How to Write a Speech with Midjourney
Midjourney is primarily an AI image generation tool, but it can become a powerful ally in speech writing. How? By helping you visualize your ideas, create impactful visual metaphors, and design graphic supports that will reinforce your message. A good speech does not rely solely on words: it relies on strong mental images that your audience will remember. By using Midjourney to visually explore your themes, you will discover unexpected narrative angles, original metaphors, and illustrations that bring your message to life. This tutorial guides you step by step to harness Midjourney's creative power to structure, enrich, and illustrate a memorable and impactful speech.
Prerequisites
- 1.Have an active Midjourney account with an active subscription
- 2.Have access to Discord or the Midjourney web interface
- 3.Know the main topic of your speech and your target audience
- 4.Master the basics of writing prompts in English (Midjourney works best in English)
Steps
Define the central theme and generate a visual idea map
Before writing, use Midjourney to visually explore your theme. Generate several images around your main subject to bring out associations of ideas, metaphors, and narrative angles you might not have considered. Analyze the produced images: what emotions do they evoke? What symbols appear? These visual elements will become the pillars of your speech and help you find an original thread.
/imagine a conceptual mind map about [YOUR_TOPIC], symbolic, abstract art, interconnected ideas flowing like rivers, warm lighting, inspirational atmosphere --ar 16:9 --v 6
Create visual metaphors for each part of the speech
A powerful speech relies on strong mental images. For each key section of your speech (introduction, development, conclusion), generate an image that embodies the message you want to convey. For example, if you talk about transformation, ask Midjourney to represent a metamorphosis. Then describe these images with words in your speech to create vivid, memorable passages that your audience can visualize.
/imagine a powerful visual metaphor for [CONCEPT_OF_YOUR_SECTION], cinematic composition, emotional lighting, photorealistic, storytelling atmosphere --ar 16:9 --v 6
Design supporting visuals for your presentation
If your speech is accompanied by a presentation (slides, background screen), use Midjourney to create custom, professional visuals. Unlike generic stock images, Midjourney allows you to produce illustrations perfectly aligned with your message. Create one visual per key slide while maintaining stylistic consistency. These images will reinforce the emotional impact of your words and capture your audience's attention.
/imagine presentation slide background for a speech about [TOPIC], minimalist, elegant, [DOMINANT_COLOR] tones, professional, clean composition, no text --ar 16:9 --v 6
Test the emotional impact of your speech with key scenes
Before finalizing your text, visually test the strong moments of your speech. Ask Midjourney to represent the scene you describe: if the generated image evokes emotion, your text is on the right track. If the image falls flat, rework your passage. This 'storyboarding' technique allows you to ensure that each key moment of your speech carries the desired emotion and creates a coherent narrative progression.

Finalize and harmonize the overall visual and textual ensemble
Gather all generated images and read through your speech while browsing them. Check the consistency between your words and visuals. Adjust Midjourney prompts if necessary to achieve a uniform style (same color palette, same ambiance). Polish your text by ensuring transitions between sections are smooth and the visual metaphors you integrated flow naturally. Export your final visuals in high resolution for your presentation.

Common mistakes to avoid
- ✗Using Midjourney to generate text directly in images — the tool handles typography poorly and this is not its optimal use for a speech
- ✗Neglecting visual consistency between different generated images, resulting in a disjointed set during the presentation
- ✗Getting lost in image generation at the expense of writing the speech itself — Midjourney is a help tool, not a substitute for writing
- ✗Forgetting to adapt the visual tone to your audience — visuals that are too artistic for a corporate audience, or too sober for a creative event
- ✗Not checking the usage rights of generated images according to your Midjourney subscription type before public distribution
