How to Deliver a Speech

Speaking With ConfidenceAnd Purpose

ELEMENTS OF GOOD SPEECH

ATTITUDEREHEARSALVERBAL EXPRESSIONNONVERBAL EXPRESSION

ATTITUDE• Attitude matters a great deal with delivery.• A confident presence is an aspect of your

ethos. • Fear can become a self-fulfilling prophecy:

We can make ourselves fail . . . or succeed.

DON’T

* Comment on your own performance.* Apologize for your speaking, especially not before you

speak.* Don’t hide behind the lectern, wear hats, or chew gum.* Don’t look over the audience heads or envision them

naked (silly myths).* Don’t “watch your own feet when you dance.”

DO* Be conversational. A public speaking situation is still personal, if you speak naturally and make eye contact. Look at people. They’ll relate to you.

* Move like you do in normal life, but much less.

* Stay focused on your material. You’re just the messenger, not the point of the message. If you’ve chosen topics well, it’s vital that you get this information to your fellow citizens.

ELEMENTS OF GOODSPEAKING

VOCAL EXPRESSION: * You must speak loudly enough to be heard, clearly enough to be understood, and slowly enough for your audience to keep up.

NONVERBAL EXPRESSION – Half of the equation!

* Body language matters because it influences your credibility and helps the audience focus on your speech. Nonverbal “frames” the verbal.

Vocal ExpressionThere are five dimensions of voice that can be manipulated for greater effect. Volume - Speak louder or softer for emphasis.

Pitch - Stay at an appropriate mid-range level.Rate - Accelerate for a few sentences to excite,Slow down and pause to emphasize some words.Articulation - Speak clearly with full voice.Quality - The personality of your voice, resonant,throaty, nasal, etc.

Nonverbal Expression• Stand still for a moment and make eye contact

with your audience. Then start. Speak only once you’ve made contact.--SLATE

• Stay in one place for awhile. Don’t pace around through the speech. Choose 2 or 3 places where you’ll take a step or two.

• Literally, “move into” your next argument.
