Strong Techniques
Rhetorical Questions
These work best when you have given the audience enough info that you are confident they can make the final decisions themselves. People are more likely to believe in something if they don't feel forced
Statistical Evidence
Stats are a great backbone for any argument. Don't over rely on them or you will sound like an emotionless robot.
-
Concession
The is when you concede some ground in an effort to show that you are the more reasonable of the two options. The trick is that you only give up ground you don't mind losing
Dichotomy
This frames the discussion as two sided and then forces the audience to make a decision. Works great when the audience doesn't want to consider the issue because it is uncomfortable. "If you don't donate you organs, you are okay with people needlessly dying.
Shock tactics
If you have found evidence of something shocking, stress it's importance and use it better your argument. For example, an organ donor can save up to 9 lives. If you used shock tactics to present this argument, you would rewrite this fact to emphasise its importance; "9 people have been saved from death and suffering thanks to ...'s sacrifice."
-
Emotion
If you sound bored or like you don't care, expect the audience to be bored or not care about your topic. If getting your audience angry would help, express some anger yourself. Importantly, make sure to always appear rational. Your emotions should never be the only thing the audience notices.
Patterns in speaking, e.g. Parallelism, repetition, etc.
Parallelism is the use of components in a sentence that are grammatically the same; or similar in their construction, sound, meaning. For example; They say tougher guns laws do not decrease gun violence. We call BS. They say a good guy with a gun stops a bad guy with a gun. We call BS. They say guns are just tools like knives and are as dangerous as cars. We call BS.
