Mini narrative speech topics tutorial with 10 ways to find speech topics for your narrative. The primary goal of this type of informative public speaking is constructing a true or fictional narrative speech story about yourself and make a point. Here's how.

What's the point? It can be a personal past or present experience, event, knowledge, a memorable person you have met or a moral lesson. Explore and reflect on your values and build up to a climax at the end of the narrative speech.

1. A good place to start the narrative speech writing process is with a memorable moment, situation, setting or scene. Try to catch it in one phrase: At X-mas I ... and then a verb. E.g. At X-mas I think, I want, I'm going, I was, I stated, etcetera. After the verb you can fill in every experience you want to share.

2. An incident in the previous 10 years or in your childhood that illustrates who you are.

3. The story behind a personal photograph or video.

4. Highlight a few of your typical behavior or characteristics.

5. Something you absolutely dislike or hate.

6. An exciting, interesting, inspiring or funny experience or event that changed your life.

7. An important lesson you learned from someone you admire. These are very classical narrative speech topics.

8. The moment in your life you see the light, or that was very insightful.

9. A fable or myth that has a moral lesson you try to live to.

10. The relation between a brief series of important milestones in your life that mould your character are also catchy narrative speech topics.
