- Reference Page: Any speech that utilizes outside sources will require a reference page. (Meaning, only if all the materials of your speech came from first-hand experience would you not need a reference mage, i.e. how to perform a task you complete on a regular basis for your job). If you bring in facts, statistics, quotes, etc. you will need a reference page. These should be completed using APA
