Basic Factors of Delivery


WEEK 2

In this module, you will learn the Basic Factors of Delivery but before that, let’s discuss first what are
the Methods of Speech Delivery. It is very important that you know all of these because these are
the bases of the activities that you are going to perform.

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.

There are some individuals who are capable enough to deliver speech effectively in public while
others need to be coached and directed to deliver speeches more articulately and memorably.

It takes time to become a professional speaker but with the help of the following practical speech
delivery tips, it will certainly help you on your way to becoming a more effective and dynamic
speaker.
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. Both
verbal and nonverbal communication can be spoken and written.

Speech delivery is an art, not a science. What works for one speaker may
fail for another. But there are general methods that one can employ for
effectiveness of delivery and they are the following:

Methods of Delivery
There are four basic methods of delivering a speech:
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 memorized text
- Memorized speaking consists of reciting a scripted speech from memory.
Memorization allows the speaker to be free of notes.
- Actors, generally, recite from memory whenever they perform from a
script in a stage play, television program, or movie scene. When it
comes to speeches, 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.

Now, that you already have a background about the different methods of
delivery, let us focus on the Basic Factors of Delivery. You need to remember
these factors while delivering your speech in the future.

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 1Gail 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.
