work of the previous, to transmit knowledge from
person to person, across cultures and time.“

PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH DELIVERY
OBJECTIVES
In your journey through the discussions and different tasks, you are expected to:

1. identify the characteristics of good delivery;

2. evaluate a speech; and

3. use principles of effective speech delivery.

You should know that there are speakers who are naturally born, but most
of the best speakers are those who were trained, honed, and got involved in
numerous public speaking situations. They were not made overnight but honed
and made overtime. (Sipacio, 2016)
ELEMENTS
According to Gabinete (2017)

1.Articulation, according to the Oxford Dictionary is the formation of

clear and distinct sounds in speech:
the articulation of vowels and consonants.

It has to do with speaking or reading a written speech with correct and

distinct utterance for each word, avoiding any slur or slip in sounds
produced.

For example:
dinnt instead of didn’t, gonna instead of going to, wanna instead of want
to, or hunnerd instead of hundred.
ELEMENTS
According to Gabinete (2017)

2. Modulation refers to the variation in the strength, tone, or pitch of

one’s voice.

Like in the phrase excellent voice modulation. This has to do with

voice control to make your speech delivery good sounding and to
avoid monotony at any point.

Example: like an actor adjusting his pitch or volume depending on the

role he's playing or the mood of the scene.

Facial Expressions include eye movement, eye contact
and control of your face muscles.

Appropriateness of facial expressions can lead to effective

communication. By making eye contact to your audience
and keeping a sincere and honest look in your eyes, you
are allowing your audience get the meaning of your words
and letting them relate to what you are saying. Remember
that even if, to a large extent, you are reading from a script,
you are speaking to real people.
Stage Presence has to do with self-projection and the
image one manages to create with his or her efforts to
make a good impression.

How to project yourself depends on your carriage of

yourself onstage, your posture and the air of
confidence you exude.

With proper voice projection, a positive stage presence

is established.
Gestures and Movements
refer to bodily movement. While delivering a speech,
controlling gestures is necessary since too much or too
little does not look good. Make sure to practice ahead of
time in front of people you can trust or before a mirror so
that you can identify mannerisms and gestures that are
not necessary while you speak like swaying and
nodding.
 Rapport with the Audience refers to the connection you build
with your audience. The more connected you are to them, the
more that they will remember your message and they will be
hooked to your speech. Bear in mind that failure to establish
rapport can result to failure of your speech. Keeping them
hooked by providing visual images, powerful lines, figures of
speech and intriguing questions are some ways to catch their
attention

Pilapil (2017) explained that a good written speech should

be delivered well in order to captivate the mind and heart of
the listener
