The document discusses four methods of speech delivery: impromptu speaking, extemporaneous speaking, manuscript speaking, and memorized speaking. It provides details on the characteristics, advantages, and disadvantages of each method. Impromptu speaking involves little preparation, extemporaneous speaking uses brief notes, manuscript speaking reads from a written text, and memorized speaking recites from memory.

Speeches According to

DELIVERY
Learning Objectives

At the end of the lesson, you


should be able to:

a. identify the different speeches


according to delivery;
b. deliver an oral speech
efficiently; and
c. understand when to use each
of the four methods of speech
delivery
Speech delivery
One of the most important aspect in delivering a
speech aside from the presentation of the speech
which entails research, organization, outlining, and
practicing.
Delivery is a result of the combination of two kinds of
communication which is verbal communication and
nonverbal communication.
Students may have the impulse to avoid "messing it up"
by simply reading it word for word. Students who do
this miss out on one of the major reasons for studying
public speaking: to learn ways to "connect" with one's
audience and to increase one's confidence in doing so.
How could this connectivity be achieved?
Impromptu speaking

Is the presentation of a short message


without advance preparation. Impromptu
speeches often occur when someone is
asked to "say a few words" or give a toast on
a special occasion. You have probably done
impromptu speaking times in informal,
conversational settings Self-introductions in
group settings are examples of impromptu
speaking.
Advantage of speaking
The speaker is given little or no time to contemplate the
central theme of his or her message.
As a result, the message may be disorganized and
difficult for listeners to follow.
Extemporaneous speaking
Is a presentation of a carefully planned
and rehearsed speech, spoken in a
conversational manner using brief notes.
By using notes rather than a full
manuscript, the extemporaneous can
establish and maintain eye contact with
the audience and assess how well they
understand the speech as it progress.
The opportunity to assess is also an
opportunity to restate more clearly any
idea or concept that the audience seems
to have trouble grasping.
Advantage of extemporaneous
speaking
It promotes the likelihood that you, the speaker, will be
perceived as knowledgeable and credible.
Your audience is likely to pay better attention to the
message because it is engaging both verbally and
nonverbally
The speaker can rely each word through eye contact
to the audience.
The outline created can also help the speaker
remember the important point in his/her speech.
Disadvantage of
extemporaneous speaking
It requires a great deal of preparation for both
verbal and nonverbal components of the
speech.
Adequate preparation cannot be achieved the
day before you're scheduled to speak.
Speaking from a
Manuscript
Manuscript speaking is the word-for-word iteration of a written
message. In a manuscript speech, the speaker maintains his or her
attention on the printed page except when using visual aids.

Exact repetition of original words is the advantageous of reading a


manuscript.
C o s t i n v o l v e d i n
man u s c r i p t s p e a k i n g

It's typically an uninteresting way to present.

Unless the speaker has rehearsed the reading as


a complete performance animated with vocal
expression and gestures, the presentation tends
to be dull.

keeping one's eyes glued to the script precludes


eye contact with the audience.
For this kind of "straight" manuscript speech to hold
audience attention, the audience must be already
interested in the message before the delivery begins
It is worth nothing that professional
speakers, actors, news reporters, and
politicians often read from an autocue
device, such as a teleprompter, especially
when appearing on television, where eye
contact with the camera is crucial.
With practice, a speaker can achieve a
conversational tone and give the
impression of speaking extemporaneously
while using an autocue device. However,
success in this medium depends on two
factors:
Factors:
1. The speaker is already an accomplished public
speaker who has learned to use a conversational
tone while delivering a prepared script and;
2. The speech is written in a style that sounds
conversational.
SPEAKING FROM MEMORY

Memorized speaking

Is the rote recitation of a written


that the speaker has committed to
memory. Actors, of course, recite from
memory whenever they perform from a
script in a stage play, television
program, or movie scene. When it comes
to speeches, memorization can be
useful when the message needs to be
exact and the speaker doesn't want to
be confined by notes.

Advantage to
It enables the speaker to maintain eye
contact with the audience through the
memorization
speech. Being free of notes means that
you can move freely around the stage
and use your hands to make gestures. If
your speech uses visual aids, this freedom
is even more of an advantage. However,
there are some real and potential costs.
Potential costs: 15

1. Unless you plan and memorize every vocal cue (the subtle but
meaningful variations in speech delivery, which can include
the use of pitch, tone, volume, and pace), gestures and facial
expression, your presentation will be flat and uninteresting, and
even the most fascinating topic will suffer. You might end up
speaking in a monotone or a sing-song that fails to emphasize
the most important points.
2. If you lose your place and start to ad lib, the contrast in your
style of delivery will alert your audience that something is wrong.
More frightening, if you go completely blank during the
presentation, it will be extremely difficult to find your place and
keep going.
