Types of Delivery
Delivery: a combination of voice and body language that make up how the speech was presented. It is the mode or manner you use to transmit messages to your audience.
Types of Delivery: Manuscript Method
For official records or conference proceedings
Types of Delivery: Memorized Method
Sometimes sounds just as mechanical a a manuscript
Types of Delivery: Extemporaneous Method
Types of Delivery: Impromptu Method
Use the impromptu method when you give a short speech with little or no time for preparation. Even in an impromptu situation, pause to organize your speech. Focus on your main point, proof to support your main point, and a conclusion.
DELIVERY
Delivery: Vocal
Voice – the power source for speakers. Made up of vocal aspects (such as pauses), emphasis, volume, pitch, rate, articulation, and pronunciation.
Volume
Volume is the loudness or softness of your voice
An effective speaker uses a wide range of volume, as appropriate, from whisper to loud volume.
Voice projection is related to volume Varying the volume alleviates vocal
monotony Find a balance between TOO LOUD and
too soft
Volume: Practice
Loud: Miss G is the best Speech teacher ever!
Soft: North is way better than South! Project a whisper: Hey, what did you
decide to do this weekend?
Rate your “normal” volume.
Rate
Pace, or speed, at which you talk The rate of speech used to move
through the content Unfilled pauses (silence)should be used
effectively to monitor the speaker’s rate; Pause for effect Use slashes to mark pauses on manuscripts
Fine line between not waiting at all – and waiting too long!
Rate: Practice

Pitch
The vocal notes that you hit while speaking – the highs and lows of your voice
Avoid being monotone (deliver all of your words at the same rate and pitch)
The speaker should sound confident
LEARNING TARGETS:
I can use proper inflection, pitch and pronunciation
I can use proper body language while speaking
Pitch: Practice

Vocal Emphasis or Vocal Inflection Altering your vocal tone or your pitch to
stress important words or phrases The voice should be properly
expressive in order to engage the audience and create interest
Unfilled pauses (silence) should be used to create suspense and bring attention to an important point
Vocal Emphasis or Vocal Inflection: Practice
“Her name is Sally and she’s my friend”
“Her name is Sally and she’s my friend” “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend” “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend” “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend” “Her name is Sally and she’s my friend”
Articulation and Pronunciation Articulation, or enunciation, refers to the
crispness, the distinctness, which we say the syllables in a word
Avoid “mushmouth syndrome” Pronunciation refers to saying the
sounds of a word properly and stress the correct syllable
Articulation and Pronunciation Practice
Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers. A peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked. If Peter Piper picked a peck of pickled peppers, Where's the peck of pickled peppers Peter Piper picked?
D-A-T-A M-A-T-U-R-E M-A-R-T-I-N What other words that have multiple
ways of pronouncing them?
Additional Aspects of Vocal Delivery
Pause Before Starting = Pause and gather yourself before starting the speech. Not pausing or pausing for a very short time can make the speaker appear nervous, eager, or unpolished. It is more effective to pause for 2-3 sections before starting.
Avoid Fillers or Vocalized Pauses = The speaker should not utter vocalized pauses (Um, Ah, and You Know). Vocalized pauses are sounds or expressions used by many speakers to fill silence instead of using silent pauses.
PRACTICE: Put it all together! (Simple, honest statement, or perhaps sarcasm.)"I appreciate the kindness you have shown me, and I hope to return the favor when I can."
(Resentment, anger, unfriendliness)"Kindness! Do you call that kindness? I wouldn't treat a stray dog the way you've treated me!
(Deep feeling of earnestness and conviction)"If we all show a little kindness, a little concern for others' need as well as our own, we can help make the word what it should be.“
Delivery Notes!
DELIVERY
Delivery: Body Language
Body Language – nonverbal communication that is expressed
through eyes, limbs, posture, and face.
Eye Contact
When the speaker looks at the audience Eye contact duration = how long the
speaker hold eye contact Eye contact distribution = how the
speaker looks at all members of the audience and all parts of the room
Eye contact affects the speaker’s creditability and persuasiveness
Eye Contact: Practice
1. Staring Contest:Find someone next to you.Go as long as possible without blinking.Crown a winner and a loser.
2. Have a conversation without looking at the person’s eyes.
Posture
Involves position and projection of the shoulders, chest, abdomen, and legs
Posture relays confidence and bad postures can tarnish the speaker’s creditability
Posture Practice
1. Create a stance or posture for the following character types: Innocent little kid, age 6, wanting ice cream Grouchy old man who always yells at kids to
get off his lawn High school girl who is “too cool” Jock boy who was trying to be cool/tough
but got turned down by the girl he just asked out
2. What emotions are the silhouettes conveying?
Gestures
Gestures are moving the hands, head, or other body limbs
Gestures may be used to accentuate, exaggerate, or even replace verbal communication
Effective speakers need to be aware of their arms and hands and avoid positions that may send negative messages or be distracting
Match your gestures to your words!
Gesture: Practice
What gestures might be appropriate with these phrases?
“This needs to happen right now!” “I don’t care. It wasn’t my fault.” “…and BAM, it hit the floor!”
Facial Expressions
Facial expressions involve the use of eye brows, cheeks, lips, and other facial muscles to convey emotion
Smiling is considered the most important facial expression because it increases the speaker’s likeability and credibility
Facial Expressions: Practice
Warm up your face by trying to get your face as small/big as possible!
You just ate a lemon You walk into a surprise party for your birthday You just got a full ride to the college of your
dreams Stink eye / dirty look You have a question, but you are afraid to ask it Your parents are embarrassing you in front of
your friends You walk into a crowded room and you scan the
room until you friend your friends
Additional Aspects of Delivery Avoid Distractions Speaker-created distractions are unintentional mannerisms or
objects that can divert the attention of the audience
Use of Notes Speakers often use outlines or index cards while speaking, don’t
let them become a distraction
Use of Lectern or Podium The podium should support and hide the speaker’s notes Effective speakers are aware of their hands even when using a
lectern
Appearance Appearance includes attire, personal grooming, and hygiene Appearance affects the speaker’s credibility
