The document provides tips for effective public speaking delivery. It discusses the four main types of speech delivery: memorized, impromptu, extemporaneous, and manuscript. For effective delivery, speakers should simplify their message to 3 key points, enunciate words clearly, use deliberate pauses, and engage the audience through body language or questions. Thorough rehearsal is also important for polished delivery.
3. There are four main kinds of speech delivery:
• Memorized speaking consists of reciting a scripted
speech from memory. Memorization allows the
speaker to be free of notes.

IMPROMPTU
• Impromptu speaking involves delivering a message
on the spur of the moment, as when someone is
asked to “say a few words.”
• Extemporaneous speaking consists of delivering a
speech in a conversational fashion using notes. This
is the style most speeches call for.
• Manuscript speaking consists of reading a fully scripted
speech. It is useful when a message needs to be delivered in
precise words.

4. Basic speech structure
CONCLUSION
BODY
INTRODUCTION
For the intro you may want
to start with a story or a
question to get the
audience’s attention from
the get-go.
The body is the main portion of the
speech. It should contain the main
points that you want to make
The conclusion finalizes the speech
and clarifies to the audience what the
most important points of the speech
were.

6. Write an outline and focus on key points

to develop your speech

important so that

Faridi, A. (2009).
7. Simplify
• By simplifying and focusing on
a few main points (3 is the
magic number) you will make
it easier for the audience to
fully grasp what you are
saying.
• Everything you say in the
speech should relate to these
main points and back up the
simple message that you want
to convey.

8. Enunciate words clearly
• many people have a
tendency of
speaking a bit too
fast as a result of
being nervous.

9. Take deliberate pauses

Andrew Dlugan
It gives your audience time to reflect
on your words, and start making
connections with their own
experiences or knowledge in real time.
10. Use appropriate hand gestures and body language
Body language is part of non-verbal communication. It is the combination of
movements, gestures, and postures. This includes the way a speaker talks,
moves and looks on stage.
Faridi, A. (2009)

11. Avoid Distracting Manners
• Gripping or leaning on the lectern
• Finger tapping
• Lip biting or licking
• Toying with a pen or jewelry
• Frowning
• Adjusting hair or clothing
• Swaying
• Chewing gum
• Head wagging
They are physical manifestations of simple nervousness and they are
performed unconsciously.

12. Get audience engagement in any way you can
• Get the audiences interested, give them a reason to listen.
• Point out something important about the audience or the current setting.
• Show a compelling visual image.
• Ask a provocative question.
• State a fact that is troubling, amusing, or remarkable. Hamilton
13. Rehearse a lot
• Rehearsal is important because it allows you to practice
different parts before you actually deliver the total speech to
an audience.
