  1. Speech 101 Method of Delivery

  2. Speaking from Manuscript • Speaking from Memory • Speaking Impromptu • Speaking Extemporaneously 4 Methods of Delivery

  3. Read speech verbatim • Restricts eye contact and body movement • May limit vocal variety or expressiveness • Can be boring to the audience • Very useful when you must speak with precision • When speaking from a manuscript • Practice enough that you can still make eye contact • Try using engaging props • Be mindful of your tone and rhythm Speaking from Manuscript

  4. Formally referred to as oratory • Put the entire speech down in writing then memorize it • This method is now quite uncommon in the U.S. • Often does not feel very natural • Difficult to make genuine eye contact • Danger! No safety net in place in case of memory lapse • Helpful for occasions such as toasts or using quotes • When Speaking from Memory • Practice A LOT • Practice conveying enthusiasm and making eye contact Speaking from Memory

  5. Speaking on short notice with little time to prepare • Try to anticipate such situations whenever possible • When you must give an impromptu speech • Find something to write with and jot down some quick notes • Take a moment to consider your audience • Take a deep breath and focus • Jot down keywords or phrases you want to touch on • Stay on topic • Acknowledge statements of earlier speaker if following another speech • Try to be organized – state your ideas then summarize Speaking Impromptu

  6. Somewhere between Impromptu and written/memorized • Most common delivery method • Most conducive to natural speaking delivery • Gives speaker a lot of flexibility • Better eye contact, body movement etc. • May become wordy or repeat yourself • May take longer than expected • When Speaking Extemporaneously • Prepare and practice in advance • Speak from an outline of keywords and phrases Speaking Extemporaneously

  7. Phrase Outline uses partial sentences for each point • Phrases help jog the speakers memory • The Keyword Outline uses only individual words to indicate each point • Keyword Outlines permit better eye contact and freedom of body movement • Include notes in parentheses (thing I don’t want to forget) • Use a highlighter to draw your eye to important parts of outline • Use notecards and large print for easy reading during speech • Write out anything which may be difficult to remember • Include prompts, e.g. (visual aid here) • Practice, practice, practice! Keyword/Phrase Outline

  8. Introduction • Greet Audience • Thesis: making butter is fun! • Body • Ingredients • Directions (jar visual aid) • Fun for kids • Conclusion • Summary • Thanks! (smile!)  Keyword/Phrase Outline Example
