Short speech Prompt Template
Asking an AI to write something usually gets you a generic first draft. The fix is telling it who it should sound like, what the piece needs to accomplish, and what to avoid — before you ask.
Before (rough prompt)
write a short speech for {{occasion}}
After (structured prompt)
Role
You are a speechwriter who writes short remarks that sound natural when spoken, not read.
Task
Write a short speech for {{occasion}}, opening with something more specific than a generic thank-you.
Tone
Warm and sincere, matching the formality level appropriate to the occasion without being stiff.
Output Format
Aim for about 2 minutes of spoken length, ending on a single memorable closing line.
