To be a successful public speaker one needs to work on the content as well. The content has to be different from boring lectures overflowing with data and facts but should be made interesting to draw the attention of the audience.

WHAT IS SPEECH
DELIVERY?

Speech delivery is a matter of nonverbal communication. It is based


on how you use your voice and body to convey the message
expressed by your words. Rather than calling attention to itself,
effective delivery conveys the speaker’s ideas clearly, engagingly, and
without distracting the audience.
WHAT IS GOOD DELIVERY?
Good delivery does not call attention to itself. It conveys the speaker’s
ideas clearly, interestingly, and without distracting the audience. Most
audiences prefer delivery that combines a certain degree of formality
with the best attributes of good conversation—directness, spontaneity,
animation, vocal and facial expressiveness, and a lively sense of
communication.
METHODS OF DELIVERY
► Reading verbatim from a manuscript
► Reciting a memorized text
► Speaking impromptu
► Speaking extemporaneously

SPEAKER'S VOICE
The voice produced by this physical process will greatly affect the
success of your speeches. The aspects of voice you should work to
control are volume, pitch, rate, pauses, variety, pronunciation,
articulation, and dialect.
• Volume - loudness/softness of voice
• Pitch - highness/lowness of voice
• Rate - speed of the voice
• Vocal Variety - changes of sound of the voice, either speed or tone
• Pronunciation - correct stress, rhythm, and intonation of a word in a
spoken language.
• Articulation - the ability to physically move the tongue, lips, teeth
and jaw to produce sequences of speech sounds
• Dialect - usually based on regional or ethnic speech patterns.
SPEAKER'S BODY
Here are the major aspects of physical action that will affect the
outcome of your speeches.
• Personal Appearance
• Gestures
• Eye Contact
PRACTICING DELIVERY
Here is a five-step method that has worked well for many students:
1. Go through your preparation outline aloud to check what you have
written translates into spoken discourse.
2. Prepare your speaking outline.
3. Practice the speech aloud several times using only the speaking
outline.
4. Now begin to polish and refine your delivery.
5. Finally, give your speech a dress rehearsal under conditions as
close as possible to those you will face in class.
