    MANUSCRIPT

    Oral Communication
    MANUSCRIPT DELIVERY
    - The speaker brings with him/her the script of the

    speech that is to be delivered.


    POTENTIAL PROBLEMS WITH
    MANUSCRIPT METHOD
    1. Since this type of speech follows a word-for-word method, you might be tempered t
    skip practicing the speech
    2. In relation on the previous point, if you fail to practice your speech and decide to rea
    it during the time delivery itself, you might be glued to the speech all throughout.
    3. Lastly, because everything is planned based on the time allotted, you will surely wan
    to come everything in your speech before you run out of time. Pay attention and mak
    sure to check and adjust if the audience displays anxiety, impatience, or boredom.
    STRATEGIES IN ORGANIZING AND
    DELIVERING THE MANUSCRIPT SPEECH
    . Practice! Practice delivering the speech several times. Mark the text. Even if it’s
    manuscript, know the speech by heart. Only if you do these can you keep frequent ey
    contact with audience.
    . Adapt! Even if you have a manuscript, feel free to modify the test when the situatio
    demands it. If you observe that your audience is bored, you may use shorter yet mor
    vigorous words.
    Tips in Using the Manuscript Method
    1. Prepare! Keep your text easy to use by neatly composing it in triple space.
    2. Mark! Own your manuscript by highlighting key word and phrases. This way you will
    be guided during speech delivery.
    3. Practice! You can make a lot of notes on the draft of your manuscript during the first
    few rehearsals, but make sure to reprint your script, especially if you make too many
    changes.
    Tips in Using the Manuscript Method
    4. Practice some more! Read the test over and over orally, this will help you avoid
    mispronounced words, faulty starts, and wrong pauses.
    5. Concentrate! Concentrate on keeping an eye contact, but do not stare at only one sectio
    of the audience
    6. Act it out! Use a lectern or a podium when practicing the speech. If you can find one
    before the actual speech delivery, practice using it so that you will be used to laying your
    notes flat on the podium and looking at them once in a while.
