Motivational Speech Archive was started by Beatrice Peter Schuett in January 2016 and consists of mostly fictional motivational speeches that she has extracted from movies and TV shows. They are collected on various social media platforms and can be shared, listened to and used by others. Beatrice wants to know, has the meaning of these speeches shifted after they have been ripped from their place in a narrative, a storyline? Cinema can hold such great power over its viewers, and sometimes its stories seep over into real life.
What do these motivational speeches feel like in their abundance, what do they become? Are they suspended? Are they, at their core, a positive influence or do they become oppressive?

update 2021: the archive currently is not being updated.

update July 2017: I am re-editing all speeches in this archive to give them a feel that the characters are speaking exclusively to the listener.

In 2016 I started collecting fictional motivational speeches from movies and TV shows. So far I have excerpted 200 monologues from mostly Hollywood films, mostly from the 80s - 2010s. I am in the process of editing them in such a way that they speak to the listener directly without interruptions by other characters or specifying the vocation or activity they were originally referring to. I am collecting them on various social media platforms where they can be shared, listened to and used by others. I want to know, has the meaning of these speeches shifted after they have been ripped from their place in a narrative, a story line? Cinema can hold such great power over its viewers, and sometimes its stories seep over into real life. What do these motivational speeches feel like in their abundance, what do they become? Are they suspended? Are they, at their core, a positive influence or do they become oppressive in their simplicity?
