When you tell stories in a speech, be very descriptive.

You could say, She gave me a bunch of flowers.

Or you say, She gave me a bunch of red, yellow and orange spring flowers.

You could say, I crossed the street.

Or you say, I crossed the dimly lit street.

You could either say, A friend of mine from the UK.

Or you could say, A college buddy of mine from Bristol, with whom I shared a room and some of the best days of my life.

As public speakers we can learn from great novelists like Thomas Mann, Ernest Hemingway or Charles Dickens. Be more descriptive; add color to your speech content. Play with the imagination of your audience.

Boost your content even more by being more descriptive.
