DELIVERING SPEECHES PRESENTED BY: NICOLE MARIE  DELIVERING SPEECHES In Lesson 2, you have learned the different types of speech according to its purpose which are: to inform, to inspire, to persuade, and to entertain. Whatever purpose one might have in his or her speech, he or she should be prepared for it. GUIDELINES TO PREPARE FOR A SPEECH 1. KNOW YOUR AUDIENCE 2. OUTLINE YOUR SPEECH 3. GET THE ATTENTION OF THE ROOM 4. OFFER EXAMPLES, STATISTICS, AND QUOTATIONS 5. WRITE FOR THE EAR, NOT FOR THE EYE 6. TIME YOURSELF WHAT IS DELIVERING SPEECH? DELIVERING A SPEECH IS THE ACT OF GIVING A FORMAL TALK TO AN AUDIENCE IN PUBLIC. THERE ARE MANY DIFFERENT WAYS TO DELIVER A SPEECH, INCLUDING MANUSCRIPT, MEMORIZED, IMPROMPTU, AND EXTEMPORANEOUS.  IMPROMPTU SPEECH In this speech delivery, the speaker is given a very little time to prepare to speak about a particular topic. Sometimes, the speaker also speaks at the spur of the moment. Thus, this is not a prepared speech and there is not enough time for preparation and rehearsal.  MANUSCRIPT READING This is also known as "read speech." The speaker just reads his or her written work word for word in this delivery. This is commonly used for solemn and historic occasions. Manuscript delivery may also be related with the speaking in radio or television given that the speaker should utilize perfect timing.  MEMORIZED SPEECH This kind of speech is good for elocution pieces because the speech is learned and recited word for word. Memorized speeches do not appear and sound natural and lacks the spontaneity that impromptu and extemporaneous speeches may offer. EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH Unlike the impromptu speech, extemporaneous speakers are given ample time to carefully prepare for their speech. A speaker can still rehearse and make an outline of the things he or she wants to focus on in his or her speech. He or she does not have to memorize his or her speech but he or she can use cue cards during the delivery. This type of speech is the commonly used in public presentations, like the one used in classroom speeches.
