• Being a "real" person is the ethical nature of public speaking. The speaker cannot

just say one thing and then do something different, s/he is called upon to live by

what s/he is saying.

• Audiences in North America seem to respond more favorably to public speaking

which is modeled as a natural, but magnified conversation. Public speaking is a

conversation with the audience.

• Interactivity-- Rather than talking "at" the audience the speaker is speaking

directly "with" the audience.

• Eye contact--is an important aspect of successful delivery for the North American

audience. The audience expects the speaker to look them in the eye.

• Voice--the speaker will speak naturally but loud enough to be heard by all the

members of the audience. At a minimum the speaker needs to be intelligible to

the audience.

• Gestures--The real speaker is not an actor who takes on or plays a role, but one

who enlarges the natural gestures so everyone sees. Gestures may include

movements of the hands, face, or other parts of the body.

• There are four common methods of delivery: impromptu (little or not preparation),

memorization, reading from prepared manuscript, and extemporaneous (with

outline or notes).

• Develop a speaking persona by manifesting your own honest and sincere

personality without imitating the style of others when communicating with the

audience.

• Have something to say. The first indicator that aperson is speaking well is that the

speaker will have something to say. Withoutideas, opinions, or information, the

speech wastes the speaker's and the audience's time.

• Speak honestly and with sincerity. Unless you thoroughly believe in the message

you wish to convey to others, you are not likely to impress them favorably.

• Develop your own style; do not imitate. Speaking in a natural conversational style

means that the speaker does not imitate the speaking style of other great

speakers but may reflect their style or approach as it suits the speaker's

personality.

• When provided with a manuscript, you need to deliver it exactly as written. It is

the original author's ideas and not your own that you are presenting to the

audience.

• One important form of manuscript is a proclamation. When you read the

proclamation, you create a distinct speech act that puts the statements into

effect.

• After the speaker reads the manuscript and understands the meaning, he or she

can practice creating a conversational delivery by emphasizing important words,

creating vocal phrases with the right words together, and varying the pace and

emphasis.

• If you are preparing your own manuscript for delivery, consider first the audience

and write for them as if you were speaking directly to them.

• You can now use low cost personal teleprompters to help you deliver sermons,

deliver speeches, and create quality audios.

• Memorized delivery takes two basic forms: the total speech or manuscript is

committed to memory, or standard parts of the message are memorized and

woven into each speech.

• Memorizing your speech allows you to stay in touch with your audience.

• One of the main problems of delivering a speech from memory is that it sounds

like you are reading since you are focusing your attention on remembering the

words.

• When writing your speech, write as if you were speaking naturally, directly to an

audience.

Speaking from Memory

Stump Speaking

https://www.boundless.com/image/stump-speaking

• Remember that you are generally in control of the content, so you can decide

what you are going to talk about and include topics you want to talk about.

• Your delivery will naturally be more conversational and spontaneous.

• Since you are not well-prepared, you may overlook some significant information,

but audience questions can often help fill in the gaps.

• Become familiar with common organizational patterns so you can apply them in

any situation using the three part speech outline of an Introduction, Body, and

Conclusion.

• There are two popular methods for organizing ideas to create a graphical

representation for speaker notes--outlining and mind or concept mapping.

• An outline is a list of items with each item divided into additional sub-items. Each

level in an outline has at least two subcategories. There are three basic types of

hierarchical outlines--sentence, topic and phrase.

• Topic and phrase are the most useful for speaker notes since they allow the

speaker to quickly glance at the notes while maintaining eye contact with the

audience.

• Mind mapping and concept mapping are visual representation of ideas and

concepts. Both mind maps and concept maps can be used to graphically show

the relationship between ideas for a speech and as speaker notes for delivery.

• A mind map diagram starts with a single word as a central branch node and

lesser categories as sub-branches going off from the central node. A concept

maps can have multiple hubs or nodes with clusters of concepts labeled to show

the kind of relationship.

