Funny Persuasive Speech Topics
Persuading and/or convincing an audience to understand your point of view takes a lot of work. If you have a speech to deliver and are searching for funny persuasive speech topics, the following article can be of some help and inspiration...
For many, giving a speech is like being handed the One Ring from The Lord of the Rings. It's a huge responsibility and the pressure is intense (and somehow at the back of your mind, you feel that everyone's out to get you).
With sweaty palms and elevated heartbeats, most of us try to avoid delivering a speech in front of a large audience. However, looking at it as a scary task, why not have a positive outlook. A speech helps in communicating with an audience and making them understand or see a particular side of a topic. The language you use, favoring a side, tone and pace, volume, confidence, and your body language, all matter while delivering the speech.
Including a bit of humor, not just in your speech but the topic as well, helps in lessening the stress. Which is why, we've given a few speech topic ideas for preteens, teens, and college students. Depending on the age group of your audience, you can select the topic and do the necessary research.

Delivering a speech, regardless of age, is tough. Not everyone is comfortable giving an elaborate speech in front of his/her peers and seniors. Which is why, it's essential to select a topic that you're comfortable with. If you're not interested in a particular topic, researching for the subject and delivering the speech will become tougher. Consult with your teacher/professor on whichever topic you select and make sure to calm your nerves before going on the podium.
