Funny Speeches: Personal Style

Video Transcript

"Now the next thing you want to think about when you're talking about incorporating humor into your speech, or you might even be wanting to incorporate humor into your style as a communicator, the important thing is that whatever you do and however you do it that you make it your own. You make it your style. David Letterman's funny because he's David Letterman and he has a certain style that's very dry, that's very sarcastic where Whoopi Goldberg has a totally different style. Everybody that's funny, whether they're funny or not, speaker or not, they have a certain style about the type of humor that they use so whatever it is that you're coming up with, don't try to copy what someone else has done. It's already been done. Come up with what works for you."
