  4. 3. Be Appropriate • Relates to S.P.A.M.: mostly situation, purpose, and audience • Match verbal/nonverbal techniques to your delivery type • Giving a Eulogy – solemn, respectful mood through vocal techniques, posture, and facial expressions

  5. 4. Pair Delivery and Message: • Gives meaning to speaker’s message • Using verbal/nonverbal techniques can emphasize ideas or provide pauses that allow audience to reflect • Speeches are more effective than written messages – they include human elements

  6. Impromptu • Extemporaneous • Manuscript • Memorized Formats of Delivery

  7. Delivery with little preparation • Not rehearsed; No notes/planning • Where else might we use impromptu delivery? • Answering a question in class • Job interview • ADVANTAGES: • No prior work involved • Speakers sound natural and sincere • Speeches are usually brief • DISADVANTAGES: • Requires speaking experience • Must have a purpose and be organized Impromptu Delivery

  8. Delivery using notes or outline • Key to effective delivery is practice; become familiar with your notes • Where have we used this type of delivery? • All speeches • Graduation speech ADVANTAGES: • Allows speaker to adapt to different audiences and situations • Changes can be made up to and during the speech • Delivery sounds natural • Takes less time than manuscript • Enables a speaker to organize key words and phrases DISADVANTAGES: • Eye contact may suffer • May interfere with gestures and movement Extemporaneous Delivery

  9. Requires a speaker to write out every word • ADVANTAGES: • Assures exact wording • Holds to specific time • Allows for careful language with preparation time • DISADVANTAGES: • Speech may sound awkward • Affected/stilted delivery • Requires a great deal of experience • Cannot be adapted to the situation and the audience during the delivery • Requires a great deal of time to prepare Manuscript Delivery

  10. Preparing a manuscript and commited to memory • Purpose is to entertain: perfect comedic timing • Biggest disadvantage is that it’s inflexible – may find it difficult to return smoothly to the prepared material • ADVANTAGES: • Allows for a very polished delivery • allows for effective gestures and eye contact • DISADVANTAGES: • Can be over rehearsed • Sound unnatural • Can forget portions of the speech • Suffers from all the disadvantages of manuscript delivery Memorized Delivery

  11. Good public speakers are made, not born • First step in becoming a fluent speaker is to know your material • Research, planning, and practice will help you master your subject • Second step is having notes or manuscript that is easy to use • Try to develop a system that works best for you Preparing Notes for Speech Delivery

  12. Can write on note cards or paper • Note cards: 4x6 or 5x8 – you can write more • Plan for blank spaces so you can see key words and add notes • Skip 3-4 lines and have wide margins along the top and bottom • Write out everything large enough so it’s easy to see when you put the cards on the stand Preparing an Outline

  13. Can write in words, phrases, or complete sentences • Only write out the introduction and conclusion • Add transitions – words or phrases that connect ideas • Emphasize with a colored highlighter, bold font, or another system Preparing an Outline

  14. Once finished, create a clean copy that is easy to read • Type it out – easier to read • Mark your manuscript using vocal variety symbols: • Pause - / • Framing - // • Pitch – (circle words) H/L • Emphasis – Underline words • Rate of Speech – [Bracket words & add ] F/S Manuscript Preparation Cont’d

  15. Will deal with two major problems: • Reduced eye contact • Unnecessary pauses to turn pages • To avoid pauses – have two pages side by side • Begin with one page on the left and all others on the right; when finished all pages will be in reverse on the left • Another way – end each page with a complete sentence

  16. Prepare a manuscript • Practice several times (even with someone else) • Before you go to bed, when you wake up • On the way to school • Whenever you have down time • Work on one paragraph at a time • As you recite a paragraph, go back and practice with the previous paragraph • As you memorize, see the words on the page Memorizing a Speech

  17. Speeches are often followed by a question-and-answer period • Five guidelines to assist you in answering questions: • Anticipate Questions • Restate the Question • Be Polite • Relate to the Audience • Admit What You Don’t Know Answering Questions

  18. Try to determine what questions the audience might have • Which parts of your speech are likely to cause controversy? • What parts might need more explanation? • What other topics might the speech raise in the listener’s mind? • By asking yourself these questions, you will feel more prepared to answer • Follows the Feedback loop: • Pre-speech (questions you ask yourself) • Presentation (your delivery) • Post-speech (questions from audience) Anticipate Questions

  19. Always restate the question for the following reasons: • 1. Everyone in the audience needs to hear it • 2. Ensuring that you heard the question correctly • 3. Gives you time to phrase a response Restate the Question

  20. Questions may arise when people don’t agree with what is being said • Don’t argue or debate • Thank the questioner, use the opportunity to compare your position with other points of view Be Polite

  21. May seem important only to the questioner • Find a way to relate your answer to your original comments • Don’t make answers a dialogue with only the questioner • Can lose the rest of the audience Relate to the Audience

  22. Occasionally stumped by a question • If you can not answer the question, admit it • You can look into it if it seems that important or meet with the questioner after your speech • You can arrange to research and get back to the questioner Admit What You Don’t Know
