DELIVERY FOR

DIFFERENT
SITUATIONS
Different Situations
 3

Bear in mind that not all speaking situations happen in the classroom. Some
may happen in unfamiliar environments. To illustrate, you may run or be
nominated for a school or local government office, so a room-to-room and
public campaign speech is required; or you may be invited to welcome a
visitor in your school or community, so an opening or welcoming remark is
necessary; or you may be asked to represent your school or community in a
literary contest. These are a few situations where your delivery skill will be
simultaneously challenged and honed.
 4

As a public speaker you need to be ready to deal with the most

common challenges in different speaking environments.
Below are some of them.
1. Speaking to a specific audience size
Description
Audience size depends on the venue size.

Advantages
You can determine your approach with your audience: more intimate and personal for a smaller size;
more formal for a larger size.

Disadvantages
This can be challenging and intimidating.

Tips
Ask the organizers about the estimated number of the audience so you can adjust your delivery.
Practice, practice, practice.

Specific Venue Size

 2. Speaking in an open-air venue or outside a building
Description
Examples are open courts or grounds, football fields, farms, etc.
Advantages
You will feel more relaxed due to the atmosphere of the venue.
Disadvantages
You will encounter a lot of communication barriers such as noise, inattentive audiences,
discomfort, challenging weather, possible absence of technology such as audio-visual
equipment, etc.
You might be forced to make adjustments, especially in voice projection.
Tips
Check the venue prior to your speaking engagement.
Ask the organizers about the availability of equipment.
Challenge yourself on how you can get and maintain the attention of your audience.
Use the outdoor setting or venue to your advantage as a way of jumpstarting your speech or
as an example to support your main point.
Practice, practice, practice.

3. Speaking in different venues
Description
Speaking venues that vary according to size: classroom, meeting or conference room, ball room, social
hall, auditorium, covered court, open court, etc.
Advantages
You will be exposed to different venues, which will add to your public speaking experience.
Disadvantages
You will have to make big adjustments in terms of your nonverbal cues: volume of voice, body
language, facial expression, etc.
 9

Tips “
Check the venue days before your scheduled speech and arrive hours earlier in the venue, so
you can determine the adjustments to make.
For a large venue, speak more slowly, use pauses frequently to highlight the most important
ideas of your speech, and make use of facial expressions and gestures. When you use visual
aids, make them more visible.
In a small venue, your audience will see you up close. Therefore, manage your notes well
when you use them and adjust your nonverbal cues as necessary.
Practice, practice, practice.

4. Speaking with a microphone

Description
Its main function is to increase the volume of your voice, not to clarify the pronunciation and
enunciation of words.
Advantages
With a microphone, you can easily get the attention of your audience because of the loudness
of your voice.
Disadvantages
Using a microphone can be challenging because there is a tendency to underuse or overuse it.

Tips
Check the microphone if it functions well.
Check your voice in the microphone to see whether you are audible enough.
In a small venue, you may not use a microphone, but you need to manage your voice’s
volume well.
Practice, practice, practice..

5. Speaking with a podium or lectern

Description
A podium or lectern is a reading desk with a stand and a slanted top.
Advantages
Notes can be placed on the slanted top, and will work best for extemporaneous and
manuscript speeches.
The lectern can be used as a means to hide or cover nervousness or stage fright.
Disadvantages
Some may have the tendency to hide their hands behind the podium, which will not
help them enhance their message.
 14

Tips
Stand straight, as good posture exudes confidence.
Avoid gripping the edges of the podium with both hands. Aside from this, also avoid
hiding them behind the podium.
For extemporaneous and impromptu speakers, step to the side occasionally once you
have composed yourself, so you can effectively use your gestures, make eye contact,
and connect more with your audience.
Practice, practice, practice.
