Public Speaking
As the name implies, public speaking is speaking in public. Your early
exposures to it can either be in school through hosting a program, campaigning
during a campus election, or joining in declamation, oratorical, impromptu,
storytelling contests or even outside the school such as giving a wish to a
celebrator, reading verses in public during religious activities, or making public
announcements.
Once you have connected with your audience, it will be easy for you to convey
your message according to your goal or purpose: to inform, to entertain, or
to persuade.

Methods of Delivery
1) Memorized speech- delivered by speakers who intend to memorize their
speech word for word to their audience.
2) Impromptu speech- delivered by speakers who are suddenly asked or
requested by someone or group of people to say few words about
something. In short, there is no time for preparation.
3) Extemporaneous speech- delivered by speakers with the help of short
notes and clear outline. In this method, speakers are given time to prepare
before the delivery of the speech hence, speech is planned and rehearsed
ahead of time.
4) Manuscript- delivered by speakers who intend to read aloud their speech
word for word to their audience.
Manners in Speech
