In order to both display a mastery over the crowd and to better project one’s voice, leaders often give speeches on some type of raised platform. A special favorite is a prominent balcony from a palace or mansion. In media, such speeches can be portrayed positively or negatively, depending on the speaker. If it’s a popular monarch or head of state, then they are likely trying to encourage their people during a time of great danger or struggle or declaring victory after the Evil Overlord’s attempt at conquest was thwarted. If it’s an Action Politician, then it is especially likely that they are giving a Rousing Speech. If The Hero Dies bravely in battle, then this may also serve as a eulogy. However, if the leader is demagogue, then expect this to be a case of Putting on the Reich with plenty of Hitler Cam shots. The crowds will be likely be whipped up into a frenzy, and if it’s a musical it may turn into an Angry Mob Song. In the case of villain victory, then this will likely be a New Era Speech. But if it’s a more established People's Republic of Tyranny, the crowd may look pathetic and disinterested and only give weak, obligatory cheers. In this case or in the case of a Near-Villain Victory, expect The Hero and his crew to stage a very appropriate interruption of the events. Compare with Rousing Speech and Rabble Rouser. See also Emergency Presidential Address. |

King Smurf in The Smurfs comic book story of the same name (and its Animated Adaptation) delivers one from the balcony of his newly-finished royal palace, thanking his "loyal" subjects for its completion. However, only one Smurf remains standing to give applause to the speech, saying "Long live King Smurf". | |

In The Adventures of Buckaroo Banzai Across the 8th Dimension, John Lithgow, portraying Earth scientist Dr. Emilio Lazardo who is possessed by alien villain Lord John Warfan gives such a speech to his men before taking off to invade their home world in another dimension. He constantly mugs in the style of Benito Mussolini (making you wonder which personality knew about that) including a rousing call to arms: | |

Used twice in the first "V" miniseries. In the first case, Visitor leader Diana is standing on a balcony above a crowd and giving a wonderful speech of friendship when the Resistance fighters break in and rip off her fake skin, exposing her as being a Lizard Person. A couple of days later, the Visitors re-enact the whole scene, with Diana giving her speech from the same balcony with cheering spectators below... but this time, there are a couple of Visitor flunkies off-camera holding up CueCards to tell the crowd when to laugh and cheer, and a large number of armed guards are standing around, also off-camera, to make sure no one tries any tricks. |

Denethor in The Return of the King subverts this, telling the Gondorian army to flee for their lives when Sauron's army is at the gates of Minas Tirith. (Not so much from a balcony as over the top of the highest level of the city, but it serves the same purpose.) | |

Water (1985). The Cascaran Liberation Front (all two of them) try singing to the masses to make them turn away from signing up with American oil company Spenco. No-one pays much attention until an American executive, annoyed at their bad singing, offers a hundred bucks to anyone who nails them. An attempt to escape from the balcony by jumping onto a pair of bicycles doesn't end well. | |

Used several times in Avatar: The Last Airbender, as befits the the Fire Nation. When Admiral Zhao captures Aang, he makes a Balcony speech to his troops, complete with bombastic statements about Fire being the "Superior Element". When Azula and Zuko return to the Fire Nation, Li and Lo announce them to a crowd which is understandably thrilled to hear the war is practically won. When Firelord Ozai finally departs to do something, he announces to the Imperial Firebenders supporting him that he is now the PHOENIX KING! |

In Middle-earth: Shadow of War, every siege begins with the defending orc Warlord giving out a speech from atop the main fortress's balcony to assure Talion, and his forces, that he has no hope of winning. Once you conquer the fortress, Talion and Celebrimbor give a joint speech every time a region is conquered. Every speech is actually somewhat terrifying, with Celebrimbor's voice superimposed over Talion's and the aggressive, almost manic tone they use to promise pain and suffering for their enemies. Given they're giving a speech to uruks, though, that may simply be playing to the crowd. | |

Gulcasa delivers one of these in Blaze Union at his coronation. The recipients of the speech—the remnants of the former Imperial Army and the nobility, who have never been exposed to his ideals—are initially ambivalent towards their new sovereign, thinking "at least it's impossible for this guy to be worse than our last emperor". Once Gulcasa is done talking, he has their complete and undying loyalty. In Yggdra Union, Gulcasa's rejection of Yggdra's demands for his unconditional surrender is also one of these, as he's standing atop the city ramparts and addressing the enemy army gathered beneath. |

Aladdin: The Sultan, when announcing the wedding of Jasmine and "Prince Ali". Al is then pushed out into the balcony and in front of the cheering crowd, for extra embarrassment. | |

Revenge of the Sith: While it doesn't take place on a balcony, Palpatine's speech to the Senate announcing the rise of The Empire serves the same function. Then again, a pod rising a hundred feet off the ground is close enough to a balcony. | |

The Lord of the Rings In 'The Two Towers'', Saruman makes such a speech from Orthanc to his army before they march for Helm's Deep. Denethor in The Return of the King subverts this, telling the Gondorian army to flee for their lives when Sauron's army is at the gates of Minas Tirith. (Not so much from a balcony as over the top of the highest level of the city, but it serves the same purpose.) |

The first scene of BBC's Merlin has Uther Pendragon doing one of these about the execution of a sorcerer. Several major characters who live in the castle watch from behind him or windows, while Merlin and a large cast of extras watch from below. Uther does this almost whenever he's executing someone. |
