
• To get people excited, use inspiring language such as, “You may have never thought you'd be able to change a flat tire yourself, but actually, it's remarkably simple!” or, “French pastries are one of the treasures of European cuisine.”
• Even though you write the introduction last, it is always the beginning of the speech.

• Take note of anything you'll want to add to the speech to explain the visual aids. For example, do you want to say something like, “I'm using unbleached white flour, but you can also used bleached flour if you prefer.”

Practicing Giving the Speech

• Review your notes as you would before giving the speech in front of people.
• Try performing the speech in front of a mirror. You should be able to look yourself in the eye much of the time, instead of always having to look at your notes.
• Go through the complete demonstration, along with your visual aids. If you don't, you might not realize that parts of the demonstration don't work as you've written them.

• Once you've made the changes, practice and try performing the speech for yourself again.
• Always use the visual aids, even if you've already used them once.

• You may want to invite some friends who know nothing about the topic and some who are experts in the topic. That way, you can get different perspectives on how useful your speech was.

• Ask specific questions of your test audience. You can ask them if they understood the different steps, or if there was anything they felt you missed.
• You may want to write down the feedback you get, or ask your friends to write it down so you can look at it later.

• You don't always need to incorporate others' feedback. Sometimes it won't be useful or accurate. However, if you got the same feedback from more than one person, chances are that it would be worthwhile to consider.

• Demonstrative Speech Outline

This demonstrative speech outline will help you organize your steps and make writing your demonstration speech easier. Just fill in the blanks above the examples given. Choose from our demonstration speech topics if you still need an idea then return here to get started on your draft.

This outline example below on "how to groom your dog" is simple, yet has all of the steps you need to include in your speech preparation to develop a quality demonstrative presentation.

It's easy to 'customize' the guide below to suit whatever topic or skill you plan to demonstrate.

Start of Demonstrative Speech Outline

Identify the purpose and central idea.

First, writers should identify the purpose of their presentation and the thesis. Identifying these elements guides the speech writer's research and narrows the focus. After collecting the data needed to complete the draft, it's easy to plug in the purpose and thesis to help generate the introduction and conclusion.

General Purpose: ____________________

  Example - To demonstrate Specific Purpose: ____________________

  Example - To demonstrate how to groom your dog (replace with your topic) well. Central Idea or Thesis: ____________________

  Dog owners can save money and bond with their pet if they groom their dog.

Frame the introduction

Every speech needs an introduction. Most speech excellent introductions follow a pattern that includes an attention grabber and a hook, development of a theme, a thesis statement, foreshadowing of the main points, and a transition into the body of the speech. However, the introduction for a demonstrative speech outline might be relatively short compared to a formal informative or persuasive speech. At a minimum the introduction should introduce the audience to the central idea.

Attention device: ____________________

Example - How much money do you spend on getting your dog groomed? $30, $40, $50 or more?

Theme: ____________________

Example - Saving Money

Foreshadowing/overview: ____________________

Example - Today I will demonstrate how to groom your dog at home properly.

Thesis statement: ____________________

Example - You can save money and bond with your pet if you groom your dog yourself.

Hook: ____________________

Example - This will not only save you money, but it will also help create a stronger bond between you and your furry friend! (Combined here with the thesis statement or central idea.)

Develop the Body: (Use at least 3 main points)

The body of your demonstrative speech outline comprises the nuts and bolts. Arrange you outline with at least three points. If the demonstration of steps is extensive, consider dividing the process into three parts that comprise each of the main topics. If the method demonstrated is short, consider adding features consistent with the thesis such as: explaining the background of the technique, answering FAQs, providing alternatives, giving ideas for using the skills gained, or other useful information.

Main topic # 1: ____________________

Example - 1. Gather Materials

Sub-points: ____________________

a. Brushes (explain different types of brushes for different dogs) b. Towels c. Nail Clippers (demonstrate how to clip nails without cutting the quick) d. Cotton e. Special Ear Wash for Dogs f. Shampoo

Transition: ____________________

Example - Now that we have all the grooming equipment, we need a dog! Here Fido! Main topic #2: ____________________

Example - 2. Grooming steps

Example - a. Brush dog to get rid of excess and matted hair b. Clean the ears with Cotton and Ear Wash c. Wash/dry dog d. Clip nails

Example - With Fido being all clean, it's time for celebration!

Main topic #3: ____________________

3. After Grooming

Example - a. Praise Fido for being such a trooper b. Give Fido a treat c. Pet Fido for a while and do the bonding thing

Example - Doesn't he look fabulous and happy?

Summary and Conclusion of the Demonstrative Speech Outline

In this final part of the outline, it is time to summarize what the audience has learned from your presentation and issue a call for action. Like the introduction of a demonstrative speech, the conclusion might be shortened in appropriate circumstances by only giving a brief restatement of the central idea. A formal ending includes a reiteration of the thesis, summation of the main points, a tie-in to the theme, and a clincher. These elements do not have to be complicated, but thinking about each can help create a powerful ending.

Summary: ____________________

Example - Grooming your dog is pretty simple. Just gather all the materials you need, then brush out the excess or matted hair, clean the ears, wash/dry Fido then clip his nails. The 'after grooming' stage is will probably be your pooch's favorite - so don't forget to praise and pet him or her! Tie-in to the theme: ____________________

Restate the thesis: ____________________

Example - Although grooming your own dog may take a bit more time than just leaving him at the groomer's, doing it yourself is a great way to save money and for the two of you to connect more deeply. (This example combines the theme of money with the thesis.)

Clincher: ____________________

Example - What could be better than that!

End of Demonstrative Speech Outline

Using an outline like this will help you organize your ideas and the flow of your demonstration. In turn, knowing that you are organized will relax you, giving you the confidence you need to deliver an excellent presentation and actually enjoy doing it.

