* FOUR MODES OF

DELIVERY
* Speaking in public has more formality than talking.
During a speech, you should present yourself
professionally.
* This doesn’t mean you must wear a suit or “dress up”
(unless your instructor asks you to), but it does mean
making yourself presentable by being well groomed and
wearing clean, appropriate clothes.
* It also means being prepared to use language correctly
and appropriately for the audience and the topic, to
make eye contact with your audience, and to look like
you know your topic very well.
*PS is more structured
* Usually time limited
* Questions not allowed to interrupt the speech,
* usually left for at end (time permitting)
*PS requires more formal language
* No slang, jargon or bad grammar
* Speeches should be something special so that they qualify as life
events and are remembered
*PS requires a different method for delivery
* More formal delivery
* No vocalized pauses – “uh”, “ah”, “um”
* Don’t use stock phrases repeatedly – “you know”, “basically”, “I
mean”

*Differences between
PS and Conversation
 *Now, let’s learn
about the Four
Modes of Speaking
in Public
* mōd/
* noun
* 1. a way or manner in which something
occurs or is experienced, expressed, or done.

procedure, process, practice
* "an informal mode of policing"

*MODE
* dəˈliv(ə)rē/

*DELIVERY
* Impromptu speaking is the presentation of a short
message without advance preparation.
* Impromptu speeches often occur when someone is
asked to “say a few words” or give a toast on a special
occasion.
* The advantage of this kind of speaking is that it’s
spontaneous and responsive in an animated group
context.
* The disadvantage is that the speaker is given little or no
time to contemplate the central theme of his or her
message.

*Impromptu Speaking
* Take a moment to collect your thoughts and plan
the main point you want to make.
* Thank the person for inviting you to speak.
* Deliver your message, making your main point as
briefly as you can while still covering it adequately
and at a pace your listeners can follow.
* Thank the person again for the opportunity to
speak.
* Stop talking.

* Here is a step-by-step guide that may be

useful if you are called upon to give an
impromptu speech in public.
* Extemporaneous speaking is the presentation of a
carefully planned and rehearsed speech, spoken in a
conversational manner using brief notes.
* By using notes rather than a full manuscript, the
extemporaneous speaker can establish and maintain
eye contact with the audience and assess how well
they are understanding the speech as it progresses.
* The opportunity to assess is also an opportunity to
restate more clearly any idea or concept that the
audience seems to have trouble grasping.

*Extemporaneous
Speaking
* The advantages of ES is that it promotes the
likelihood that you, the speaker, will be
perceived as knowledgeable and credible.
* In addition, your audience is likely to pay
better attention to the message because it is
engaging both verbally and nonverbally.
* The disadvantage of extemporaneous speaking
is that it requires a great deal of preparation
for both the verbal and the nonverbal
components of the speech.
* Adequate preparation cannot be achieved the
day before you’re scheduled to speak.
* Manuscript speaking is the word-for-word
iteration of a written message.
* In a manuscript speech, the speaker maintains
his or her attention on the printed page except
when using visual aids.

*Speaking from a
Manuscript
* The advantage to reading from a manuscript is
the exact repetition of original words.
* In some circumstances this can be extremely
important.
* For example, reading a statement about your
organization’s legal responsibilities to
customers may require that the original words
be exact.
* However, it also has some disadvantages.
* First, it’s typically an uninteresting way to
present.
* Keeping one’s eyes glued to the script
precludes eye contact with the audience.
* For this kind of “straight” manuscript speech
to hold audience attention, the audience must
be already interested in the message before
the delivery begins.
* Success in this medium depends on two
factors:
* (1) the speaker is already an accomplished
public speaker who has learned to use a
conversational tone while delivering a
prepared script, and
* (2) the speech is written in a style that sounds
conversational.
* Memorized speaking is the rote recitation of a
written message that the speaker has
committed to memory.
* When it comes to speeches, memorization can
be useful when the message needs to be exact
and the speaker doesn’t want to be confined
by notes.

*Speaking from
Memory
* The advantage to memorization is that it
enables the speaker to maintain eye contact
with the audience throughout the speech.
* Being free of notes means that you can move
freely around the stage and use your hands to
make gestures.
* If your speech uses visual aids, this freedom is
even more of an advantage.
* Disadvantages:
* First, unless you also plan and memorize
every vocal cue, gesture, and facial expression,
your presentation will be flat and uninteresting, and
even the most fascinating topic will suffer.
* You might end up speaking in a monotone or a sing-
song repetitive delivery pattern.
* You might also present your speech in a rapid
“machine-gun” style that fails to emphasize the
most important points.
* Second, if you lose your place and start trying
to ad lib, the contrast in your style of delivery
will alert your audience that something is
wrong.
* More frighteningly, if you go completely blank
during the presentation, it will be extremely
difficult to find your place and keep going.
* There are four main kinds of speech delivery: impromptu,
extemporaneous, manuscript, and memorized.
* Impromptu speaking involves delivering a message on the spur of
the moment, as when someone is asked to “say a few words.”
* Extemporaneous speaking consists of delivering a speech in a
conversational fashion using notes. This is the style most
speeches call for.
* Manuscript speaking consists of reading a fully scripted speech. It
is useful when a message needs to be delivered in precise words.
* Memorized speaking consists of reciting a scripted speech from
memory. Memorization allows the speaker to be free of notes.
