c. Extemporaneous speech
d.Impromptu speech
 Manuscript speech
is the word-for-word iteration of a written
message using visual aids.
The advantage to reading from a manuscript
is the exact repetition of original words.
 example:
 news anchor with a teleprompter
Memorized speech
 isthe rote recitation of a written message that the
speaker has committed to memory.
 The advantage to memorization is that it enables
the speaker to maintain eye contact with the
audience throughout the speech.
example:
 actor’s dialogue
 Extemporaneous speech
 is the presentation of a carefully planned and
rehearsed speech, spoken in a conversational
manner using brief notes.
 Speaking extemporaneously has some
advantages.
 Your audience is likely to pay better attention to
the message because it is engaging both verbally
and nonverbally.
 example:

a campaign speech before a voting public

 Impromptu speech

 is the presentation of a short message without advance

preparation and is for people knowledgeable about the
subject.
 The advantage of this kind of speaking is that it’s
spontaneous and responsive in an animated group context.
 Impromptu speeches are generally most successful when
they are brief and focus on a single point.
 example:
a doctor’s response to the question of a patient
Five speech styles

 The context dictates and affects the way

people communicate, which results in various
speech styles. According to Joos (1968), there
are five speech styles. These are (1) intimate,
(2) casual, (3) consultative, (4) formal, and (5)
frozen. Each style dictates what appropriate
language or vocabulary should be used or
observed.
 1.Intimate – This style is private, which occurs
between or among close family members or
individuals.
 2.Casual – This style is common among peers
and friends. Jargon, slang, or the vernacular
language are used.
 3.Consultative – This style is the standard
one. Professional or mutually acceptable
language is a must in this style. Examples of
situations are communication between
teachers and students, employers and
employees, doctor and patient, judge and
lawyer, or President and his/her constituents.
 4.
Formal – This style is used in formal settings.
Unlike the consultative style, this is one-way.
Examples are sermons by priests and
ministers, State of the Nation Address of the
President, formal speeches, or
pronouncements by judges.
 5.Frozen – This style is “frozen” in time and
remains unchanged. It mostly occurs in
ceremonies. Common examples are the
Preamble to the Constitution, Lord’s
Prayer, and Allegiance to country or flag.