The more detailed you can make your demonstrative speech outline the easier it will be to deliver your "how-to-speech."

Demonstrative Speech Shares The How-To

A demonstrative speech (or demonstration speech) shows how to do something. It may describe how to prepare or make something, how to complete a process, or how something works. The goal is to help the audience learn, so it should be clear and accurate, as well as compelling.

Speeches can inform, persuade, motivate, and entertain, but one of the most valuable types of speech is a demonstrative speech that shows how to do something, often in a step-by-step manner.

Table of Contents

What Is A Demonstration Speech?

In a demonstration speech, you either show or tell someone how to accomplish a task. Your demonstrative presentation might walk the audience through how to make a birdhouse, point out the steps for making money online, or offer steps to relieve stress.

What Is The Purpose Of A Demonstration Speech?

The purpose of a demonstrative speech is to either teach or explain something. One of the best ways to accomplish that task is to show the audience how.

If you were building a birdhouse, how do you prepare your presentation?

• Materials:  What tools, wood, and fasteners will you need?
• Step-by-step directions:  Write out step-by-step instructions beforehand to determine if you are missing anything. This can serve as a rough sample outline.
• Result:  Have a finished product on hand to show those who are listening. If your “how-to” is about something like how to write a business plan, have some samples that you can display in a PowerPoint presentation or other visual aid.

What Are The Benefits Of Demonstrative Speech?

So why choose this type of speech? In other words, what are the benefits of doing a demonstrative speech?

• In this type of speech, you can teach others in a straightforward, step-by-step process.
• Supplying a visual of what you are teaching is perhaps one of the best ways to get your point across. When giving a demonstration speech, you can tell them and show them the process and the finished product.
• To conclude, you can summarize important portions of what you have just shown the audience and display the finished product. Whether you are building a birdhouse, making lasagna, or showing listeners how to do intermittent fasting, always take the time to give an example of what the result should be.

How Is a Demonstrative Speech Different From An Informative Speech?

A demo speech actually walks the public speaker through the process, whereas an informative speech just tells them about the topic. How are those two types of speeches different?

Think about a public speaker presenting to a group of college track athletes. In an informative speech, the guest speaker would explain why dynamic warmups are important and might give a few examples.

In a demonstrative speech, the speaker might explain how to work through a dynamic warmup to the athletes. The speaker could present why a dynamic warmup is essential before showing how it is done, but the meat and potatoes of the speech is to describe the process step-by-step.

This explanation might include having athletes demonstrate sample movements on stage or the exercises could be shown in a PowerPoint presentation.

The big difference is that in an informative speech, your speaker is not focusing on the “how to,” whereas this is the main point of a demonstrative speech.

What Is A Demonstrative Speech Example?

As a high school English teacher, one of my favorite demonstration speech examples I would start with is having students explain how to make a peanut butter and jelly sandwich. The students would write their instructions down, telling others word for word, step by step, what to do.

To illustrate how important it is to give clear directions, students would trade sets of directions. Another student would do exactly what the presenter suggested in their paper. The resulting sandwiches did not always turn out right.

It was an excellent way to show the kids how clear, concise, and specific they must be when giving directions. To see how this played out at another school, check out this video .

How Is A Demonstrative Speech Organized?

A demonstration speech is almost always  organized chronologically.  In other words, you explain how to do something in the order you would follow to accomplish the task.

Start with a demonstration  speech outline  to organize your thoughts and ensure you put the tasks all in the correct order. Then, create a list of things you need. If you are building a birdhouse, what materials and tools will you need? Those items will become your visual aids for the speech.

Are you planning to supply handouts or some other type of  visual aid  for those watching? Perhaps you want a slideshow for the audience to reference while you go through the steps. Put your handouts together so they are easy to follow.

Strong presentation skills include walking those you are teaching through the task clearly and concisely. Bear in mind that if the speech drags on too long, you will lose your audience. That is one reason speeches often have a time limit. Depending on what you are modeling and the age of your audience, be certain their attention span will withstand what you have planned.

College students can stay attentive longer than high school students, who should have better listening stamina than middle school students.  Knowing your audience  is important regardless of the type of presentation you are doing. Are the people you are instructing beginners, or do they have some prior knowledge? This will impact how you approach the demonstration.

Before jumping right into your demonstration, consider an  attention-getter  that will ensure you have your audience hooked from the very first few statements you make. The last thing you want is to lose them before you really get going.

What Are Some Good Demonstration Speech Topics?

Many excellent demonstration speech ideas are how-to speeches. Some how to speech topic ideas:

• Put on makeup
• Paint a watercolor
• Train a dog
• Build a fire
•  Do a pushup
•  Pet-proof your home
•  Build a fence

How to Write a Demonstrative Speech (An Instructional Process)

Depending on one’s life and activities, we all have tasks that should be completed every single day, no matter how mundane or difficult they may be. But what if there are tasks that you are required to carry out but have no clue how to? This is where demonstrative speeches come in.

These are basically “how to” speeches that outline and elaborate different ways to complete a particular task. These instructional speeches are very common, especially in high school and college and are also very necessary in environments that require training, such as the corporate world.

Demonstrative speeches usually give a step-by-step process on how to do a specific task, which is then followed up with explanations and any additional information that may be needed to carry out that task. Having some visual aids that help demonstrate the steps required to achieve the task also goes a long way in providing context to your audience.

Process for Writing a Demonstration Speech

First things first, before writing any speech, you need to draw up an outline . This will help you avoid having a jumbled up speech, and will allow you to organize your speech in a way that is easy to follow and understand.

1. Begin your outline by asking yourself "Why"

What new information will an individual gain from your speech? As we have seen above, a demonstrative speech teaches your audience how to carry out a certain task. 

People tend to learn easily and understand things better when they are motivated to do so. Therefore, you should tell your audience why they should listen and learn about what you will be teaching them.

