The host can also have guest feel out a questionnaire.Hiring a person to speak is not successful unless they talk about what they are suppose to. In order words, a speech about the development of birds is not right when the speech is suppose to be about telling students how to get jobs. Some event hosts will request that a speaker submit their speeches ahead of time to prevent the wrong topic from being given.Polling the audience to see if they remember what was said. This is a great way of knowing if the speech was effective. If the audience members do not remember what the speech was about it was not effective. There are other things that can affect this such as location of the audience member and sound quality; however, most speakers that are good give memorable speeches.Another aspect of an effective speech is whether or not it is understandable. No one wants to sit and listen to a person that they do not understand. This means that the speaker needs to speak in language that the average audience can understand. If the speaker is Russian and speaking to a English speaking audience it would be ineffective for the Russian. Likewise is the use of adult language effective for elementary age students.A speech should not be too long that it looses the attention of the audience. When the speech gets too long it tends to have the audience members drift into their thoughts. This means that they are may forget about any information they received.

However, they must provide a speech that keeps the audience attention, concise, and understandable. If they are able to achieve these things they are successful. This is how to judge an event for its success.
