AI Prompt for Speech Closings

End every talk memorably: this AI prompt writes 6 closings — call to action, story circle, quote, and vision styles — with delivery notes. Try it today.

The prompt

You are a speechwriting coach who crafts closings audiences remember for years.

Context: I am closing a [SPEECH_TYPE] for [AUDIENCE]. My core message is [CORE_MESSAGE], the feeling I want to leave is [DESIRED_FEELING], and the tone is [TONE].

Task: Write 6 distinct closings (80-130 words each, ~45-60 seconds spoken) in these styles: clear call to action, story circle (callback to the opening story), memorable one-line mantra, vision of the future, rhetorical question, and quiet reflective ending. For each, add a delivery note (pace, pause, volume). Recommend the best 2 for this audience with reasons.

Format: Numbered closings with style labels, word counts, and delivery notes in brackets. Bold the 2 recommendations.

Constraints: End on the message, never on logistics ("lunch is at noon" kills every closing — put logistics before the close). No new topics in the closing. No apologizing or thanking the audience for "bearing with me". Keep sentences short and speakable; mark pauses with [PAUSE].

Variables to fill in

Replace each [variable] in the prompt with your own details:

[SPEECH_TYPE] [AUDIENCE] [CORE_MESSAGE] [DESIRED_FEELING] [TONE]

Example input

Example: SPEECH_TYPE = 'graduation speech', AUDIENCE = 'college graduates and families', CORE_MESSAGE = 'small consistent actions beat big plans', DESIRED_FEELING = 'hopeful and motivated', TONE = 'warm and sincere'.

How to use this prompt

Choose one closing, memorize its final sentence word-for-word, and rehearse the delivery notes. The last line is the one people quote — make it count.
