Focus on:
Speaking clearly
Avoiding distracting mannerisms
Establishing eye contact with your listeners

13. Methods of Delivery Reading from a manuscript Reciting from memory
Speaking Impromptu (see 11.1)
Speaking Extemporaneously

14. Extemporaneous Method
A method of delivery in which the speech is carefully prepared and rehearsed but is presented from a brief set of notes.
It has a conversational tone while maintaining spontaneity and directness.
Options:
Write out your speech and read it word for word – BAD: lose eye contact
Prepare very few notes and trust you can speak without them – BAD: outcome will be rambling or embarrassingly short
Extemporaneous: notes should be key phrases or words, not complete sentences or paragraphs. 14 14

15. Delivering Your Speech
The extemporaneous method requires you to know the content of your speech very well.
You should only need a few brief notes to remind you of the points you want to cover (speaking outline).
The notes should only be key words or phrases, rather then complete sentences and paragraphs (use your speaking outline).

16. The Speaker’s Voice Volume: Loudness or softness of a voice
Pitch: Highness or lowness of a voice
Rate: The speed at which a person speaks
Vocal variety: changes in the volume, pitch and rate

19. Delivery: Body Language
William Shakespeare wrote that all speakers give two speeches at the same time: the one that is heard and the one that is seen.
Believe it or not, most people are frequently more influenced by what they see than by what they hear! 19

20. Body Language
A professor at UCLA found that only 7% of our credibility with listeners comes from the actual words we speak, while 93% of it comes from our vocal qualities and visual characteristics.
Presidential debate between John F Kennedy and Richard Nixon in was first ever to be televised. 20

21. Body Language
Body language means posture, eye contact, facial expressions, and gestures.
Your body language as well as your speech patterns reflects how you feel about yourself.
It also affects how others react to you.
It can help you convey an aura of confidence, or make you appear uncertain before you even open your mouth. (11.5) 21

22. Delivery Body Language Facial Expressions Tone of Voice
Face the audience
Stand up straight
do not sway back and forth
do not look down or only look at your outline the whole time
Make eye contact with the audience
Use gestures to appropriately emphasize your words
Facial Expressions
Make sure that your face matches your words
Smile if you are sharing something happy or exciting
do not laugh if you are talking about something sad etc…
Tone of Voice

You will only have 1 chance, you may NOT start over. If you forget what you had planed to say do not stop. Just keep talking and do the best you can. Practice, Practice, Practice! 23

24. Practicing Delivery
Practice aloud! Are your main points clear? How does your introduction and conclusion come across?
Prepare your speaking outline with cues.
Practice several times aloud. Concentrate on the IDEAS versus the exact wording.
Polish and refine your delivery in front of a mirror. Check for good eye contact and avoid distracting mannerisms. Adjust your vocal variety.
Have a “dress rehearsal.”
