ImpromptuMethod • ExtemporaneousMethod • ManuscriptMethod • MemorizedMethod 4 Methods of Delivery
A spur of the moment presentation • Speaker often speaks WITHOUT notes • Speaker is given a few seconds to one minute to prepare a short talk. • Take a minute to collect your thoughts (after given a topic or told to perform). • Think of 2-3 points before saying anything. Impromptu Method
The BEST way to organize an IMPROMPTUspeech is to look at the audience, introduce yourself, and… ___________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCEyourself and the topic that you will be speaking about. 2. SHAREthe information you want to 3. CONCLUDEby summarizing what you shared with them. Impromptu Method
An outlineis prepared BUTspeaker does not plan each word or sentence • Outlines are put on note cards or a single sheet of paperusing key words/phrases • Introduction andconclusion are carefully plannedand strong—introduction and conclusions are often memorized. • Extemporaneous method is most often used in public speaking! **It allows time to respond to audience questions/concerns ExtemporaneousMethod
ManuscriptMethod • Speaker writes out entire speech and delivers from typed or written paper. • Speaker knows content (ideas/information of speech) so well that they can look at the audience often enough to establish EFFECTIVE eye contact. • Manuscript method is important to use when you MUST …. • …be sure to say exactly what you mean • …have a very tight time limit • …have very detailed information to present.
Manuscript Method (cont.) • You, as the speaker, may go through 2-3 drafts as you write your ideas, read them out loud, and then revise. ________________________________________ DISADVANTAGES: • Speaker (may) never look at the audience because they are too busy trying to stay on point • Speaker (may) never move—can’t leave manuscript • Cannotadapt to audience feedback or maintain eye contact if you READto audience
Memorized Method • Speakers write out a manuscript (text, script, document, etc.)and MEMORIZEit verbatim (word for word). • Memorizedmethoddoes take a lot of work, BUTit leaves speaker free to move and look directly at audiencebecause there is no need for notes !
Memorized Method DISADVANTAGES: 1. The speaker ONLY remembers words and not particularly the ideas. 2. If words are not attached to main ideas, speaker will possibly have difficultythinking on their feet if they forget one word. In other words, the speaker may have a hard time improvising.

Respond to the following: Is there anything about the 4 Speech Delivery Methods that YOU do not understand? Journal # —4/15
PERSONAL DELIVERY Cross your “t’s” and dot your “i’s” as you present in the following nonverbal areas: • Appearance • Voice • Facial Expression • Eye Contact • Gestures • Movement
“I kept getting distracted by all her shiny, sparkling jewelry.” APPEARANCE
APPEARANCE • Appear confident! • Remember the audience looks at your clothes, hair, posture, movements, and mannerisms and creates an impression of you. • You MAY dress differently for a classroom speech presentation (with permission of the teacher/administration). • Your appearance needs to support your message, NOT distractthe listener.
VOICE “I can’t listen to him for more than two minutes before I fall asleep.”“She gets nervous and talks so fast I cannot understand what she is saying.”
—VOICE—4 Elements of YOUR voice: • Volume:loudness or softnessof one’s voice • Rate:speedat which you speak • No voiced pauses—”ah”, “um”, “you know”, “like” • Pitch:highness or lowness of one’s voice • High pitch—expresses excitement or pleasure • Low pitch—expresses sadness or seriousness • Vocal Quality:the actual sound of one’s voice • Raspy, whiney, squeaky, etc.
—VOICE— Clarity is theclearness of speaker’s words • It is a total distraction to the listener when words are mispronounced. ______________________________________________________ EXAMPLES: INCORRECT:CORRECT: Gode Gold Eatin’ Eat-ing AmoniaPneu-mon-ia AthuletixAth-le-tics Axed Asked Settemba Sept-em-ber Shoulda/should of should have
Facial Expression • Use expressions that are APPROPRIATE to the content (ideas/information) of the speech. _______________________________________________ • For example:An excited and animated face sends the nonverbal message that the speaker is interesting andbelieves the topic is important. • For example: NO smile sends the nonverbal message that speaker is totally not interesting and could care less about the topic they are presenting.
Facial Expression(Participation) • I promise you the best summer of your life if you work at Adventure Land. • It is a great honor to speak to this group today. I could hardly wait to get here. • I want to talk about one of our country’s most serious problems—the war on terrorism. • It is time to welcome our winning basketball coach, Coach LeBron James. Let’s give our favorite coach a great big DeSoto West welcome!
WHY IS THIS SO IMPORTANT? EYE CONTACT
GESTURES • Gestures are movements of the head,shoulders, hands, or arms to EMPHASIZEpoints. • Don’t want to overuse gestures because they are likely to become a _____________ to the audience.
GESTURES(Participation) How do YOUpredict a speaker would gesture or move while saying the following statements? • He center crouched, and then exploded with a winning three-point basket. • As the earth moves around the sun, we experience night and day. • There are three—only three—major issues in this campaign.
Movement DO’S • Take a few steps during major turning points in your speech. • Face audience in same direction you are moving. • Stand balanced on both feet with your weight forward. DON’TS • Pace back and forth • Gesture all the time • Rest your weight on one foot (causes a loss of balance) • Play with any (loose) objects (in your pocket or on podium)
Microphone Etiquette • Don’t tap on the microphone to test it. Say,“Test one, two, three.” • Don’t stand too close to the microphone; it magnifies each sound. • Don’tlook at the microphone while speaking. • Don’t yell or raise your voice when using a microphone. • Don’tlet the microphone block your face as you speak. • Don’t swing the microphone on it’s cord.
