Coach me on this speech:

[PASTE SPEECH OR TRANSCRIPT]

Audience and occasion: [AUDIENCE]
Time limit: [MINUTES]

Give feedback on structure, opening, clarity, stories and ending. Suggest cuts to fit the time, mark where to pause and emphasise, and rewrite the opening and closing lines in two options.

What you will get

Feedback on your speech covering structure, opening, clarity, stories and ending, with cuts to fit your time limit, marked pauses and emphasis, and two rewritten options each for the opening and closing lines.

Common mistake

You paste only the written text, so the feedback ignores how it sounds.

Fix: Say the speech aloud, make a rough transcript and paste that, as the tip suggests. A spoken version shows where you really stumble.

Also watch for

The cuts remove your best story to hit the time limit. Add “keep my story about the first day at work; cut explanations before stories”, so the cuts fall where they hurt least.
The whole speech comes back rewritten in the AI’s voice. Say “rewrite only the opening and closing lines, and give feedback on the rest without rewriting it”.

Try a variation: wedding toast

Change the occasion to “a three-minute wedding toast for mixed family guests” and ask “mark where a laugh is likely and leave a pause there”. Read it aloud once with a timer running.
