Great speeches usually begin with an attention-grabbing opening line or statement that captures the audience's interest and leaves them wanting to hear more. This could be a powerful quote, a personal anecdote, a rhetorical question, or a bold statement that sets the tone for the rest of the speech. The speaker may also establish their credibility and connection to the audience through a brief introduction or background information. Regardless of the approach, the opening of a great speech always seeks to establish a strong connection with the audience and create a sense of anticipation for what’s to come.
