A good speech should be well-researched, and many times you will be using facts, statistics, quotes, or opinions from others throughout your speech. This applies to direct quotations, paraphrasing, and summarizing. You must orally cite. Citations also give you credibility as a speaker.
To orally cite something, you will need to give sufficient information about the source. Typically, this is the author, title, and date of a source. By including this information, you allow your listeners to find your original sources, as well as allow them to hear that your sources are recent and are credible.
