It’s not always what you say but…HOW YOU SAY IT Delivery Styles
Styles of Delivery • Four major styles: • Extemporaneous • Impromptu • Manuscript • Memorized
Extemporaneous • Generally the BEST DELIVERY STYLE • planned in advanced • presented in a direct, spontaneous manner • conversational • Relies on brief keyword notecards • more difficult to • be exact on time or • be exact in wording or grammar
Impromptu • Best for emergency situations
Suggestions for making an effective impromptu speech • Scribble a few notes • Don’t be afraid to be original – use personal experiences • Observe what is going on around you – use what you have • Be positive • Keep comments brief!
Manuscript • needed when wording must be precise but lacks spontaneity
Suggestions for making an effective manuscript presentation. • Write like you talk, not like a term paper • Print out the manuscript triple spaced, capital letters • Underline words to emphasize • Use stiff paper • Number all pages/by hand and circle • Rehearse until you can read whole lines without looking • Take your time, vary speed, concentrate on ideas rather than words
Memorized – • seems formal; • Only one piece of advice – practice
Visual Guidelines: • Appearance – • Movement – try to move out of “action zone” • Posture • Facial expression • Eye Contact
Auditory Guidelines: • Volume • Rate – between 120-150 words per minute • Pitch – highness or lowness of voice • Vary volume, rate, and pitch to add emphasis • Articulation -
Criticism • Be positive • Be constructive • Be careful of wording • Not just what you say but how you say it!! • Be specific on why you liked or disliked something = behavioral explanations
