 DELIVERING YOUR SPEECH

A. Definition

In the context of public speaking, delivery refers to the presentation of the

speech you have researched, organized, outlined, and practiced. Delivery
is important, of course, because it is what is most immediate to the
audience. How we deliver a speech is just as important, if not more so,
than the basic message we are trying to convey to an audience. But if you
have worked hard on preparing the verbal part of your speech, you may
feel that delivery is just an “extra” that should not require much time or
effort. After all, your speech is carefully planned, researched, and
polished. It is committed safely to paper and hard drive. It’s a carefully
constructed, logically crafted, ethical message. The words alone should
engage your audience’s attention and interest.

After all the work of building such a message, you might wish that you
could simply read it to the audience. However, this is the case in only a
few kinds of circumstances: when the message is highly technical,
complex, and extremely important (as in a new medical discovery); when
international protocols and etiquette are crucially important and the world
is listening; or when the speaker is representing a high-ranking person,
such as a president or a king, who is unable to be present. For the purposes
of your public speaking class, you will not be encouraged to read your
speech. Instead, you will be asked to give an extemporaneous presentation.
We will examine what that means.

The nonverbal part of your speech is a presentation of yourself as well as

your message. Through the use of eye contact, vocal expression, body
posture, gestures, and facial display, you enhance your message and invite
your audience to give their serious attention to it, and to you. Your

1
 credibility, your sincerity, and your knowledge of your speech become
apparent through your nonverbal behaviors.

The interplay between the verbal and nonverbal components of your

speech can either bring the message vividly to life or confuse or bore the
audience. Therefore, it is best that you neither overdramatize your speech
delivery behaviors nor downplay them. This is a balance achieved through
rehearsal, trial and error, and experience.

B. The Method Of Delivering The Speech

1. Manuscript Delivery
This is the type of delivery used primarily by formal speakers,
politicians, business executives, etc. when they prepare their
speeches well in advance. Manuscript delivery takes all of that
research, organization, and outlining work and then uses it to
WRITE OUT THE SPEECH so it looks just like paper. Then, the
speaker reads the speech off of the paper. This type of delivery is
problematic for several reasons. First, it takes forever!! Each word
on the manuscript needs to be carefully crafted for effect, and that
takes quite some time. Next, it is really difficult to read to an
audience and keep them interested. Think about the last time
someone read to you: it was probably someone trying to get you to
go to sleep…..not something you want to strive for in public
speaking!! This type of delivery really needs to be reserved for the
professionals who can make the most of it. Truly, the WORST
THING you could possibly do for this speech is to write it out
word for word.

2. Memorized Delivery

2
 As the name implies, memorized delivery is the step beyond
manuscript delivery. The speaker writes the speech out…...and
then memorizes the manuscript so he/she has no notes, no
manuscript, no “help” up there in front of the audience. As you
might imagine, this also has a few drawbacks…...not the least of
which is forgetting the speech altogether. This, also, is a type of
delivery best left to professional and competitive public
speakers. is the rote recitation of a written message that the speaker
has committed to memory. Actors, of course, recite from memory
whenever they perform from a script in a stage play, television
program, or movie scene. When it comes to speeches,
memorization can be useful when the message needs to be exact
and the speaker doesn’t want to be confined by notes. The
advantage to memorization is that it enables the speaker to
maintain eye contact with the audience throughout the speech.

3. Impromptu Delivery
As the name implies, this is delivery with little or no preparation.
Impromptu delivery happens when you get called on to answer a
question in a class or a police officer pulls you over for
speeding…...you have to give answers fast, without the benefit of a
lot of advanced planning. We all deliver a speech with impromptu
style from time-to-time, but some speakers do this better than
others. Impromptu speaking SHOULD NOT be confused with
impromptu rambling. Everyone can ramble, but good impromptu
delivery is still a well-crafted speech (intro, body, conclusion, etc.)
but the speaker can accomplish this monumental task on the spur
of the moment.

4. Extemporaneous Delivery

3
 Extemporaneous Delivey is the presentation of a carefully planned
and rehearsed speech, spoken in a conversational manner using
brief notes. By using notes rather than a full manuscript, the
extemporaneous speaker can establish and maintain eye contact
with the audience and assess how well they are understanding the
speech as it progresses. The opportunity to assess is also an
opportunity to restate more clearly any idea or concept that the
audience seems to have trouble grasping

C. The Importance Of Speech Delivery

Once you have selected and researched your topic, and prepared and
organized your presentation, you will need to work on your delivery.
Without diligent work on the initial parts of the speech process, however,
even the most impressive delivery has little meaning. On the other hand,
combined with a well-prepared and practiced presentation, delivery can be
a key to your success as a speaker. Delivery can communicate your
confidence and preparedness to your audience. Effective delivery shows
your audience that you have researched your topic and understand what
you are speaking about. An effective delivery allows you to pull it all
together toshowcase your work and to speak with confidence during your
delivery.

D. Overcoming Anxiety Speech Delivery

If you feel nervous about speaking in public, you should know that it is
normal to experience some communication apprehension, or “stage
fright,” when you deliver a speech.

Preparing Carefully

4
Experts have discovered that it is not the amount of time you spend
preparing, but how you prepare.

1. Practice Your Speech Before You Give It

2. Focus on a Friendly Face

3. Try Relaxation Technique.

4. Talk Yourself into a Strong Performance

5. Consider the Importance of Your Topic to Others

6. Give Speeches

5
 CONCLUSION

Delivering your speech is the presentation of the speech you have researched,
organized, outlined, and practiced. Delivery is important, of course, because it is
what is most immediate to the audience