• While extemporaneous speaking may be free of the constraints of memorization

and manuscript speaking, it is not careless talk; the speaker prepares notes in

advance in order to deliver an organized speech.

• An impromptu speech is one where the speaker is given no preparation time at

all.

• A prepared speech is one where the speaker is given the topic well in advance

and the speaker is given time to research it and rehearse the speech.

• The different type of prepared speeches include extemporaneous, memorized,

and manuscript.

• Anticipate common questions; if you are asked about your line of work at a social

event, you can have a response prepared. Having an elevator pitch ready is one

way to prepare.

• If you think you will be calledon to speak, it is a good idea to take a few minutes

and make notes on important points.Select a familiar organizational pattern and

then add an introduction and summary conclusion statement to the main ideas.

• You want to maintain eye contact, speak directly to the other person(s,) and

minimize noise which will interfere with your delivery at an informal event.

• In a formal, stand-up event you want to put comments in context of the occasion,

maintain eye contact while glancing at notes, and use internal summaries and

transitions to show progress as you move to the conclusion.

• In a Q&A session, you want to listen attentively and repeat the question that you

are answering. If you do not know the answer, say so and make arrangement for

a follow-up electronic response.

Delivering the Speech > Speaking in the Real World




• Two types of speeches given in non-academic settings are entertainment

speeches and persuasive speeches.

• To be successful in an entertainment speech, you must adapt to your audience

and be mindful of the time.

• Essential tips for persuasive speaking include understanding your audience,

focusing on the speech's end result, using words with heavy emotional appeal,

and identifying why your topic is important .

Components of Effective Vocal Delivery

Delivering the Speech > Components of Effective Vocal Delivery




• Volume is the perceived loudness of the speaker. Loudness is what the audience

actually perceives and it correlates with the physical strength (amplitude).

• When speaking naturally without any amplification, you need to keep in mind the

distance to be covered by your voice and adjust sound production accordingly.

• In large rooms or when using videoconferencing equipment, you use a

microphone to convert sound into electrical signals for amplification.

• Lavalier mics, commonly used by speakers, are usually attached to collars or ties

with small clips. The cord may be hidden by clothes and either run to a radio

frequency transmitter or into a mixer.

Volume

Sennheiser Microphone



https://www.boundless.com/communications/delivering-the-speech/components-of-effective-vocal-delivery/volume

https://www.boundless.com/image/sennheiser-microphone

• You can vary the rate depending of the emotions you are feeling or the type of

message you are communicating. If you are experiencing joy, you will speak at a

fast rate compared to a speaker who is expressing surprise who will speak at a

much faster rate.

• When speaking you want to speak at a varied rate so that you can emphasize

important parts of your message.

• Do you speak fast because you are in a hurry to finish or are nervous? Caution,

slow down ([[fig:10582]])!

Rate

Traffic Warming Speed Sign

https://www.boundless.com/image/traffic-warming-speed-sign

• Pitch is the auditory attribute of sound ordered on a scale from low to high. You

can think about the notes on a musical score ([[fig:10393]]) with pitch getting

higher as you move up the scale.

• For men and women the size difference of the vocal folds, reflecting male-female

differences in larynx size, will influence pitch range so that adult male voices are

usually lower-pitched with larger folds than female voices.

• Consciously or unconsciously the speaker will use different patterns of pitch to

convey different meanings to the listener.

• In public speaking you can apply changes in pitch not only to a single word such

as an exclamation, "Oh!" but to any group of syllables, words, and even

sentences to convey different meanings.

• Avoid monotony, speaking with one pitch tone or little variety in pitch. Make sure

to vary the speech as you speak to show emphasis and change in meaning.

• You may use a pause toemphasize that the information coming next is important,

or to give the audiencetime to process what you have just said.

• Repetitive, unnecessary pauses like speech disfluencies, filler pauses, false

starts—particularly filler words such as like, you know, and so—can distract from

the message.

• Record a conversation andcount the use of unnecessary pauses and filler words

in relation to the otherwords in the speech. See if you can reduce the ratio over

time.

