FACTORS O F P U BL IC

There are four factors that need to be addressed before speaking in
public: the logical, the mechanical, the emotional and the technical
factors.
Logical Factor
Let us first talk about the logical factor. This covers what is in your speech. It involves the way it is
structured, the facts you have, the statistics, and the points you will address.
You have to make sure that you group related information together and decide on the sequence you present
them in. Make your speech fluid by finishing one topic before going to the next, instead of going back and
forth between topics. The facts or information you present must also be verified.
Mechanical Factor
The second factor, the mechanical, encompasses things that make your speech interesting like props,
nonverbal communication such as facial expression and hand gestures, and visual aids like charts, graphs,
and multimedia presentations. Having such things can greatly improve your speech delivery, at least from
the audience’s perspective.
Emotional Factor
The emotional factor covers how the audience feel toward you and your speech, while you are delivering it
and after you are done.
You have to sustain the audience’s interest while they listen to you. A good way of making them like and
remember you is to tell a few jokes. You may also talk about yourself a little. That way, the audience will see
you as a person and they will be able to relate to you better. You also have to speak or address them as you
would normally speak to any other person.
Technical Factor
The last factor, the technical, covers things like room setup, screen placement, and audibility. It is important to
setup the room so that the audience has full visibility of you, the speaker.
It is also important that the audience can see the screen you’re showing a presentation on, make sure not to
cover it up by walking in front of it or by placing objects in its path. And of course, the people should be able to
clearly hear what you are saying. Hence, the size of the audience should be considered, for you may need the
use of a microphone to be heard.

The four factors of public speaking should be remembered, they are very important and could mean your
success or failure as a public speaker.
