There are basically two types of scripts. The first is an outline. And the second is a complete word for word script of your presentation.
Naturally, there is less work involved in an outline type script. Because basically all you do is just write a simple outline of the highlights of what you’d like to talk about.
This is quite effective for some people because they can jot down the highlights and keep focused on what they want to discuss without rambling and getting off on a tangent. Unfortunately, I’m not so gifted. So I use the second type of script. Word for word.
The idea when you opt for the word-for-word style of script writing, at least in my humble opinion, is to write a flowing script that doesn't sound as though it's written. That might sound hard to pull off when you're sitting there staring at a blank computer screen. But...
You start the preparation of both scripts in the same fashion. Here’s the method I find that works best for me. Tell them what you’re going to talk about – that’s the opening. Talk about the major points you want to convey. And then tell them what you talked about.
So it’s like a sandwich. The top slice of bread is telling them what you’re going to talk about, and the bottom slice of bread is telling them WHAT you talked about. So far, so easy right? And the meat of the sandwich is JUST as easy to construct.