Pauses

https://www.boundless.com/image/time-100-jimmy-wales-dramatically-pauses

• In articulation you change the sounds coming from your vocal folds by moving the

teeth, tongue, and lips in recognizable patterns.

• After practice, if you can not physically produce the sound, then you may want to

consult with a professional speech therapist to help you with articulation.

• In pronunciation you change the sounds of words by using stress. rhythm, and

tone change on different syllables of the word.

• The syllable is the phonological "building block" of words. It is a unit of

organization for a sequence of speech sounds. For example, the word water is

composed of two syllables: wa and ter.

• Practice to make sure you are not substituting or omitting sounds when you say a

word, and pay particular attention to common sound substitutions such as 'tin for

thin and d for th so that you do not say 'den for then or goin' for going.

• Install an online dictionary with audio pronunciation guides on your cellphone or

laptop so you can listen to words that are troublesome to you when you are

practicing.

• A dialect is a variety of a language that is a characteristic of a particular group of

the language's speakers and is distinguished by shared vocabulary, grammar,

and pronunciation.

• The major native dialects of English are often divided by linguists into three

general categories: British, North American, and Australasian; over two-thirds of

English speakers live in the United States.

• Though the U.S. federal government has no official language, English is the

common language used by the federal government and is considered the de

facto language of the United States.

• All dialects have communicative value within the particular dialect community.

When a person moves out of their home dialect community, they may encounter

negative evaluations by those in powerful positions who speak a different dialect

and have set a standard for others.

• You achieve vocal variety by using any or all of the features of paralanguage—

rate, pitch, volume and pauses to change the way you deliver your message.

• Consider that emphasis allows you to compare and contrast. You might say one

phrase at a faster rate in comparison to another phrase that you speak at a

slower rate. You might speak louder at the end of your speech to create a

contrast with the softer delivery in the preceding part of your speech.

• The audience may judge the person on their appearance and not really listen to

what is being said.

• Clothing can demonstrate your culture, mood, level of confidence, interests, age,

authority, values and sexual identity.

• Different societies and cultures have different dress norms and understanding the

norms of culture helps with public speaking, though Western business styles are

now commonly accepted in many countries.

• Crossed arms, clasped hands and crossed legs signal closed posture, giving the

impression of detachment, disinterest and hostility.

• Open and relaxed hands, a wide stance and looking up demonstrate an open

posture and communicate a friendly and positive attitude.

• Considering what dress is appropriate for the occasion and culture of the

audience helps to send a visual message.

• Eyes can indicate interest, attention, and involvement with audience members,

while failure to make eye contact may be interpreted as disinterested, inattentive,

or rude.

• Different cultures have different rules for eye contact.

• The face as a whole communicates emotional states, such as happiness or

sadness. The seven universally recognized emotions shown through facial

expressions are fear, anger, surprise, contempt, disgust, happiness, and

sadness.

• Human faces are capable of more than 10,000 different expressions.

• You can use your body to communicate positively with the audience by following

Hamlet’s advice to suit the action to the word and the word to the action through

natural, not mechanical body movements.

• Repetitive, unnecessary movements such as pacing, swaying back and forth, or

bobbing your head up and down can distract the audience from your message.

• The gesture is subordinate to the message. The gesture is the physical, outward

effect which is connected to a thought or emotional impulse.

• Make sure that the audience can see your hands above the lectern. Hold you

hands at least waist-high and make sure to put your notes or other objects on the

lectern or podium so your hands are free to move.

• There are many different types of visual aids, such as handouts and projections

of PowerPoint slides.

• Make sure your visual aid uses readable text and graphics. People identify items

more quickly when using graphics in addition to text alone.

• A handout can help the audience remember what was said long after the

presentation, but passing them out can be extremely distracting. Once a handout

is given out, it might be difficult to bring back the attention of your audience.

Distribute the handout right before you reference it.

• Only show the audience what you are presenting at the moment and move on.

