  1. Verbal Delivery

  2. Verbal Delivery • Mode or manner you use to transmit messages to your audience • Not what you say, but how you say it • Messages + communication= delivery • Dynamizing: enhancing the communication of your speech to make a dynamic impression

  3. Speeches for life- Methods • Manuscripts: writing out the material word for word then delivering the speech with the manuscript in front of you in some form • Pros: less errors bc the words are in front of you, ample time to plan, good for new speakers (security blanket) • Cons: loss of eye contact and connection, loss of place on notecard • Should never use a wrinkled or torn notecard

  4. Speeches for life- Methods • Memorized- commit every word of the speech to memory, no notes or no papers • Pros: Great eye contact, well planned, nonverbals are more engaging • Cons: sometimes can make you more tense, can forget the speech, blank outs, robotic • Tips: memorize in small sections, practice…A LOT, have a “safety valve” in case of forgetting

  5. Speeches for life- Methods • Extemporaneous- don’t write out word for word and you don’t completely memorize, balanced btwn the two • Notecard has major points • Pros: good nonverbals, most believable • Cons: could go blank, look unprepared in some cases • Tips: organized notecards, key words, outlines, practice

  6. Speeches for Life- Methods • Impromptu: not rehearsed… at all. • Do NOT do this method for any assigned speeches • Little to no preparation • Pros: can be yourself, allows for witty comments, the most common type • Cons: vocalized pauses • Tips: know the audience, feelings, laugh, hmwk

  7. Vocal aspects • Rate: speed at which we speak • Average rate: 120-180 words/ min • Nerves= fast rate • Fast rates make you run out of breath • Avoid fast rates: breathe, speak slowly • Demosthenes (Greek Orator) had a speech problem. So he put pebbles in his mouth and stood by the sea, shouting to practice slowing down.

  8. Vocal Aspects • Pitch: vocal notes you hit while speaking • Don’t be monotone!! B O R I N G! • I think that you are the best • Ithink that you are the best. • I think that you are the best. • I think that you are the best. • I think that you are the best. • I think that you are the best.

  9. Vocal Aspects • Volume: loud or soft • Speak up! But don’t get uncomfortable loud! • Articulation/Pronunciation: crispness and clearness of each word • Dropping word endings. Add them.

  10. Teenbonics and Filler Words • Teenbonics: Communication used in your personal (teenage) life • In speeches, you must use professional comm (not words like… beast, boss, cuss words, cool, etc.) • Filler words: words used to fill silence • Ex: (um, uh, ya know, annnnnd)

  11. Using your body for during your speech… • Things to avoid: fidgeting, swaying, rigid standing, holding notecard in front of face, unbalanced posture • Be relaxed • Be aware of proxemics

  12. Gestures • Be natural • Gesture zone • Flyaway, judo chop, penguin wave • Just as important to practice the nonverbal aspect of your speech as it is to practice the actual speech itself.

  13. Speech Face • EYE CONTACT • make eye contact and scan the audience • There isn’t anything on the ceiling or floor • Couple of seconds/person (no stare-downs) • Don’t stare at objects Use eye contact to monitor audience feedback

  14. Quiz your knowledge… • Your body language is key to nonverbal comm. • Moving does not reinforce your speaking. • You speak in monotone when you deliver all of your words at almost the same rate and pitch.