People don't buy what you do, they buy WHY you do it."

Simon Sinek

By revealing to them how they will benefit from the information you provide, you motivate your audience to want to learn more about your topic of discussion.

2. Provide an overview

Once you have revealed to your audience your topic of discussion, it is important that you give them a general outline of your entire process. This is because when learning a new task, some people may fear that it will be too complex for them.

Providing an overview helps assure your audience that not only is the topic beneficial but it is also easy to follow.

Additionally, it provides your audience with context on how the steps you highlighted here will fit together as you delve deeper into your demo.

3. Explain the steps involved in your process

This is the most important part of a demonstrative speech.

First, you should ensure that you have arranged your steps in the correct order to avoid any confusion. After this, you will then need to explain each step down to the minute details in a language that is easy to understand .

Here, you will explain what exactly is required in each step, how it will be done and the reason why it must be done. The use of visual aids in this step is crucial as they will assist individuals in your audience to understand better.

Pro-Tip: Ensure that the number of steps you have in your speech are as few as possible, this will help avoid confusion.

Additionally, you should maintain eye contact with your audience as you demonstrate each step.

4 .Talk about variations, other options and instructions

Now that you have demonstrated to your audience how the task should be conducted from start to finish, you can now provide them with variations to the process or additional options.

For instance, if you were explaining how to cook a certain dish, now is the time to reveal to them alternative ingredients that can be used to make the dish.

5. Ensure you allot time for Q&A

Question and answer portions allow a session to be more interactive . Additionally, this time can be used to clarify some steps that had not been well understood by the audience, which in turn, clears up confusion.

Pro-Tip: Monitor your time as you give a demonstration, as this will ensure that you do not rush through the entire process and have to explain everything once more in the Q&A session.

6. Give a brief summary to your instructional speech

You should end your speech by giving a short summary of the whole process, after which you can go through the benefits once more and assure your audience that not only is the entire process easy but it’s also realizable.

Now that we’re good to go on your speech outline , let’s focus on some extra tips.

How to choose the Best Demonstrative Speech Topic

Your topic is an extremely important part of your presentation, as it should reflect your process as well.

Here are a few tips to guide you on how to choose the best topic for your demonstrative speech.

• Take into consideration the amount of time you have to deliver your speech.

This will make it easy for you to determine how broad or lengthy your topic should be. If you have a significant amount of time, you have the luxury and room to incorporate more ideas into your discussion.

• Your audience

Before deciding on a topic of discussion, you should always ask yourself, “will my audience learn anything?” You should ensure that your topic is not only relevant to your audience but also helpful.

We can now move on to what makes a demonstrative speech good.

How to Improve the Quality of Your Demonstration Speech

I believe it’s common knowledge that everyone can write a speech but not everyone can write a good speech. As we have seen above, demonstrative speeches are all about teaching people, so you first need to be organized to ensure that the process is as easy to understand as it can be.

Here are a few things to bear in mind:

1.Speech Structure

Your speech needs to start with an introduction and end with a summary.

You should ensure that all the parts of your speech are cohesive as this will allow you to get your message across without confusing your audience.

2. Visual Aid

Using visuals such as diagrams and charts in your demonstrative speech will help your audience understand better.

Research has shown that an individual learns better through a visual aid. Scaled-down or real props can also be used during demonstrations.

Pro-Tip: Ensure your visuals can be seen clearly from all angles.

3. Follow-up Resources

Apart from using visuals, you can also provide your audience with follow-up resources that they can use after you have finished up with your demonstration.

This will improve the likelihood that the audience will successfully practice the process or task.

Follow up resources can include:

• Handouts, which summarize the steps in the demonstration and include diagrams that illustrate any important features
• Books, websites or pamphlets that can be used to learn more about a certain process

4. Audience Participation

You could also have a few members of the audience participate in the demonstration.

Actively engaging your audience by having them carry out the steps increases the probability that they will remember the steps and be able to conduct the process or task independently even after the presentation.

However, this is dependent on how much time you have to give your presentation. If you have limited time, then you will have to provide detailed handouts to your audience and if you can, get one or two volunteers from the audience to assist you in your presentation.

Pro-tip: Encouraging participation and engaging your audience allows you to have a healthy discussion where individuals are motivated to learn more.

There you have it! Go ahead and write a demonstrative speech making use of the recommendations above, and see how your audience will follow you all the way to the end!

Choosing a powerful demonstrative speech topic

The purpose of a demonstrative speech is to instruct or educate the listeners about doing something. Thus, you will want to choose an applicable subject and provide your audience with a step-by-step process to complete a specific task (apply makeup, read the stars, play poker, save money, or else).

College students or corporate speakers usually have a specific subject they need to talk about. If you don't have a topic at hand, here's how to choose an efficient subject:

• consider your interests - do you know a specific topic well enough to instruct others? Can you share your knowledge in a way that a wide audience will easily understand? Can you make your topic engaging even if it's technical?
• mind your audience - to whom will you deliver your informative speech? Will your audience be interested in the subject and how will they benefit from your instruction?
• time and location - what is your time limit for delivering a good demonstrative speech? Will you be able to deliver a strong presentation within that limit? How many listeners will be present and what type of the event is it?

By thinking these points through, you'll identify the relevant and helpful subject and evaluate the level of depth and detail for covering your subject. If you are feeling stuck with your demonstrative speeches subject, take a look at some ideas below.

How to create a demonstration speech outline?

Now that you have explored some unique demonstration speech topics and chosen your own, it's time to think through your speech. Since you want to instruct the audience to perform a particular task, you need to deliver your speech in a structured, organized way. Thus, your target audience will grasp your speech better and learn to apply the skills in real life.

