PRINCIPLES OF
SPEECH DELIVERY
Principles of Speech Delivery
Think of a speaker that one has heard and seen. State the reasons for
liking this speaker? Is it his/her confidence, appearance, mastery of
the language? All these answers are correct. A good speaker has to
have a clear voice and uses words that are understandable. A good
Speaker also uses the right facial expressions and appropriate
gestures. Moreover, speakers are liked when they talk directly to the
audience, maintaining eye contact with the listeners. These speakers
also move on the stage with confidence, showing mastery of public
communication.
First Principle: ARTICULATION
Word choice and grammatical correctness
are necessary in writing the Speech, but it is
articulateness in pronouncing the words and
speaking with clear diction that effectively
transmits the Message of the Speaker.
Second Principle: MODULATION
There are pleasant-sounding voices, quite
soothing to the ears, just as there are
unpleasant voices that sound flat, are high
pitched, or screeching. People like to listen to
voices that are well-modulated, meaning the
capability to adjust or manipulate the
resonance and timbre of the vocal tone.
Third Principle: STAGE PRESENCE
The ability to “own” the stage, of the Speaker being able to
fill the space and project his/ her personality to the Audience
—that is stage presence. The opposite of stage presence is
stage fright, which is considered by many as the topmost fear
in the world of public speaking! But instead of trying to get
rid of stage fright (which cannot be done anyway), all that
energy that is making one feel shaky and nervous should be
used to make the Speaker become an interesting, enthusiastic
speaker capable of being heard and able to move about on
stage.
Fourth Principle: Facial Expressions,
Gestures, and Movement
The Message of any speech is reinforced,
clarified, and complemented by Nonverbal
Communication such as facial expressions,
gestures, and movement. Without these
nonverbal elements, the Speaker may be
judged as boring, with flat delivery and an
unemotional voice.
Fourth Principle: Facial Expressions,
Gestures, and Movement
- Facial expressions should change with the
content of the Speech.
- Gestures should emphasize only certain points.
- Movement should allow the Speaker to carry the
Speech around, forward, and to the Audience,
metaphorically speaking.
Fifth Principle: Audience Rapport
It was pointed out previously that the most
important aid in establishing a connection with the
Listeners is an Audience Analysis. Using this data,
one is able to write a Speech that would appeal to
the Audience. Also because of the same data, one
will know how to deliver the Message to the
Audience and connect with them at a deeper level.
TYPES OF SPEECH
DELIVERY ACCORDING TO
PURPOSE
1. INFORMATIVE SPEECH
2. ENTERTAINMENT
SPEECH
3. PERSUASIVE SPEECH
INFORMATIVE SPEECH
•An informative speech provides the
audience with a clear understanding of
a concept or idea. The lectures of your
teachers are the best examples of this
type.
ENTERTAINMENT SPEECH
•An entertainment speech amuses the
audience. The humorous speeches of
comedians and performers are the
best examples of this type.
PERSUASIVE SPEECH
• A persuasive speech seeks to provide the
audience with favorable or acceptable
ideas that can influence their own ideas
and decisions. The campaign speeches
of the running candidates for
government posts are the best examples
of this type.
TYPES OF SPEECH
ACCORDING TO DELIVERY
•EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH
•IMPROMPTU SPEECH
•MANUSCRIPT
•MEMORIZED
EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH
Extemporaneous speech is a type of public
speaking that involves delivering a prepared
but not memorized speech on a given topic. It is
often used in academic, competitive, or
professional settings, where speakers have to
present their arguments, opinions, or
information in a clear and persuasive way.
IMPROMPTU SPEECH
An impromptu speech is given with little or
no preparation, yet almost always with some
advance knowledge on the topic. This is
sometimes referred to as "off the cuff" or
"spur of the moment".
MANUSCRIPT SPEECH
Manuscript speech is a written text read to
an audience from a paper scriptor
teleprompter. This method involves reading a
speech verbatim and istypically used when
there is a time constraint or the speech will be
telecast.
MEMORIZED SPEECH
Memorized speech is the act of memorizing
the information in a speech and presenting it
without using notes. There is a benefit to
delivering a speech this way. It doesn't require
the speaker to carry note cards around the stage.
