1. To inform

Formulating a General Purpose

• Informative Speeches
An informative speech involves a knowledgeable speaker transferring some of their
knowledge to their audience.
The speaker’s main concern is having the audience learn and remember the

Choosing the method of speaking

4 fundamental ways of presenting speech:


• Reading it from manuscript
• Delivering it from memory
• Delivering it in an impromptu manner
• Delivering it extemporaneously
Speaking from a manuscript

• Example : on radio and television many speakers have to be accountable


and accurate but the mess-media speaker has to be able to make instant
referrals to sources and materials.
Speaking from memory
• Every single word is committed to memory and this frees you from the
manuscript.
Impromptu delivery
• In facing an impromptu situation you must quickly tie together all of
your thought in a few second or minutes.
Extemporaneous delivery
(speak in manner that is characterized by spontaneous
word choice as well as careful preparation ideas)
Extemporaneous speaking calls for the speech to be:
• Researched
• Outlined
• Practiced
• Delivery in a conversational manner
Using note cards

• Your notes should be small stiff cards rather than on long sheets of
paper
• You shouldn’t write the entire speech on your note cards.
• You might want to write long quotations and statistics on your note
cards.
• Your handwriting on the notes should be clear and easy to read.
ANALYZING THE AUDIENCE
• Audience analysis means, in a very practical sense, finding out all you can
about the people you are talking to or will be talking to.
• Audience analysis is at the core of all human communication. Since
communication involves a type of reciprocal relationship wherein each
party needs and depends on the other, you must understand the other
person or person so that you can make the necessary adjustments to your
language, arguments, appeals, and evidence.
• Understanding the listener will better enable you to adapt your message to
them. As Oliver, Zelko, and Holtzman noted in their book Communicative
Speaking and Listening, “the most significant characteristic of
communication is tat it must be adaptive.
THE LISTENER WHAT DO THEY BRING TO
COMMUNICATION
• Placed in this context, your question regarding the posibility of audience analysis
is Indeed a valid one.

• To predict audience responses to your message demands that you ask the crucial
question: to what extent are the members of the audience similar? It is in this area
of similarities that you must focus your energy and attention.

• This stage is to make sure the similarities from the message that you already
analyze from the previous stage.
GENERAL COMMUNICATION
• The usefulness of this information is based on the assumption that as
members of a culture or a group we share a set of norms, perceptions,
attitudes, and interest with the other members of that culture or group.

CULTURAL DETERMINANTS
• The succesful communicator must have some idea how culture will
manifest itself during a communication situation. Most researcher in the
area of interculture communication believe that cultures and subcultures
influence values and attitudes., pattern of thought, perception, language
and noverbal behavior.
INDIVIDUAL DETERMINANTS

• Discover the sex of listener.
• The occupation (Job) of listener.

information that will aid in understanding potential listener. Once that
information is collected and analyzed. You are in a position to determine
how the audience will percive yu and your topic.

• your relationship with audience is highly personal matter. There will be
instanes when every member of audience knows you and preceives you as a
friend.
THE AUDIENCE AND THE SUBJECT

It is crucial that you use the information you have gathered from
your analysis of your audience’s cultural and personal
background. The conclusions you reach will help answer
questions regarding your listener’s values, desires, beliefs and
knowledge level.
AUDIENCE ANALYSIS AND “Me-ism”
• in analyzing the type of audience you will be confronting, you should also
ask yourself, “how interested is this audience in me and my subject?”
you must always remember that as a speaker you are “invading” the life of
another person. You are asking them to stop whatever they were doing or
thinking and make you their most immediate concern. In this day of “me-
ism”.
YOUR SPEAKING OCCASION
The speaking occasion also demands a careful analysis. Where dou you
deliver your speech plays a prominent role in the entire communication
process.
A speaker’s analysis of the occasion should imvolve the following
considerations.
• What kind of occasion it will be?
• What will the physical surroundings be?
• What will precede and follow your speech?
