 INTRODUCTION

When talking about public speaking, speech delivery refers to the

speech presentation that you have planned, researched, outlined, organized
and practiced. It leans on the verbal and non-verbal communication of the
speaker - you. It also requires good oral communication and constant practice
for you to successfully deliver your speech.

I. LET’S PONDER!
Think about the public speaker that you have listened or watched to.
Did the speaker show confidence, enthusiasm, and appropriate gestures?
Speech delivery can show the level of confidence and preparation you have
as a speaker. If you combine your confidence and preparations on your
presentation, surely you will have a success as a speaker!

II. LET’S HAVE FUN!

Activity

1. Form a group of not more than 5 members.

2. Recall your experience when you had your first speech delivered in front of
an audience, may it be during a school event, a family event, or a contest.
3. Have a round table discussion and share your experiences with your
groupmates.
4. In sharing, focus on the following:
A. How did you deliver your speech? Consider the things such as your
voice modulation, stage presence, facial expressions, gestures,
movements, and your rapports with the audience.
B. Did you receive negative or positive feedback from your audience?
What are those feedbacks?
5. Create a summary of your group discussion and share it with the whole
class.

 DISCUSSION

I. TOOLS FOR EFFECTIVE SPEECH DELIVERY

To be effective in your delivery, watch and emulate people who speak in

public excellently. While observing, take note of the following:

1. How they approach their audience (formal, informal, personal,

conversational, intimate, among others)

 The success of a speech depends largely on how much the speaker can
interest the audience in hearing what you have to say (North, 2016). You
need a strategy for increasing the importance of the speech to the
audience, conveying its paramount idea, and turning a listener into a
follower of your views. We all consider ourselves unique and want to be
interesting to others. Being sincerely interested in the audience and
knowing their expectations comprise the key to effective speech delivery.

2. How they connect with their audience (using eye contact, body
movements, and facial expressions)
 Eye contact is the cement that binds together speakers and their
audiences. When they speak, their eyes involve their listeners in their
presentation.
 A speaker realizes that appropriate facial expressions and body
movements are important parts of effective communication. In fact,
facial expressions and gestures are often the key determinants of the
meaning behind the message. People watch a speaker’s face during
a presentation.
3. How they present themselves (stage presence: how they look, stand,
walk, use nonverbal cues, act on and off the stage)
 A slight smile, a glance at the far wall of the room, and posture should
express confidence and openness. Gesticulation should be synchronous
and consonant with what you say. By making movements with your

2
 hands, you emphasize the main thoughts and add confidence to your
words.
 Multiple studies have shown that appearance influences everything
from employment to social status. Whether we like to admit it or not,
ours is a culture obsessed with appearance. Attractive people are
more likely to get the job, get the promotion, and get the girl (or guy).
Bonnie Berry’s 2008 research on physical appearance also shows
that communicator attractiveness influences how an audience
perceives the credibility of the speaker. Overall, more attractive
speakers were thought to be more credible.

4. How they use their voice in terms of volume, pitch ,rate or speed,
pauses, vocal variety, and pronunciation.
 Voice and speech patterns, speed and volume are important for a
speaker because, according to numerous scholarly studies, up to 60
percent of all information is transmitted to the audience through these
aspects of speech. Any report should be expressive and include some
emotional aspects such as quietness, solemnity, reproachfulness,
beseeching, etc. By varying the tonality, speed, and volume of the
performance, you can align your speech to the general theme and the
overall aim.

The items enumerated are the tools that can help you develop your speech.
Practice in front of a mirror and observe your own delivery with these tools in
mind. Alternatively, you can practice in front of your family, friends,
classmates, or those who have already done public speaking. You can ask for
feedback or seek advice from them. Explore which tools work best for you and
develop a habit of effective delivery to enhance your public speaking skill.
Keep practicing and engaging yourself in speaking situations. Remember, you
already have the public speaking skill, but you will only improve if you speak
in public constantly.

 SUMMARY

The lesson walked us through the basics on how to deliver a speech

properly.

To summarize the lesson, speech delivery refers to the speech

presentation that we have planned, researched, outlined, organized and
practiced. It requires good oral communication and constant practice for us to
successfully deliver our speech. And in order for us to be effective in our
speech delivery, we must watch or emulate people who are exposed in the
field of public speaking and take note of the following tools that they use:

 How they approach and connect with their audience;

 how they present themselves;

 and how they use their voice

These tools will indeed help us in honing our skills in public speaking.
We should always practice our own delivery with these enumerated tools in
mind. We can practice with the help of our family, friends, and those people
who are public speakers. We can learn, seek advice, and hear feedbacks
from them. Lastly, we should remember that we already have the public
speaking skills, but the only way that we can improve is through constant
public speaking exposure.

“…never stop learning or working for what you want. Nothing comes easy, ever, if
you want something, you have to work for it. By working for it I mean work on
your craft, learn from people who have something to teach. It’s just like anything
else, practice makes perfect.”

-James Lafferty
