This document discusses different types of speech delivery: - Impromptu speaking involves presenting without preparation and has the disadvantage of possibly being disorganized. - Extemporaneous speaking uses brief notes to present a carefully planned speech in a conversational manner, allowing for audience assessment. - Manuscript speaking is the word-for-word delivery of a written speech and depends on an accomplished public speaker using a conversational tone. - Memorized speeches have the advantage of maintaining eye contact but run the risk of forgetting lines and sounding monotonous.

Speech Delivery is one of the most important
aspect in delivering a speech aside from the
preparation of the speech which entails
research, organization, outlining, and
practicing. Delivery is a result of the
combination of two kinds of communication
which is verbal and nonverbal communication.

3. IMPROMPTU
SPEAKING
3

4. ▰ Is the presentation of a short message without advance preparation.
▰ Impromptu speeches often occur when someone is asked to "say a few words"
or give a toast on special occasion.
▰ You have probably done impromptu speaking many times in informal,
conversational settings. Self-introductions in classes are examples of
impromptu speaking.
▰ The advantage of this speaking is that it's spontaneous and responsive in an
animated group context.
▰ The disadvantage is that the speaker is given a little or no time to contemplate
the central theme of his or her message. As a result, the message may be
disorganized and difficult for listeners to follow.

5. EXTEMPORANEOUS
SPEAKING
5

6. ▰ It is the presentation of a carefully planned and rehearsed speech, spoken in a
conversational manner using brief notes. By using notes rather than a full
manuscript.
▰ This speech can establish and maintain eye contact with the audience and
assess how well they understand the message as it progresses.
▰ The opportunity to assess is also an opportunity to restate more clearly any
idea or concept that the audience seems to have trouble grasping.
▰ Advantages: Promotes the likelihood that you, as speaker, will be as
knowledgeable and credible; audience is likely to pay better attention to the
message because it is engaging both verbally and nonverbally
▰ Disadvantage: It requires great deal of preparation for both verbal and
nonverbal components of the speech

SPEAKING

8. ▰ This speech is the word-for-word iteration of a written message
▰ The success o this medium depends on: (1) the speaker is already an
accomplished public speaker who has learned to use a conversational
tone while delivering a prepared script; (2) the speech is written in a
style that sounds conversational
▰ Advantage: This speech is the exact repetition of original words
▰ Disadvantage: Typically an uninteresting way to present, unless the
speaker is rehearsed just like in poetry interpretation, declamation, etc.

9. MEMORIZED
SPEECH
9

10. ▰ It is the rote recitation of a written that the speaker has committed to memory.
▰ Memorization can be useful when the message needs to be exact and the
speaker doesn’t want to be confined by notes
▰ Advantage: Enables speaker to maintain eye contact with the audience through
the speech
▰ Disadvantage: Forgetting the lines and might end up speaking in a monotone or
a sing-song that fails to emphasize the most important points
