So make sure you have real hard evidence to back-up what you are saying, and you should use it well.
Logos – logic: A speech should not be all emotion, Aristotle knows you must convince your audience with logical argument and explanation – that you need to be clear and considered. So motivate your audience by appealing to their emotions and needs eg evoke an emotional response by telling a story make a promise, and say they can count on your efforts give the listeners a ‘we’ feeling ask provocative rhetorical questions and give simple and convincing answers ask for the help and support of your audience. Pathos – emotion: Aristotle was very aware that it isn’t just what you say, but the emotion behind it that will grab an audience. And be aware that you will need to demonstrate that your sources and evidence are reliable and trustworthy. He is absolutely right! Make sure to mention your experience and draw on your experience during your presentation. Ethos - credibility/competence: He said that every presenter should demonstrate their credibility and authority. 
The other orator from the ancient world who had some useful things to say about speech making was Aristotle, who suggested there are three components of a persuasive speech: wordplay: play on words eg using a pun - a chicken crossing the road is poultry in motion.triad: talking in threes (see alliteration and anaphora above!).metaphor: where you convey an idea by talking about it as something else - he is flying by the seat of his pants.irony: implying the opposite of what is actually said, “Yes, I forgot my keys, and of course I just love standing outside in the freezing cold in just a tee-shirt”.

climax: arranging ideas in a series with increasing force - first they came for the gypsies, then they came for the communists, then they came for the Jews, then they came for me.chiasmus: where two or more clauses are related to each other through a reversal of structures - you can take the girl out of the city but you can’t take the city out of the girl.
anaphora: repeating a word at the beginning of a series of phrases - bonded labour robs children of their education, it robs them of their childhood and it robs them of their future. alliteration: a sort phrase where all the words start with the same letter - she is tall, talented and treacherous. Here are some of the rhetorical devices he identified – which are as useful today as they were 2000 years ago: These devices give a special power to what we’re saying - so it is not surprising that speech writers down the ages have searched for, and developed, rhetorical devices to ensure that a speech is as effective as it can be.Īnd it really has been ‘down the ages’- the Roman lawyer, Cicero, wrote about oratory in 46BC! He said the goal of the orator was to prove your point, to delight and to move the audience. We all use rhetorical devices, all the time, in our everyday conversation – things like rhetorical questions, metaphors to describe a situation vividly, warm words to get people to trust us.
