PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH
DELIVERY
MS. ROSE ANN T. CASTILLO
THERE ARE SEVERAL PRINCIPLES OF SPEECH DELIVERY WHICH AN
EFFECTIVE SPEAKER NEEDS TO FOLLOW:

The First Principle of Speech Delivery is Articulation.


When a speaker’s words cannot be understood because of poor articulation, the
speech might as well not have been delivered at all. Articulation refers to the clear
pronunciation or diction and speech which is very essential in effectively
transmitting the message. Word choice and grammatical correctness are necessary
in writing the speech, but it is highly important to know by the speaker the correct
way of saying a word, whether they are familiar or unfamiliar. It also includes proper
breathing techniques together with the correct production of sounds that make up
words contribute to an efficient articulation.
The Second Principle of Speech Delivery: Modulation.
Voice quality is the key when we speak of modulation. There is pleasant sounding voice which is
soothing to the ears. On the other hand, there is sounding voice that is unpleasant to the ears.
Something that sounds flat, high pitch and screeching to listen to. Modulation refers to the capability of
the vocal tone to adjust to the resonance and timbre of the voice.
However, a microphone in any speaking engagement requires modulation as the amplifiers will
resonate voices further. Nevertheless, with or without the microphone, the speaker should know how to
produce a pleasant sound through his/her voice which will bombard the eardrums of the audience. If
the speaker produces a well-modulated voice, the audience will pay attention to every details he/she
will say. Hence, he/she will be heard and his/her purpose of delivering his/her message will be sent and
received clearly and unmistakably.
The Third Principle of the Speech Delivery is Stage Presence.

Stage Presence refers to the ability of the speaker to “own the stage,” meaning to be
able to fill the space and project his/her personality to the audience. However, the
opposite of stage presence is stage fright, which is considered the topmost fear in the
world of public speaking. There is a saying that “no one is immune from stage fright,”
the moment you stand in front of a large crowd you would always feel this fear.
However, a good speaker though would feel fear in speaking in front of an audience
should only feel it in the beginning part of his speech and should always overcome the
said fear. If the speaker manages overcoming his/her fear, chances are he/she would
deliver the speech victoriously. Otherwise, the speaker will fail to transmit the message
he/she has to send to his audience.
The Fourth Principle of Speech Delivery is Facial Expressions, Gestures
and Movements.
It is not just the choice of words and the proper pronunciation that make you an
effective speaker and make a successful speech delivery. The message of the
speech is being reinforced by the facial expressions, gestures and movements
of the speaker. These principles emphasize certain points. Facial Expressions
should change with the content of the speech, gestures or movements on the
other hand, highlights the points being clarified and direct the audience to
follow every word and important details the speaker has to say.
Lastly, the Fifth Principle of Speech Delivery is Audience Rapport.
It has been said in the previous lessons that the most important tool for
establishing a connection with the audience is an audience analysis.
Using those data, the speaker will have an idea on a speech material
that would appeal to the audience or listeners. With this data at hand,
the speaker would know how to deliver the message to the audience
and strike them or connect with his/her listeners at a deeper level.
