SpeechRepository.com emerged from necessity and passion in August 2024. Our founder, Dwight Taylor, a seasoned speechwriter with over two decades of experience crafting powerful orations for leaders in business, politics, and academia, found himself increasingly frustrated by the lack of comprehensive, high-quality speech resources available online.
Dwight’s career began in the late 1990s when he stumbled into speechwriting almost by accident. Fresh out of college with a degree in English Literature, he landed an internship at a prominent PR firm. There he discovered his knack for capturing voices and distilling complex ideas into compelling narratives. Over the years, Dwight honed his craft, working with Fortune 500 CEOs, senators, university presidents, and even a few celebrities.
Throughout his career, Dwight often searched for inspiration, examples, and templates to help kickstart his writing process or overcome writer’s block. Time and again, he was disappointed by the scattered, often low-quality resources available online. During one particularly challenging project in early 2024, Dwight had his eureka moment: why not create the very resource he had always wished existed?
This spark led to the creation of SpeechRepository.com. Dwight envisioned a comprehensive digital library of speeches covering every conceivable topic, from wedding toasts to TED Talks, from political stump speeches to corporate keynotes. He wanted to create a platform that would serve as a wellspring of inspiration for professional speechwriters, public speakers, and anyone looking to improve their oratory skills.
Launching the site was no small feat. Dwight invested his savings into the project and spent countless nights curating content, reaching out to fellow speechwriters for contributions, and fine-tuning the user experience. He assembled a team of passionate writers, researchers, and web developers who shared his vision of democratizing access to high-quality speech content.
Today, SpeechRepository.com stands as proof of Dwight’s vision and perseverance. Our growing collection features thousands of sample speeches, each carefully crafted and categorized for easy access. We’re a community of speech enthusiasts, writers, and public speakers united by our love for the spoken word.
Our mission has three main goals:
- To provide inspiration and practical examples for speechwriters and public speakers at all levels.

Whether you’re a professional speechwriter looking for fresh ideas, a nervous bride-to-be writing your wedding vows, or a student preparing for a class presentation, SpeechRepository.com is here to help you craft the perfect words for any occasion.
