Introduce a celebrity NO POLITICAL FIGURES. Then, go back and review all of the characteristics of a speech of introduction. You may want an outline or write out the speech in its entirety (although you certainly do not want to read the presentation). Then, practice the speech, and record it as many times as necessary for you to be satisfied that you have a submission worthy to be viewed by the class. Then, as you did in Unit I, submit the oral presentation by including the YouTube link in a Word document.

Below is a list of considerations for the speech of introduction. Please review the lessons from this unit to see the full explanations supporting the points below.

1. The single most important point and function of a speech of introduction is to let an audience for a particular person and to build enthusiasm if possible.
2. Keep in mind that you, as the person doing the introduction, are not to draw attention to yourself and what you think but, rather, should focus entirely on the person being introduced.
3. A speech of introduction is as brief and succinct as possible to get the job of the introduction done well. Obviously, a very famous person requires more time to cite his or her accolades.
4. Every point made about the person being introduced must be perfectly accurate and never exaggerated or, worse, incorrect.
5. Practice if necessary, but have the name of the person being introduced perfectly correct.
6. Be consistent with the tone of the occasion and person being introduced.
7. Although perhaps a part of #4, never praise the person being introduced too much.
8. Keep in mind that one of the oldest conventions of a speech of introduction is to hold the full name of the person being introduced for last, perhaps to be given at the time the person is making an entrance.