A strong outline for demonstrative speeches includes sections as follows:

• Introduction - at the very beginning, you introduce your subject, explaining why you have chosen it, and what your audience will learn. Quickly walk them through the structure of your speech so people knew what to expect.
• Body - in the main part of your speech, you explain the terms and clarify the course of actions to them. Use a simple, step-by-step process, and provide bite-sized information to keep your audience engaged. If the topic allows, show the steps you take in chronological order.
• Conclusion - here, you summarize the key points of your demonstration speech topic for the audience and inspire them to perform a certain action. You might also raise some concerns or share additional information or sources which can be helpful.

Understand your audience.

To deliver an effective speech, understand who your audience members are. Consider their age, gender, education level, beliefs, interests, and many more. For example, demonstration speeches for corporate professionals or college students will differ from those for the general public.

By understanding your audience, you will be able to use language, examples, and visuals that they will easily comprehend. Thus, you will craft a speech that resonates with your audience and leaves a lasting impression.

Research and gather information

Even if you consider yourself an expert in some area, your speech will only benefit if you do research and look through credible sources. Whether you prepare a speech on mental health, using software, or developing soft skills, this will make your speech more informative and foster deeper understanding.

Gather relevant information and dive deeper into the topic you've chosen by reviewing books, monographs, and articles, or conduct an interview with an expert. Note down the techniques, tips, and interesting examples that might be interesting for your audience. By collecting valuable knowledge, you'll make your speech more engaging and vivid.

Organize and structure your speech

As you gather information, organize it in a logical and structured manner, following the outline presented above. Walk your audience from start to finish of the process, equipping them with valuable insights they need to understand how to perform the task.

Share specific steps with your listeners, followed by a brief explanation of what exactly to do at each stage. Thus, they will stay genuinely interested and follow you, understanding the progression of your speech. Add transitions so that they could see how each step flows smoothly into the next one.

Give the topic overview

When you introduce a completely new topic to the audience, they might be worried that they fail to understand something. Address their concerns by sharing a brief outline of the process with them.

Firstly, define the objective and the core message of your speech, i.e. what people will learn or what skill they will gain at the end of the lecture. After introducing your subject, specify what you'll be talking about, in what order, and what steps you will share with them. Thus, people will know what exactly to expect from your speech and will be more receptive to hearing your thoughts and insights.

Use visual aids and examples

All demonstrative speech topics include showing or telling the audience how to do something. A visual aid can go a long way in this process. By choosing appropriate pictures, videos, charts, and slides, you will explain the topic to the audience more effectively while keeping them engaged and focused throughout your speech.

Make sure that your visual aids are clear, informative, and relevant to your core message. With correct visuals, people will remember more of what you are telling them. Use jokes or memes, if appropriate, to lighten the mood. If you are not creating visual aids yourself, make sure you have the right to use them in your presentation.

Save some time for Q&A

Since you'll be introducing a new topic to the audience, most likely, they will have questions at some point. Reserve some time for a Q&A session at the end of the speech. Anticipate questions that your listeners might have, and prepare answers to them in advance.

If, during your presentation, you notice that the audience looks confused, you might want to repeat the points they find difficult. Thus, you won't have to explain things from scratch during the question-answer session at the end.

Practice delivering the speech

Little people are naturally good at public speaking, so you might want to practice your speech at home. Reading your speech aloud can also help the speech organization, as you'll see if some points of your text need clarification. Plus, rehearsing your speech multiple times builds your confidence and helps perfect your delivery.

You can practice in front of a mirror, watching your body language and facial expressions. Consider delivering your speech to friends or family members to hear their feedback. Time yourself as you speak to make sure that your speech does not exceed the allotted time limit.

Using visual aids in your speech: tips to prepare an engaging presentation

Most demonstrative speeches go with visual aids such as videos, posters, or PowerPoint presentations. Using videos, graphs, and images is of great help to organize your speech and deliver the practical steps to the audience more effectively. Here are some tips to prepare an effective presentation to accompany your speech:

• Avoid transitions and sound effects. They will distract people rather than enhance your ideas and your message. Also, stay away from fancy formatting and bright fonts. Keep your slides simple and professional.
• Do not read from slides. Remember that visual aids are there to enhance your message and show the audience pictures and schemes. Do not use them as your public speaking notes. This can make an impression that you don't know your topic enough or lack confidence.
• Use little text. Use text on slides only to repeat your main points or to list the sequence of actions. Do not put paragraphs or even sentences on slides. The optimal volume of text in your presentation is up to 8 lines per slide.
• Add pictures, graphs, and videos to illustrate your point. Graphics are effective if you want to draw the audience's attention to important steps of the process or share curious facts. Yet, avoid adding pictures for the sake of them - ask yourself "Does this help deliver my message?"
• Use colors properly. Use pastel colors for the background to make the information on your slide easily readable. Opt for complimentary colors so that your slides are easy on the eye, and no more than three colors per slide.
• Be careful with humor. If you deliver your speech in an informal setting, it is okay to add a couple of funny pictures or memes to lighten the mood. However, consider your audience and the event first to avoid putting yourself in an awkward situation.

Using our tips and strategies, you'll manage to craft a great speech even if you haven't written speeches before. Keep your target audience in mind, customizing your message for them, and work on your delivery to make your speech helpful and memorable.

Choosing a Demonstration Speech Topic

Now that you know the power of a great demonstration speech, you might be wondering: what should I talk about? The possibilities are endless, but the key is to choose a topic that you’re passionate about and that will resonate with your audience.

Your Interests

First and foremost, your demonstration speech topic should be something you’re genuinely interested in and excited to share with others. After all, if you’re not passionate about the subject, how can you expect your audience to be?

Think about your hobbies, skills, and areas of expertise. What do you love to do in your free time? What are you known for among your friends and family? Chances are, there’s a demonstration speech topic hiding in there somewhere.

