Title : Delivering Effective Speeches

Lecturer : Miss Thilaga a/p Ravinthar

Methods of Delivery

Methods of delivery• Speeches can be delivered in one of

different delivery methods.• Vary amount of content preparation

& practice.• These delivery methods are

impromptu, scripted & extemporaneous.

1. Impromptu Speech• When you are asked to speak with little advance

warning.• Usually presented without referring to notes of any

kind.• Difficult to organize their ideas & develop what they

are saying.• Delivery can suffer as speakers use “ahs,” “ums,”

“like,” and “you know” to buy time.• Improve impromptu speech; practice “mock”

impromptu speeches alone.

2. Scripted Speeches• Prepared by creating a complete written manuscript;

delivered by reading it.• This takes a lot of time to be prepared and practiced.• Memorize the script by rehearsing orally or rehearsing

with the written manuscript.• When you memorized it, we tend to be afraid that you

would forget.• Hence, adapt yourself to look at the script with your

peripheral vision (to maintain eye contact).• This type of speeches takes a long time to prepare and to

rehearse if to be done well.

3. Extemporaneous Speeches

• It is a speech which is researched, planned ahead of time, but exact wording is not scripted & vary.

• You may refer to notes to remind you what to speak.

• Easiest to give. You have notes to prompt you.

Characteristic of Effective Delivery

Conversational style

Speaker’s ability to sound expressive

Speaker’s should do their best to appear

natural

Two most important elements are the message and the

audience

Eye Contact • Make eye contact • Maintain control of the pace and the audience’s attention• The most effective speakers are the ones who always leave an audience wanting more

Effective use of vocalics• Volume • Pitch• Rate• Pauses• Vocal variety• Dialect

Be prepared

• Read the speech when rehearsing from the exact copy

• Evaluate the audience• Decide on message and objective• Craft a great speech and rehearse

it out loud

Know your stuff

• Deliver information in a clear and logical expression

• Give your audience plenty of opportunities to absorb your message

Effective physical manipulation• The use of body to emphasize meanings

or convey meanings during speech• Don’t keep the same dull monotone• Avoid no facial expression and

overanimated facial expressions.

Rehearsing the

Speech

Rehearsing Practicing the presentation of your

speech aloud.

Scheduling And Conducting Rehearsal

SessionsA speech that is not practiced is likely to be far less effective then it

would have been had you given yourself sufficient practice time.

Preparing speaking notes Speaking notes:

A word or phase outline of your speech, plus hard-to-remember information such as

quotations and statistics, as well as delivery cues designed to trigger memory

Rehearsing the speech

Practice wording ideas so they are

vivid

Practice ‘doing’ your speech-

working with your voice and body

Practice using presentational aids

Audiotape your practice session

Read sentence outline once or twice

Practice as similar to the speech situation

Write down the time you begin

Begin speaking Write down the time you finish

Analysis • Listen to the tape and look at your complete line

• Make any necessary changes before second rehearsal

Second rehearsal•Repeat the 6 steps.

By practicing a second time right after your analysis,you are more likely to make the kind of adjustment

that begin to improve the speech

Additional rehearsal• Final practice right before you go to bed will be very helpful;• While you are speaking, your subconscious will continue to work on

speech.

Speaking extemporaneously•When practicing, try to learn the speech ideasbut do not memorize specific phrasing.

• Learning the speech involves understanding the ideasof the speech but having the freedom to present

the ideas differently during the speech

RESPONDING TO YOUR AUDIENCE

Audience Adaptation During The Speech

Lack of eye contact

Confused/sour facial expression

No response to question/statement

Absence of physical agreement

Fidgety actions

How To

Tell a storyRetell the important

purpose of the speech

Rethink the details of the

speech

Show a short videos/demonstrate something on stage

Audience Adaptation After The Speech

• Predicting Audience QuestionoMake reasonable guesses of

the question

•Reasons they will ask questions

oMore information is neededoThey need clarificationoSomething was difficult to understandoSomeone disagrees with you

• Formulating Possible Answers

oDevelop a set of answers to possible questionsoPractice your speech in front of a mock audienceoAsk your mock audience to draft question that would most likely be asked

When You Cannot Answer the Questions

•Be honest - Find ways to respond

•Never tell the wrong answer

•Do not distort the facts to suit your aim
