ORGANIZING AND

DELIVERING A
MANUSCRIPT
SPEECH
When speaking from a manuscript, you write
and deliver a speech word for word. The
question is, for whom is the manuscript
method most advantageous?
1. Public figures.
2. Media personalities.
3. Spokespersons for government and private
organizations.
Potential Problems with the Manuscript
Method
1. Since this type of speech follows a word-for-word method,
you might be tempted to skip practicing the speech.
2. In relation to the previous point, if you fail to practice your
speech and decide to read it during the time of delivery
itself, you might be glued to the speech all throughout.
You may overlook making eye contact with your audience.
Note that glancing at the audience only at the end of a
sentence is not sufficient to establish and maintain rapport
during the speech.
3. Lastly, because everything is planned based on the
time allotted, you will surely want to cover
everything in your speech before you run out of
time.
Strategies in Organizing and Delivering the
Manuscript Speech
1. Practice! Practice delivering the speech
several times.
2. Adapt! Even if you have a manuscript, feel
free to modify the text when the situation
demands it.
TIPS IN USING A MANUSCRIPT METHOD
1. PREPARE- Keep your text easy to use neatly
composing it in triple space
2. MARK- Own your manuscript by
highlighting key words and phrases.
3. PRACTICE- you can make a lot of notes on
the draft of your manuscript during the first
few rehearsals, but make sure to reprint
your script.
4. Practice some more- read the text
over and over orally.
5. Concentrate- concentrate on
keeping eye contact, but do not stare
at only one section of the audience.
6. Act it out-use a lectern or a
podium when practicing the speech.