Time Constraint

Of course, passion alone isn’t enough. You also need to consider the practical constraints of your speech, like time. How much time do you have to prepare and deliver your demonstration? If you only have a few minutes, you’ll want to choose a topic that can be explained concisely, with a few key steps or takeaways. If you have more time, you can dive deeper into the details and nuances of your subject.

Audience Engagement

Finally, think about what will engage and benefit your audience. What problems are they trying to solve? What skills do they need to learn? In addition, what interests and values do they share?

The best demonstration speech topics are those that are both personally meaningful to you and relevant to your audience. So don’t be afraid to get creative and think outside the box. Whether you’re teaching your coworkers how to use a new software program or showing your friends how to make your famous chili recipe, the key is to choose a topic that you’re excited about and that will leave your audience feeling inspired and empowered.

How to Structure Your Demonstration Speech

You’ve chosen your demonstration speech topic, and you’re ready to start preparing. But how do you even plan a demonstration speech? The key is structure. Structuring your speech is key to delivering a clear, engaging presentation that your audience will remember. Consider the following steps as you outline your speech.

Begin with “Why”

Before you dive into the details of your demonstration, take a moment to explain why your topic matters. What problem does it solve? How will it benefit your audience? By starting with the “why,” you’ll capture your listeners’ attention and make them eager to learn more.

Outline the Process

Once you’ve established the importance of your topic, it’s time to outline the process you’ll be demonstrating. Break it down into clear, logical steps that your audience can follow along with. Use simple language and avoid jargon or technical terms that might confuse your listeners. Alternatively, choose just one or two terms that you can explain briefly without having to go too in-depth.

Progress Through Each Step

As you move through your demonstration, take your time and explain each step thoroughly. Use visual aids like props, diagrams, or slides to help illustrate your points. And don’t be afraid to pause and check in with your audience to make sure they’re following along.

Invite Questions

After you’ve completed your demonstration, open the floor for questions. This is a great opportunity to engage with your audience and clarify any points that may have been unclear. Be prepared to answer questions thoughtfully and provide additional resources if needed.

Summarize and Conclude

Finally, wrap up your speech by summarizing the key points you covered and reiterating the importance of your topic. Leave your audience with a clear call to action, whether it’s to try out the skill you demonstrated or to learn more about the subject.

By following this simple structure, you’ll be well on your way to delivering a polished, effective demonstration speech. Remember to practice, stay focused, and have fun, and your passion and enthusiasm are sure to shine through.

Tips for Delivering an Effective Demonstration Speech

You’ve picked your demonstration speech topic, outlined the key points, and practiced your delivery. However, there are still a few more things you can do to really make your speech shine. Engaging your audience, for instance, and delivering a memorable, impactful presentation are two great ways to really drive your speech home.

Use Visuals to Guide Your Speech

Visual aids are an essential element of any great demonstration speech. They help illustrate your points, break up the monotony of straight talking, and give your audience something to focus on. But don’t just throw together a bunch of random images and call it a day. Your visuals should be carefully chosen to support and enhance your message.

Start by considering what type of visual aid would work best for your topic. Are you demonstrating a step-by-step process? A series of photos or diagrams might be the way to go. Explaining a complex concept? An infographic or chart could help simplify things. Trying to evoke an emotional response? A short video clip might do the trick.

Whatever you choose, make sure your visuals are high-quality, easy to see and understand, and flow logically with your speech. Practice integrating them smoothly into your presentation so they feel like a natural part of your talk, not an awkward interruption.

Engage Your Audience

No one wants to sit through a dry, boring lecture. To keep your audience interested and invested, you need to actively engage them throughout your speech. One simple way to do this is by asking questions. Pose a thought-provoking query at the beginning to get them thinking, or ask for a show of hands to gauge their experience with your topic.

You can also use humor, storytelling, and real-life examples to make your speech more relatable and memorable. Share a funny anecdote about a time you struggled with the task you’re demonstrating, or explain how this skill helped you succeed in a challenging situation. The more your audience can see themselves in your speech, the more engaged they’ll be.

Provide Additional Resources

Your speech is just the beginning. To truly empower your audience to put your teachings into practice, provide them with additional resources they can refer to later. This might include a handout with key takeaways and step-by-step instructions, a list of recommended tools or products, or links to helpful articles or videos.

You can also invite your audience to connect with you after the speech if they have additional questions or want to learn more. Provide your contact information or social media handles, and encourage them to reach out. By offering ongoing support and resources, you show that you’re truly invested in their success.

In this article:

How to Choose the Right Demonstration Speech Topic

Our list of good demonstration topics, process demonstration speech topics, health / fitness, technical how to ideas, demonstrate …, your central idea and purpose, how to introduce, your outline, the delivery of your demonstration speech topics.

You likely have plenty of processes and skills that you think would be valuable for others to know how to do, but that doesn’t mean that any topic you pick will be a good idea for your circumstance. You have to consider the complexity of the demo and whether your audience will be able to fully understand the process in the time given. Here are a few things to consider to help you choose a good demonstration speech topic:

Can We Write Your Speech?

Get your audience blown away with help from a professional speechwriter. Free proofreading and copy-editing included.

• Interests – Both you and your audience’s interests are an important factor when deciding on a demonstration speech topic. Your excitement and enthusiasm is needed to inspire the audience to care about what you are teaching. If your speech gains great audience attention, you’ll likely have questions to answer afterword. Make sure to choose a topic you are knowledgeable and confident in.
• Audience demographics – Consider what is appropriate for the group you are addressing. Aim to provide a skill that is of value to them, though be careful not to pick a topic that is either overly simple or complex.
• Setting – Consider what your presentation space is going to be like. Will you be indoors or outdoors? How much room do you have? These details will help you understand which topics will be better suited than others, given the conditions you’re delivering your speech in.
• Time limit – Think about what you can realistically teach in the time you’re given for your speech. While one topic may stand out to you, you may not be able to fully cover it if you’re only given five minutes.
• Visual aids – While your demonstration itself is a visual aid, many how-to speeches can benefit from videos, PowerPoint slideshows, and handouts. Consider what technology or props you’ll have available for your speech.

