ENGLISH 7
LESSON 2:
BASIC FACTORS OF
DELIVERY
Most Essential Learning Competency:
• Use the appropriate oral language, stance
and behavior when giving information,
instructions, making explanations, and
narrating events in factual and personal
recounts (EN7OL-II-g-2.6.2)
• SPEECH DELIVERY is an important part of
public speaking. No matter how inspiring,
informative or persuasive the speech you
have written, poor delivery will leave your
audience as if nothing happens, and your
presentation will simply be forgettable.
• Delivery refers to the presentation of the
speech you studied, planned, described,
and practiced in the form of public
speaking.
• It is relevant because it is the most
important for the audience. It relies on both
verbal communication and
nonverbal communication.
• Verbal communication is about
language, both written and spoken
• In general, verbal communication refers
to our use of words while nonverbal
communication refers to
communication that occurs through means
other than words, such as body language,
gestures, and silence.
METHODS OF SPEECH
DELIVERY
1. READING VERBATIM FROM A
MANUSCRIPT
Manuscript speech is that which is written out

and read word for word to the audience.
• An example can be the President giving a
message for Congress.
2. RECITING A MERMORIZED TEXT
Memorized speaking consists of reciting a

scripted speech from memory. Memorization
allows the speaker to be free of notes.
• Memorization can be useful when the
message needs to be exact and the speaker
does not want to be confined by notes.
3. SPEAKING IMPROMPTU
An impromptu speech, by definition, is the

one that a speaker delivers without any prior
preparation on the topic. Impromptu itself
means,” doing something without
preparation”.
• The interviews of politicians, the
presidential debate, or even the panel
discussions on TV channels are all
examples of impromptu speaking.
4. SPEAKING
EXTEMPORANEOUSLY
Extemporaneous speech is that which is prepared

and practiced in advance. The speaker only uses a
brief set of notes or a speaking outline to jog the
memory.
• This type of speech is mostly used in business,
education, preaching, and political affairs.
BASIC FACTORS OF
DELIVERY
1. PLATFORM BEHAVIOR
It is everything that the speaker does
and does not do on the stage that
must have proper motivation.
• There should be reason for every
movement.
• Avoid mannerisms.
2. POSTURE
It refers to the way a speaker stands.

• Balance the weight of body on
both feet.
3. LOUDNESS
Speak loud enough to be heard. Pay

attention to the people at the last
row and ensure that they can hear
the speech.
4. CLARITY
Speak clearly. Speech must be
delivered relatively slower than in an
ordinary conversation.
5. PRONUNCIATION
Use correct pronunciation. When in

doubt about the pronunciation of a
word, consult a modern dictionary.
6. GRAMMAR
Use correct grammar. Expose oneself

to language through practice.
Tips for Better Body Language and Stance
by Gail Zack Anderson
1. Stand tall from the ribcage; this looks

confident–strong yet relaxed. Keep your
head straight but not rigid.
2. Plant your feet, weight distributed

evenly between both feet and place your
feet just a little apart for balance.
3. Don’t rock, sway, or shift from foot to

foot. Instead, try to balance on both feet
for a position that signals confidence and
control without rigidity.
4. Stand in the center of the front of the

room for your opening, move every 2-3
minutes or at the start of each new topic,
then return to center for a strong close.
5. Like to move around? Try this: move

from point A to point B deliberately, then
stop and plant your feet again.
6. Stand still or move? Standing frozen in

place; not good. Pacing; not good. Try to
achieve a balance between stillness and
movement
7.Still not sure? Ask someone to video

record your presentation (or a rehearsal)
and then watch it to see if you move too
much or too little.
Direction: Tell whether the following statements are True or
False.
TRUE
________1. Posture refers to the way you stand and sit.
________2.
FALSE Impromptu speech is well prepared and the
speaker uses notes to outline the speech.
TRUE
________3. Distribute the weight of your body on your two
feet evenly when delivering a speech.
TRUE
________4. For your opening speech, stand in the center of
the front of the room and move every new idea.
________5.
TRUE Speak loud enough to be heard especially by the
people at the back.
