• Literature
• History
• Articulation

3. Components of public speaking and its
manifestations
• The speaker
• One of the most pivotal among the basic elements of
public speaking is the speaker itself, that is, the source of
the message. Many speakers forget that they are the
presentation itself, and not the visual aids they use. Many
presenters or speakers today put a lot of effort into visual
aids and forget that those elements are just that visual
aids that help the speaker make a better presentation.
Relying on visual aids in one hundred percent is not
recommended.

4. There are three factors that we need to consider
about any speaker.
• Your motivation when making the presentation or your
passion
• Your credibility as a speaker
• His style and personality to communicate his knowledge
and ideas.

5. #2. The message
• The message refers to everything the speaker says, both
verbally and bodily. The verbal component can be
analyzed in three basic elements.
• Content.
• Style.
• Structure.

6. • Content: This is what the speaker says about the subject
or topic.
• Style: This explains the way the content of the Speech is
presented. The style may vary; in some cases, it must be
very formal or very informal. Most presentations can fall
between these two extremes, and in each case, the style
should be determined by which one should be the most
appropriate for the speaker, the audience, as well as the
occasion and place.

7. • Structure: The structure of a message is your
organization. There are many ways to organize your
message; The structure could include an introduction, a
body or argument, and the conclusion.
• When your presentations are poorly organized, it reduces
the impact of the message. For a speech or presentation
to achieve the desired objective, it must captivate and
impact the audience from the first 60 seconds until the
end of the intervention.

8. #3. The audience
• A professional speaker should analyze his listeners before
the Speech and decide how to present his ideas. This
analysis could include some important considerations:
• Needs, Age, sex, marital status, race, geographic
location, type of group (homogeneous or heterogeneous),
education, trade, activity, and profession.
• The speaker should always adapt to the audience, both in
their language and attire (as much as possible).

9. #4. The channel
• When a speaker communicates with his audience, they
use many communication channels. These include the
nonverbal channel, the visual channel, and the auditory
channel.

10. • The nonverbal channel includes:
• Gestures
• Facial expressions
• Body’s movement
• Physical posture

11. • The visual channel includes:
• Diagrams
• Drawings
• Graphics
• Photographs
• Videos
• Objects

12. • The auditory channel include;
• Tone of voice
• Variations in voice volume
• Tapes, CDS or audio materials

13. • #5. Feedback
• Although for some people it might be strange to see
feedback as one of the basic elements of public speaking,
rest assured that it is definitely one of the key elements to
watch out for.

14. • Feedback is the process through which the speaker receives a
response or information from the audience that has heard the
message.
• The feedback process is not completed until the speaker has
responded to the concerns of his audience.
• When you speak in public, you must be attentive to the nonverbal
reactions of the audience and be prepared to respond to the
reactions of the public during the presentation. The responsibility
of a professional speaker is to provide your audience with all the
information you need to hear.

15. • #6. The noise
• There are two types of noise that a speaker should know:
• External noise and internal noise.

16. • External noise consists of sounds from laughter, poor
acoustics of the auditorium, temperature (too hot or too
cold), poor ventilation, visual interference such as low
light, or obstacles between the speaker and the audience.
• Internal noise occurs when the speaker is confused or
conveys an unclear message about what he wants to
express.

17. • The best way to combat any type of noise;
• Use more than one communication channel at the same
time (verbal and nonverbal). Ensure that the auditorium is
conditioned to appear in public. Use the repetition of ideas
throughout the exhibition. Transmit a clear and concise
message for the audience to understand.

18. #7. The place or situation
• It is recommended that you review the place or auditorium where you are
going to make your presentation. You also need to know in advance the
exact spot where you are going to speak in public and to coordinate all the
details to take all precautions in advance.
• For example: the conditions of the place, the seats, the air conditioner, the
lighting, the arrangement of the platform, the seats, the tables, etc. All details
must be under control.
• Having looked at the basic elements of public speaking, the next thing you
need to know is that there are several types of speeches a person can
deliver and that there are key principles you can follow to ensure a
successful speech delivery.