Speech topics can be broad. To give an effective demonstration speech, it’s a good idea to customize a topic to fit your unique situation. Take a speech topic that interests you and work to hone in on one central idea within that subject.

To discover the main point you want to make in your speech, determine what the specific purpose is of teaching your audience about this topic. What exactly do you want to demonstrate to your audience?

Form a clear thesis statement that answers this question in detail. Describe in one sentence what your demonstration is about and why it’s important that you share it.

Once you’ve determined the central idea of your speech, play with different action verbs to set up your main point. Here are a few phrases and verbs to frame your demonstrative speech topic:

• How to …
• Fix …
• Use …
• … Works
• … is done, produced, or made.
• Structure…
• X Steps to…

Try some of these other verbs too: deal with, draw, handle, execute, create, develop, incorporate, invent, operate, perform, or predict. Those words generate attention and they are in nature describing what your public speaking audience can expect .

These action verbs and phrases help describe to your audience what they can expect from your speech. Your headline will be more of an attention getter with these demonstration-specific words.

Below are lists of demonstration speech topics separated by category. In order to choose an effective demonstration speech topic, remember to consider your interests, audience, and what visual aids are available. Use action verbs to create an attractive headline and better target your audience.

Technical how to speech topics to present information and instructional steps in a demo oral.

Also, it is important to describe why it is important to know how to do what you are demonstrating or how it can be useful. And also warnings or things to look out for as far as safety goes.

Be sure to not let the children eat the any of the supplies or finished product. Children may need parental supervision.

How to write a Demonstration Speech

Determine the specific purpose of your matter in hand. State it in one simple sentence. E.g. I want to demonstrate how to ___ .

Determine the central idea of the text. In other words: a clear factual statement. Construe representing features or delineate the stages by using ppt picture and figure slide sheets.

They see at once what your try on is about and why you want to share it. E.g. It is important to preserve family recipes and this project is the best way in which to do that..

Determine the central idea of the text. In other words, produce a clear factual statement. Explain representing features or delineate the stages by using Powerpoint picture and figure slide sheets.

E.g. It is important to preserve family recipes, and this project is the best way in which to do that. .

Once you have decided on a demonstration topic, write an attractive, effective, and interactive attention-getting introduction. Think about these sample elementary preliminary parts:

• Tell them what you are going to teach – (metaphor for “sell”) – them.
• Why you choose to demonstrate this topic.
• Why your listeners should know how to do it. Give them a sneak peek of a few benefits.
• Tell them that they are going to do it themselves in a couple of minutes and that the only thing your audience has to do is follow your instructions.

Lay out in clear terms the procedure – the particular course of actions. You could consider a series of tactical exercises to help them feel what you mean. Design some kind of an approach for acquiring and applying the knowledge you want to share in class.

Arrange the steps. Show the activities or moves you have to make in a logical chronological order. Describe the details. Be clear.

Do not think the audience will understand your demonstration speech topics immediately. Let them ask you questions after each step before you proceed.

Conclude each step in one uncomplicated phrase. Perform these action checks on the main points before you jump to the next step.

Just show them how to do it, step by step. Have you read my checklist? Okay, let’s move forward:

First and for all, remember this ground rule: think about the rules and time limit of the assignment. Plus apply these eight public speaking tips for delivering your demonstration speech topics:

• Visual aids, such as objects, actual items, models, and drawings all can help your presentation. Do bring them in. For a large object, ask your teacher how to incorporate it.
• Include personal stories and examples.
• Provide each audience member the proper materials and ingredients to practice with.
• Ensure everyone is participating – keep eye contact, laugh, and make some funny remarks in between the lines.
• Look around you and see if your audience is following you. If not, repeat some sections. There are always people who will not understand right away, but are too shy to admit it. Assist them to jump over the hump.
• Ask yourself if someone in the audience would assist you with your demonstration. Stay patient and polite, and help if needed. Do not make a fool of that volunteer: praise their efforts in loud and clear supporting terms. You can do it!
• Close with a memorable summary or with a sharply defined call to action.
• Ask if there are any questions. And leave a handout of the explored information for people who want to know more.

Through this article, I will present demonstration speech topics along with some effective tips.

When you have selected the demonstration speech topic, make an attractive and effective starting. It is better to start with an introduction.

Follow these steps for better consequence:

• Give short description about the topic you are going to present
• Why you decide to present on the topic

There are different methods to present a demonstration speech. Some of them are listed below:

A demonstration speech deals with training the audience to carry out a task or the whole process. Just as with any instructive task, it can become helpful when your audience is motivated to learn.

It is a must to tell your audience how they get to benefit from the knowledge you are about to present. When your audience knows the reason behind learning a new task, they desire to learn.

There are different ways to encourage your audience. Yet, one of the best ways is to start the speech with a why or some motivational stories. Draw an image of how their life improves with the new knowledge.  

Earlier than you dive into the information, give an overview of the general process. An advanced outline of the steps implicated makes audiences understand the benefit of speech.

While learning a new task, some of your audience will fear that it is difficult. An early outline ensures your audience that it is not too difficult.

When you do not provide a brief, it’s complicated for your audience to understand the steps. 

The audience won’t have the essential framework. An ideal way to show the outline is a figure explaining the steps of the task at a high level.

Together with the outline, you can list the basic needs of the task, and any assumptions you are making.

For an instance, for a speech on how to format the computer, explain with images. You can also use screenshots here to make them clear.

One of the finest things about a demonstration speech is the core of your overview that is set for you. Here, you only need to endure the steps of the task in order.

