How do you referance someone you heard speak?

usually “i heard such from this person” “this is a quote from” “I am quoting”

I think it’s generally cited as “a personal communication.” check this http://owl.english.purdue.edu/workshops/hypertext/apa/sources/intext.html (end of the page).

Just go to easybib.com, and select “lecture” or “speaker” or whatever option they give you, type the details into the appropriate boxes, and you’re good to go.

EITHER: Personal communication from Professor Simon Greenfield on Monday 23rd September 2007.

OR: Greenfield, Simon. Remarks made by Professor Greenfield on Monday 23rd September 2007 at the annual meeting of the History Department, University of the West Indies, Mona, Jamaica.

These formats worked for me.

If you want to use a reference (not referance) in your essay, try to provide as much information about who, what, where and when you heard it, in the footnote.
