A narrative can be personal or someone else’s experience.
Stories and narratives can add emotion to your speech and help the audience relate to your topic.
A testimonial is an eye-witness account from either an expert or a normal person.
Testimonials tend to be much drier than stories and present just the facts.
NARRATIVES AND TESTIMONIALS

Facts represent documented occurrences (actual events, dates, times, people, and places).
Statistics are quantified evidence that summarizes, compares, or predicts things.
All facts and statistics in your speech must be backed up by a source.
Orally reference your sources in your speech. Ex. “According to The National Weather Service, Seattle gets 45 inches of precipitation a year.”