• Intimate distance is for touching and whispering, less than 6 inches to 18 inches;

personal distance is for talking to good friends or family, 1.5 to 4 feet; social

distance for interactions among acquaintances, 4 to 12 feet; and public distance

for public speaking, 12-25 feet.

• Generally, public speaking will occur in the far phase of the social distance from

7-12 feet for small group lecture, and primarily in the public distance from 12-25

feet.

• Public speaking events are likely to occur in a secondary territory, such as a

regular meeting place for a group, or a public territory, which is reserved for the

event and used by many different groups who do not have claim to the space.

• At the most basic level, the speaker who is using public space needs to make

sure that the voice is loud enough to be heard and that all members of the

audience can see the speaker, gestures, and any supporting visual materials.

• Interaction in Public Speaking


Delivering the Speech > Interaction in Public Speaking




• Public speaking is not just a one-way communication of ideas from speaker to

audience; an effective public speaker is one who engages and interacts with his

or her audience.

• Asking questions of your audience, referencing and calling out members of the

audience when appropriate, and even just acknowledging and thanking them for

their time are all effective ways of verbally interacting with your audience.

• Your non-verbal body-language cues such as facial expression, gesture, posture,

and eye contact all add layers of interaction with your audience. Pay close

attention to your non-verbal cues as you speak to ensure that your mannerisms

match your message.

Delivering the Speech > Rehearsing the Speech




• Rehearsal is important because you can apply your knowledge of public speaking

to test out what works for you and learn from the experience in a safe

environment.

• Rehearsal is important because it allows you to practice different parts before you

actually deliver the total speech to an audience.

• Rehearsal is important because you can put the effective parts back together to

create a total speech and practice before delivering it in front of the actual

audience.

• Plan a feedback strategy by recording for self-analysis or by receiving feedback

from a friend or a coach.

https://www.boundless.com/image/contestants-in-miss-universe-contest-rehearsal-photo-by-greg-doyle

• Rehearsal is a time to experiment, to play to mold your speech. Once you are

satisfied that you have crafted the speech into the message you want then you

can practice with all the parts in place to develop your own style and approach to

delivery.

• You are not attempting to mimic an actor who is giving a performance, you are

developing your own conversation with your audience. However, if you are going

to mimic,observe and mimic natural conversation.

• Consider at least two basics of timing---the amount of time that it takes to deliver

the speech and how to time use of visual aids such as Power Point slides for

presentations-- and timing as a feature of the rate of delivery.

• Consider the physical environmental. the technological and the situational context

as well as the larger world of the cultural and linguistic backgrounds of the

audience and speaker.

• Speak in a conversational style. Do not talk at your audience; pretend you are

talking with your audience.

• Rehearse just as you plan to present and if possible in the same location that you

will deliver your speech.

• You can solicit questions before, during, or after the event via Twitter or SMS, or

create a a "backchannel" display during or following the presentation.

• You can anticipate questions that will be asked and prepare responses ahead of

time.

• You can set up a Twitter hashtag for the audience to tweet questions during the

• You can provide a number or address for SMS texting during the speech so you

can respond to questiosn during or after the presentation.

• You can create a "backchannel" for projecting tweets or text messages during or

• Often after giving a presentation, you will be called upon to personally conduct a

question and answer (Q&A) session in which the audience will ask questions for

you to answer.

• Make sure you understand the question. To check for understanding, paraphrase

the question and ask for confirmation. If you don't understand the question, ask

for clarification.

• Repeat the questions for those in the audience who may not have heard it and

answer it directly and succinctly while looking at the audience or web cam.

• If you have prepared for Twitter questions using your #hashtag, SMS contact, or

email, you can create a direct interactive experience with all parts of your global

audience prior, during, or at the end of the speech.

• In general, you want to collect the questions for a Q&A session at the end or

have a cohort monitor the questions as they are posted to select the ones for you

to answer.

• You may project the tweets or texts using a projection system for a large

audience and a shared screen for the remote audiences while you conduct the

Q&A session.
