Study Notes
The Importance of Delivery
- Delivery is more than just reading and talking simultaneously, it requires professionalism, appropriate language, eye contact, and a well-groomed appearance.
- In classical tradition, the art of public speaking is called rhetoric, and the circumstances in which you give your speech or presentation are the rhetorical situation.
- An audience makes a speaker, and their attention should be focused on the external (them/others) rather than internal (you).
Methods of Speech Delivery
- Impromptu speaking: presenting a short message without advance preparation, often in informal settings or in response to unexpected situations.
- Manuscript presentations: reading the written message verbatim, maintaining attention on the printed page.
- Extemporaneous presentations: rehearsed delivery in a conversational manner using brief notes, allowing for eye contact and audience engagement.
- Memorized speaking: delivering a written message committed to memory, enabling eye contact and freedom of movement.
Preparing for Your Delivery
- Factors to consider: using lecterns, adapting to different spaces, dealing with different contexts, and handling small audience sizes.
- Practicing for varied situations: rehearse for different contexts, such as large and small audiences, outdoor settings, and microphone usage.
Practicing Your Delivery
- Effective practice techniques: practicing out loud, simulating real conditions, rehearsing with an audience, and ensuring proper time management and self-evaluation.
- Rehearsing: seeking feedback, practicing in front of colleagues, friends, or family to simulate the feeling of presenting to an audience.
What to Do When Delivering Your Speech
- Balancing verbal and nonverbal components: achieving a natural delivery, incorporating body language, and optimizing vocal delivery and pauses.
- Handling mistakes: acknowledging that mistakes are normal, avoiding drawing attention to them, and allowing for a seamless delivery.
