Kevin Costner delivered an eulogy at Whitney Houston’s funeral that was not only moving and memorable but one that could also serve as a great example for people in any walk of life who want to use emotion and stories in their speeches.
Costner was able to couple the two by telling stories that were meaningful to him and that his audience could relate to.
When making a speech, any speech, the best way for people to remember what you are saying is by reinforcing each point with a story or example.
Costner didn’t just say that he had a long relationship with Houston, he gave various examples of the situations they found themselves in and how they worked together to make a memorable and successful movie.