Better make the sequence of steps as easy as possible. Break down the process into important steps and make your audience understand clearly.

Now, your audience has noticed the task or procedure presented from start to end. Better provide some extra options or variations.

For an instance, you are presenting on how to cook chicken. Start with the necessary description at first. After that, discuss alternate ingredients, various flavors, and other ways to cook chicken. This makes your speech interesting.

Taking queries from the audience and answering them is compatible for a demonstration speech. This lets the audience look for an explanation on any of the steps which they do not understand. Relevant to the topic and circumstances, you can decide to take questions at the end.

At last, you should summarize the procedure in brief, and review the advantages. This lets your audience know the benefits of performing a similar task.

Best Ways to Elevate Your Demonstration Speech

Below is the list of best tips on how to elevate your demonstration speech:

Your preference for audience participation is often determined by how long your presentation is.

It also includes the setting in which the expression takes place. The accessibility of supplies can be shared by the audiences as well. It will be great if you get the audience to participate in the presentation.

Every demonstration speech gets better with appropriate visuals to follow your demonstration and procedures.

For an instance, for the speech on swimming, keep different relevant images. This gives audiences an idea to swim knowing the procedures.

Find here some options:

• Your body plays a significant role – For physical task speech like playing a football, your body plays a significant role. You can express each of the steps to enhance the demonstration.
• Physical support gives the real experience – There are two different types of support and they are real and models. Real support is the actual objects used while presenting the task. Models are the fake version of the real object and scaled-down version.
• Utilize images as much as possible – When your body and physical support are not enough, use images as much as possible. When you do this, it helps to engross yourself in the images to alive the action that would be implicated.

Any type of images you prefer, make sure your audience can see them with ease. If they cannot see your images they might not understand your speech as well.

A single presentation may not be enough to guarantee your audiences gained the knowledge. To get a better result, provide resources they can use after the demonstration is over.

This covers:

• Internet, books, pamphlets, or other specialist sources. They can ask for deeper information or high-quality training.
• Handout the steps, and diagrams or images to prove key details.
• Give contact information. So that your audience can contact in the future as they try to apply the knowledge you have presented.
• The speech you present should be original by the applicant.
• Objects or physical activity by the presenter should be displayed.
• Presentations will take place in a normal-sized room. A table or desk will be supplied. All visual aids, property, and tools are to be supplied by the presenter.
• This category excludes the use of property or tools. This comprises, but not imperfect too, weapon, sharp knives, unsafe chemicals, and animals.
• Only one person should be used to help out the presenter. They can help as the object of the demonstration. They can also set up or handle the equipment. It is permissible for the assistant to be both an object of expression and to assist with equipment.
• The highest time limit ion of the speech is 10 minutes, counting set up and strikes down. A 30 second is allowed, after which one point will be reduced from the assessment item coping with the rate.

Easy Demonstration Speech Ideas

12 September, 2020

9 minutes read

Author:  Mathieu Johnson

If you ever dreamed of becoming an instructor and teach others, you can use an excellent opportunity to act like one while giving a demonstration speech. Believe us: there’ll be no better chance to engage yourself in such an exciting activity. This is probably the most encouraging task professors could ever give you. And you can now use it to share knowledge with others and learn something yourself during the process.

Demonstration speech definition

As the name implies, demonstration speech is a speech devoted to teaching the audience how to do a particular thing. It is a clear, step-by-step practical guide which intends to show people methods of using regular items and even improve someone’s life with it. Demonstration speeches exist in different forms: they can be lengthy and detailed, short and straightforward, or medium and accurate. But either way, the very essence of this task is to teach you how to put thoughts into one, well-structured, and logical sequence of steps. It might seem dubious to take such a specific assignment, but if you take time to explore all the nuances and requirements for this task, it’ll be much easier to handle it eventually. So, what are the processes involved in demonstration speech writing, and what makes trivial persuasive topics sound brilliant?

Follow our guide for more insight.

Choose Your Topic Carefully

Like with any other essay type, demonstration speech starts with topic selection. You have a vast field of “how to” speech ideas to talk about, but the ultimate choice is always on you. Also, professors often tend to give a specific topic to their students. In cases like this, it’s even easier. Regardless of what your final topic is, there’s always a need for research. Once the topic is defined, and you’re 100 percent confident that it’s going to fit the timeframe for delivery, go on to the next step, which is the audience analysis.

Examine Your Audience

There are specific criteria which can help you study the audience prior to delivering a speech. These factors include age, occupation, preferences, interests, and so on. So for example, if your listeners are professional gardeners, they’ll probably expect some useful advice on their sphere of interest. Instead of nurturing them with something as banal as “How to grow a plant,” give them real information, like “How to grow and take care of palm Washingtonia.” Likewise, if your audience composes of teenagers, speak about something thought-provoking, yet not too professional and dull. Take, for instance, the topic on how to become successful, or how to deal with depression.

Look for Credible Sources

Before writing the demonstration speech, you’ll first need some assistance to prove the credibility of your sayings. If you don’t want the audience to think like the entire speech is a fly of your imagination, you should arm yourself with relevant evidence to prove the mentioned points. There are many places you can go to, like local libraries. They contain countless books on your topic, so you can use them for your advantage. Alternatively, consider using online resources, but only credible ones if you don’t feel like walking anywhere. Even if such assistance is not enough for you, ask relatives or friends for help. Some of them might be experts in your topic, and more than willing to explain how this or that thing works.

Write a Motivational Conclusion

The best way to finish your demonstration speech is to give your audience a great insight into the process they haven’t experienced themselves. For this, you can call listeners to action and motivate them to follow your practice. Let’s review an example of a proper ending: “Now that you’ve learned about the basics of DIY table creation, you can craft one easily by yourself without costly materials and mountains of time.” Such a prominent calling will make people not only have a positive impression of your speech but also encourage them to make something useful.

