27
ELEMENTS OF GOOD SPEECH ATTITUDE REHEARSAL VERBAL EXPRESSION NONVERBAL EXPRESSION
28
ATTITUDE Attitude matters a great deal with delivery. A confident presence is an aspect of your ethos. Fear can become a self-fulfilling prophecy: We can make ourselves fail... or succeed.
29
DON ’ T * Comment on your own performance. * Apologize for your speaking, especially not before you speak. * Don ’ t hide behind the lectern, wear hats, or chew gum. * Don ’ t look over the audience heads or envision them naked (silly myths). * Don ’ t “ watch your own feet when you dance. ”
30
DO * Be conversational. A public speaking situation is still personal, if you speak naturally and make eye contact. Look at people. They ’ ll relate to you. * Move like you do in normal life, but much less. * Stay focused on your material. You’re just the messenger, not the point of the message. If you’ve chosen topics well, it ’ s vital that you get this information to your fellow citizens.
31
ELEMENTS OF GOOD SPEAKING VOCAL EXPRESSION: * You must speak loudly enough to be heard, clearly enough to be understood, and slowly enough for your audience to keep up. NONVERBAL EXPRESSION – Half of the equation! * Body language matters because it influences your credibility and helps the audience focus on your speech. Nonverbal “ frames ” the verbal.
32
Vocal Expression There are five dimensions of voice that can be manipulated for greater effect. Volume - Speak louder or softer for emphasis. Pitch - Stay at an appropriate mid-range level. Rate - Accelerate for a few sentences to excite, Slow down and pause to emphasize some words. Articulation - Speak clearly with full voice. Quality - The personality of your voice, resonant, throaty, nasal, etc.
33
Nonverbal Expression Stand still for a moment and make eye contact with your audience. Then start. Speak only once you ’ ve made contact.--SLATE Stay in one place for awhile. Don ’ t pace around through the speech. Choose 2 or 3 places where you ’ ll take a step or two. Literally, “ move into ” your next argument.
