WAYS OF DELIVERING YOUR SPEECH

WAYS OF DELIVERING YOUR SPEECH
Once you know the topic and sub topics of your
speech, it is important that you consider what
kind of style you would use to deliver your
speech. It may be memorized, manuscript,
extempore or impromptu. Depending on the topic,
situation and your comfortability, you may choose
any of the style of speech delivery. But first
and foremost, we must clearly know what does each
style mean. Memorized Style The memorized style
of delivering your speech is when you have
written your speech, memorized it by heart and
you recite it to the audience word by word. This
type of speech delivery style is generally common
in acting when actors performing on the stage
memorize the entire play given to them by the
director in written form and they perform it as
it is written. It is also common in high schools
where students memorize their speech for various
competitions. Wherever this style is used, it is
generally pretended to be a spontaneous speech
rather than a memorized one. Manuscript Style In
this style, the speaker reads it word to word
from the written speech in front of the
audience. This style is really important at
places where time and accuracy of data, names
etc. play an important role like in news
reporting. If there would be errors in news
reporting, there would be a question mark on the
credibility of the channel.

Impromptu Style
Manuscript was originally done a paper on which
everything was handwritten but now hand written
paper has been replaced by a teleprompter.
Manuscript is most commonly used by newscasters
and television personalities.

• As per Cambridge Dictionary, impromptu literally
  means done or said without earlier planning or
  preparation. So an impromptu speech is an
  unrehearsed and unplanned speech. These speeches
  generally tend to be short.
• Since there is hardly any chance of making the
  notes so the speaker is generally looking
  directly at the audience. There are no set rules
  for an impromptu speech. An
• introduction, acknowledgement, toast, thanks
  giving speech, award acceptance speech and so
  are form a part of this quite often.
• Extemporaneous Style
• This style is a mixture of the memorized style
  and the impromptu style of delivering the
  speech. The speaker makes keynotes for his speech
  rather than jotting down and memorizing the
  entire speech word by word. The keynotes help the
  speaker in keeping in mind the idea of how he
  would deliver the speech, what words and phrases
  he would be choosing while speaking. There should
  be no fumbling and time allotted should be taken
  care of. Practice using the keynotes and then
  devote not more than 5 of the time in looking
  at the notes while speaking.
• The speaker may write the entire speech, practice
  with it and make keynotes for final delivery of
  the speech. Do not take the entire written matter
  to the podium.
• This method is the most recommended one in the
  public speaking courses and is followed by most
  of the speakers.
• As said earlier, depending on the speech,
  situation and your comfortability you may pick
  your style of delivering the speech.