Demonstration speech outline

An outline is a way to structure the information that you want to share with your audience. The outline should explicitly showcase the order of steps that you will use in your demonstration speech. Many students seem to neglect the power of creating outlines for their academic writing tasks, but in vain. The key feature that makes outlines as significant as other processes of speech creation is a schematic representation of the main ideas. It means that writing the final variant of your demonstration speech will be much easier as you have an exact plan, and you don’t need to think of the main points on the fly. As for the structure of an outline, it should contain the following elements:

• three sections – introduction, main body, and conclusion.
• the main part should be broken up into different stages of the process.
• headings and subheadings marked with letters and numbers for easier navigation throughout the outline

At the phase of plan creation, it’s also vital to adhere to theses and use them as reference points. These can be either sentences or just keywords. Do as you are accustomed to doing and feel comfortable with making amendments before proceeding with writing the speech text. For each statement, use examples from personal life to validate the adequacy of described steps. Vast reasoning is, of course, excellent, but without specifics, they do not cling. To find the response in the heart of the audience, make your how-to-do instructions more understandable. For example, if you want to explain to your audience how to make and install a wall-mounted folding table, don’t just enumerate the instruments required and tell people how to fold and unfold the table. Rather, give them proper instructions.

If you've been asked to put together a 10 minute, or less, demonstration speech for your speech class, look these 'how-to' ideas over. They're perfect for preparing short show and tell presentations to teach a new task succinctly and quickly.

Use the quick links below to get around the page easily. The topics are arranged in four batches. Begin with 'Why demonstrate something simple and ordinary?'. It could save you a lot of time!

Other topics for demonstration speeches

Before you settle on a topic, please don't overlook demonstrating a skill or a process you regard as commonplace.

If we already know how to do something competently, we have an understandable tendency to dismiss whatever it is as far too simple, and too ordinary to turn it into a demonstration speech.

And yet, that assumption can be so wrong.

There are audiences who will want to know how to do some of the things we do so efficiently and easily, that we forget we had to learn how to do them in the first place!  Many of those things are on this list.

For instance, a group of people who don’t spend a lot of time online, could find why and how to set up a safe password valuable knowledge to have. It might stop them from being hacked!

Likewise teaching people who intend to explore the great outdoors, and haven't had much prior experience, how to use a portable gas stove safely is extremely useful.

Or showing parents of children with long hair how to plait it. That will save a lot of time and tears when it comes to brushing.

And I'll always be grateful to the person who showed me how to give medicine to my beloved cat, without being scratched to bits!

Think about your audience. What would be useful for them to know? Sharing something of real benefit and value will help keep them actively interested.  *

“To communicate, we must realize that we are all different in the way we perceive the world, and use this understanding as a guide to our communication with others.” These words are quoted by Tony Robbins. If you are going to present a particular demonstrative speech to a specific audience, the key to capture the attention of the people is to have the proper knowledge and understanding of the varying perceptions of different individuals, as you tend to consider their personal views, thoughts, and opinions about the topic or theme that you will convey in your speech.

A demonstrative speech is a type of speech which aims on educating a specific audience on how to perform or do a particular activity, task, process or anything. It usually contains clear and direct instructions and steps to guide the target audience, helping them to follow the methods and techniques.

Patricia Fripp said: “When speaking in public, your message – no matter how important – will not be effective or memorable if you don’t have a clear structure.” So, you need to be determined in writing an effective and inspiring outline with a clear structure for your demonstrative speech. Below are important ways you can do to write an impressive outline for a demonstrative speech :

Is my topic technical? Does it need a wide array of steps to help my listeners understand? Can I conveniently share this knowledge with a large group of audience? The first step is you need to select an interesting topic for your demonstrative speech. There are a wide array of topics that you can discuss so you need to have a specific purpose . Remember that your topic is immensely significant to your presentation.

Next, determine who is going to be the audience of your speech . Use research tools and analyze your target audience. Dig deeper about their interests and preferences related to your topic material. In this way, you will increase the chance that your listeners will find your speech worthwhile. Ask yourself: “Will my audience learn anything in my speech?”

You need to focus for conciseness when you construct the outline of your demonstrative speech. To do this, categorize the steps into a series of main points or headings, sub-headings, and many more sub-sections. This will assist your audience to classify the things you convey in your speech.

Dale Ludwig and Greg Owen-Boger quoted: “Well-designed visuals do more than provide information; they bring order to the conversation.” Using visual aids in your demonstrative speech will maintain the interest and focus of your audience. Plus, it will further enhance the overall style of your speech. 

When writing a demonstrative speech, consider these topics for your speech: 

• How to make a blueberry cheesecake.
• How to play the violin.
• How to design your personal bullet journal.
• How to prevent stress and anxiety during the pandemic.
• How to write a monthly self-reflection essay.

Speech has many different types which includes informative speech , motivational speech, impromptu speech, oratorical speech, persuasive speech, entertaining speech, argumentative speech, demonstrative speech, and many others.

Demonstrative speech is important because it thoroughly explains a particular process, method, or how to accomplish something and provide the people some vital information with the use of visual aids like colorful illustrations, graphic images, and many others.

If you are starting a demo presentation , you need to consider capturing the interest of the people about your work. Say a welcome message and be natural as you introduce them to the topic or subject of your demo presentation. After that, emphasize the purpose and significance of your presentation in their lives and in society. 

Hilary Clinton said: “If you’re not comfortable with public speaking – and nobody starts out comfortable; you have to learn how to be comfortable – practice. I cannot overstate the importance of practicing. Get some close friends or family members to help evaluate you, or somebody at work that you trust.” So, keep on practicing on how you will deliver your speech to the public.  To help you write a clear and captivating outline for your demonstrative speech, you can click and download our demonstrative speech outline samples here!
