B. Analysis

Manuscript Speech – one reads a pre-

written speech word by word.

Manuscript speaking – it is generally

employed during official meetings,
conferences, and in instances where the
subject matter of the speech needs to be
recorded. It is used especially when there is
time constraint, and the content of the talk
is of prime importance.

Example: Public officials speaking at

conferences, and their speech being telecast,
is a pertinent example.

Manuscript? YES or NO

A speech given by a Congressman on a YES

legislative bill under consideration.

TV DRAMA NO
Why do you think it is not an example of a Because in a TV Drama, the actors
manuscript speech? and actresses memorized the script.
A report read out by a Chief Engineer at an YES
Annual General Meeting.
YES
A televised news report (given using a
teleprompter) seen on television.

In your career you will probably deliver

fewer than 10% of your presentations using
a script. In these instances, you will write
and/or deliver a prepared speech. These
speeches will usually be presented to large
audiences in a meeting room or auditorium
type facility and will be delivered from a
lectern.

The following tips will aid in the

preparation and delivery of a manuscript
speech:

1. The manuscript is still a speech.

So as you have seen it says that it is still a Prepare for it.

speech, if you are going to do a speech what
should you do?

2. Maintain your energy.

Why do you think it is important to maintain Your passion for your presentation
your energy during your presentation? must come through by maintaining
your energy at a high level in order
for your speech not to be boring.

Try this: read an article from a newspaper

or magazine out loud into a tape recorder.
Then, put the article down and paraphrase in
your own words, with true feeling and
energy, that which you have just read.
Notice the difference. You can quickly see
the real challenges to maintaining your
energy level so that you are able to support,
and are not overpowered by, the multi-
media presentation.

3. Use your own wording if possible.

4. Use spoken rather than written
language.
Okay so what do you think is better? You
will type your speech in your computer? Or
you will record a speech and transcribe it to
text after? Why?
The transcribing of the recorded
speech is better because spoken
language is easier to remember and it
is very brief and exact unlike when
you typed your speech, there are
chances that you will make it very
complicated.

5. Use short, simple sentences.

7. "Score" the speech.

In scoring the speech you may wish to

underline certain key words and phrases so
that you will emphasize them during your
presentation. You also may draw arrows at
particular areas where you may wish to raise
or lower your voice.

The pauses, the tone, and more.
9. Pace yourself.

You may find your mind wandering during

this presentation, or you read it too quickly. It is important to pace yourself
Then why do you think it is important to because we should not only pay

our speed in speaking as well, if the
audience can cope up with us.

audience with eye contact and if you
 lack eye contact, there are chances
that your audience won’t be able to
feel your speech.
C. Abstraction

In order to be accepted on the job you have

to know the WHY’s or the IMPORTANCE
of your job, so the boss wants us to answer
some questions.

1. Why do you think it is essential to

consider the tips in preparing for a
manuscript speech? Student’s Answer May Vary
2. Would you mind to cite some
tips for yourself?
3.
D. Application

The teacher will give the students a speech

with the theme “My ambition”. The
students’ task is to fill in the blanks to finish
the speech. They will be given 10 minutes
to complete the speech and to rehearse it.
When the timer stops, the teacher will pick
students names from the speech box of each
group and the picked student will read his or
her speech in front.
