Speech I – Chapter 13 Presenting Your Speech
Presenting Your Speech • What do you think is the BEST thing to do to make sure you give a great speech?
Methods of Delivery • Impromptu • Manuscript • Memorized • Extemporaneous
Impromptu • Given on the spur of the moment with ZERO preparation. • Often, impromptu speeches are given when the speaker is surprised by a speaking opportunity.
Manuscript • The speech is written out completely and READ to the audience. • This does NOT mean that the speaker stares at his or her written speech the whole time!
Memorized • Written out completely and recited WORD for WORD. • It’s the same as a manuscript speech, except that this one is committed to memory.
Extemporaneous • Fully outlined and practiced, but not memorized. • The exact wording is left until the speech is given, making it sound spontaneous.
