Principles of

Speech
Delivery
 The class will be divided into 6 groups with 5 members. In ten minutes
the students must prepare a speech based on the scenario below.

● You are the tourism ambassadors of the Philippines who are tasked to
promote the best features of the country and its overall positive image
to local and foreign visitors. Your task is to prepare and deliver a three-
minute

1. What do you like most about the presentation?

2. How do you think can the speech be improved?

Principles of Speech Delivery

1. Articulation
It is highly important to know the correct way of saying a
 

word, whether they are familiar or unfamiliar. Proper

breathing techniques together with the correct molding of
sounds that make up words contribute to efficient
articulation

6
modulation
There are pleasant-sounding voices, quite
soothing to the ears, just as there are
unpleasant voices that sound flat, are high
pitched, or screeching. People like to listen
to voices that are well-modulated,
meaning the capability to adjust or
manipulate the resonance and timbre of the
vocal tone. 

7
Stage Presence
The ability to “own” the stage, of the Speaker being able to fill
the space and project his/ her personality to the Audience—
that is stage presence. The opposite of stage presence is stage
fright, which is considered by many as the topmost fear in the
world of public speaking! But instead of trying to get rid of
stage fright (which cannot be done anyway), all that energy
that is making one feel shaky and nervous should be used to
make the Speaker become an interesting, enthusiastic speaker
capable of being heard and able to move about on stage.
 “
Facial Expressions, Gestures, and Movement
 The Message of any speech is reinforced, clarified, and
complemented by Nonverbal Communication such as facial
expressions, gestures, and movement. Without these nonverbal
elements, the Speaker may be judged as boring, with flat delivery
and an unemotional voice. Facial expressions should change with
the content of the Speech. Gestures should emphasize only certain
points. Movement should allow the Speaker to carry the Speech
around, forward, and to the Audience, metaphorically speaking.

This is a slide title
● Here you have a list of items
● And some text
● But remember not to overload your slides with content
Your audience will listen to you or read the content, but
won’t do both.

Audience Rapport
It was pointed out previously that the most
important aid in establishing a connection with
the Listeners is an Audience Analysis. Using
this data, one is able to write a Speech that
would appeal to the Audience. Also because of
the same data, one will know how to deliver
the Message to the Audience and connect with
them at a deeper level.
