This could be worked into the text perfectly.
Many good ideas all round and thanks to everyone.

: I think that would'nt necessarily mean that the persoon saying the words was emotional, it points more at the way it is received by the audience

I think the sense is the same, i.e. you cannot produce emotion if it isn't there to start with

: Good choice, this means emotional, but in a positive way, which is the tone of the sentence.

...seemed very touched when giving his (her) farewell speech
not literal but just an idea, you can say emotional but more about some one than something like words (am I wrong?)
