How to Write an Appreciation Speech

Doing a appreciation speech is a pretty big deal. It can be hard putting together something when they've done something so profound that words just don't seem to come together right. Hopefully, with these steps you can really show them appreciation.

Things You'll Need

• paper
• pen

Instructions

1. 

   First stop and think why you are doing a appreciation speech. What happened? Write down what they did for the title. IE: Appreciation Speech, for D.E. - saving someone's life and start your speech out telling what they did. You don't want to leave people in the dark with just suddenly thanking them for something. When you are doing the title put their name right next to it, and make sure to address their name.

2. 

   After you inform people of what they did always say how it touched your life. Don't be afraid to show emotion. Tell them how your life was beforehand, and how it is like now because of what they did. Show pictures if you can, or do a video show.

3. 

   To end the appreciation speech, say what changes are in the process because of them, and what people can expect. End it in a formal, yet thankful way. If you know of a singer, get them to sing, and dedicate a song to them.

Tips & Warnings

• Always make sure to sip on something before hand, and say things in a clear voice. Don't mutter, or look down a lot.

• Never say something that might embarrass someone. This is to show appreciation, not humiliation.
