So what makes a speech memorable?

• The speaker's image
  The people who have an important status or a good reputation are the ones that people will listen to.

Let's recap what makes a speech convincing

• Structure it logically
• Involve yourself: Use "I" or "we"
• Address & involve  the audience: Use "you"
• Provide reliable information: Use definitions, scientific evidence, statistics…
• Appeal to people's emotions: Share your experience with them, make them relate to you, smile, laugh…
