INTRODUCTION

After listening to the speeches of the champions, you may have noticed that
aside from the speech content, their delivery was also essential to their victory. The
speakers seemed so natural and at ease that you wonder: Are effective speakers
made, or are they naturally born effective speakers? It is true that some people are
born with special gifts in public speaking, but it is also true that most of the best
public speakers either underwent intensive formal training or got involved in several
speaking situations that, over time, enabled them to hone the skill. This module will
help you present your message in a clear, coherent, and interesting way.

In order for you to be able to finish and grasp the lesson in this module
please be guided with the following:

REVIEW OF THE PREVIOUS MODULE

The previous module discussed how to write a good speech. Writing for public
speaking isn’t so different from other types of writing. You want to engage your
audience’s attention, convey your ideas in a logical manner and use reliable
evidence to support your point. But the conditions for public speaking favor some
writing qualities over others. When you write a speech, your audience is made up of
listeners. They have only one chance to comprehend the information as you read it,
so your speech must be well-organized and easily understood. In addition, the
content of the speech and your delivery must fit the audience.

PRESENTATION OF THE NEW MODULE

As a student of public speaking, you should know that public speaking is not
simply reading your speech or talking about your topic. It requires making
connections with your audience and presenting yourself formally to the public. There
are tools that can help you develop your speech. Practice I front of a mirror and
observe your own delivery with these tools in mind. Alternatively, you can practice in
front of your family, friends, classmates, or those who have already done public
speaking. You can ask for feedback or seek advice from them. Explore which tools
work best for you and develop a habit of effective delivery to enhance your public
speaking skill.

ANALYSIS

You are the tourism ambassadors of the Philippines who are tasked to
promote the best features of the country and its overall positive image to local and
foreign visitors. Your task is to prepare and deliver a three-minute speech in a World
Tourism Expo in London to convince the participants to visit the Philippines.
After you deliver the speech, answer the following questions:
1. What do you like most about the presentation?
2. How do you think can the speech be improved?

ABSTRACTION

How to Deliver a Speech Effectively?

Following are techniques and tips to help you deliver your speech well:
1. Use a conversational style more often. This is the style that is more natural; it
is the style that you always use when you express yourself with your family
and friends. Audience members do not like the speaker to sound unnatural or
exaggerated.
2. Look your audience members in the eye so they will feel that they are part of
your speech. Eye contact should be maintained to keep the attention of your
audience and enhance your delivery.
3. Remember to adjust your volume to the size of the audience and the venue.
When addressing a large audience, modulate your voice in such a way that
you speak loudly without sounding like shouting or yelling.
4. Vary your rate or speed to keep your audience interested and to avoid a
monotone pattern. The audience might get bored if you speak very slowly and
they might get confused if you speak very fast. Hence, your rate should be at
an appropriate speed.
5. Master your voice and find your pitch level (high or low). If you have a high
pitch level, modulate or slightly move it down. If you have a low pitch level,
modulate or slightly move it up. Your performance will definitely be affected if
you do not modulate.
6. Use pauses when you emphasize the most important words, phrases, or
sentences. Your pauses should not last for three seconds. Otherwise, it will
result in dead air or a moment of awkward silence.
7. Pronounce and enunciate words correctly. You will confuse the audience if
you mispronounce words, and it could distract them and affect your credibility.
8. Avoid fillers or expressions that substitute actual words in your speech
because there words are distracting. Examples of fillers are “like,” “um,” “ah,”
“uh,” and “er.” To reduce the use of these fillers, detect the instances when
you use them: Do you generally use fillers after each sentence, between
different ideas, or whenever you make transitions? Then, instead of using
them the next time you deliver a speech, simply stop and pause.

4
9. Start your speech by standing straight and balancing your weight. This will
give a positive first impression.
10. Use precise movements. Avoid distracting mannerisms like swaying back and
forth, leaning on the podium, licking or biting your lips, playing with your
wristwatch or jewelry, scratching parts of your body, frowning, and others.
Observe your mannerisms and learn how to avoid them when speaking in
public.
11. Avoid having a poker face or a highly animated face. These facial expressions
appear distracting and may even be annoying. Instead, follow the most highly
suggested tip: smile. However, make sure that the meaning of your speech
reflects in your facial expressions; do not smile if you are talking about
something sad.
12. Dress properly and appropriately. Wearing the proper attire will make you look
more confident and professional. Make sure not to overdress, as this may
distract your audience.
13. Observe ethics by coming prepared, being honest with your words, being
polite, avoiding offensive words and back-biting or talking negative things
about other people, or copying someone’s work without proper
documentation.
