delivery you choose Impromptu speeches
(those delivered on the spur of the
moment) are either not prepared at all or
prepared very hastily.

unobtrusively as possible
expect when reading a

your note card

5. WRITING AND REVISING YOUR
SPEECH
While extemporaneous speech is carefully
prepared in a full – sentence outline form,
and the central idea, main point, and
subpoints are carefully phrased the rest of
the speech is worded by the speaker as
the speech is being presented

6. Following are some suggestions for
preparing a manuscript speech:
1. Set aside an adequate block of time in which to write your manuscript
2. Write your first draft a soon as possible after yuo have finished your
preparation outline
3. When writing the rough draft of your manuscript, skip every other line and
leave ample margins
4. Write your speech as if you were talking to friends
5. If you experience trouble writing in an oral style; try delivering your speech
into a tape recorder from your preparation outline
6. Don’t be afraid of writing too much for your first draft
7. Allow a cooling – off period of at least twenty – four hours before you revise
abnd rewrite the first draft of your manuscript
8. An manuscript speech should have a specific form

7. The following are typical:
• A manuscript should be devided into three parts –
the introduction, the body, and the conclusion
• A manuscript should be typed or printed (double or
triple spaced) on only one side of the paper
• A manuscript must be legible at a glance. Never
write out a manuscript longhand. Consider typing
or printing it in caps. Underline or circle important
parts.
• Multiple pages of a manuscript should be
numbered, and the pages should be loose rather
than stapled together.
• A manuscript should be neat in appearance,
punctuated correctly, and free from grammatical
errors, misspelled words, and awkward sentences.

8. PRACTICING THE SPEECH

key – word outline, note cards,
or manuscript that you plan to
use when delivering your
speech

intented audience

extemporancous, manuscript or
memorized, an important
characteristic is spontaneity
