>Speech According to Manner of Delivery

1. Reading/Speaking from a manuscript
 When a guest speaker gives a speech before an audience, most of the time he/she reads a
fully written out.
 CHARACTERISTICS
 Used in formal speech
 Speech is fully written out
 Usually typed
 Not folded but placed in a folder for neatness
 Allows greater control for wording of the speech
 Useful when you embellished your thoughts and you want to delivery your sentences
exactly as your wroted them
 EXAMPLES
 Graduation speeech and Inspirational speec
 DRAWBACKS
1.The speaker tends to read without emotion, lacking spontaneity, and may even sound boring.
The reading will contain no highlights, show little or no variation of intonations, and no obvious
emphases.
2.The speaker most of the time, never looks up from the manuscript being read. All anyone sees
is the top of the speaker’s head. This position contributes to the speaker’s voice being muffed
and unintelligible, even without microphone
3.The speaker can lose his/her place in the speech even while reading it or turn to the wrong page
of the manuscript
4.The manuscript may be blown by the wind/fan/air conditioning unit or fall from the lectern and
the order of the sheets of paper disarranged while being put back together
5. The formality of language of the speech/manuscript often means the use of complex word,
technical language which are more often that not pollysyllabic most of the time, the listeners
the lost in such language unless they are experts in the same field
2. Memorized Speech
,>When a student joins on onatorical context, he/she memorizes the full speech beforehand.
Characteristics:
-Also a speech that is fully written out
-The written speech is fully memorized-everyword, phrase, comma, and every period
Example:
-Candidacy speech, Speech Choir and Declamation
DRAWBACKS:
1.The most common problem encountered by the speaker is forgetting lines when one is already
delivering the speech. This is usually noticeable to judges. Very seldom does one meet a speaker
who can bridge that memory gap without letting audience notice.
2.The lack of eye contact with the audience. Many speakers tend to look upward, to the side, on,
worse, on the floor to help themselves remember the speech. They say not looking at the
audience seems to lessen their nervousness or at least does not exacerbate it.
3.Similar to reading from a manuscript, there could be a tendency to delivery the speech without
any inflection, unless of course the contestant has had a good coach and had practiced to sound
spontaneous.
3. Impromptu Speech
-When without preparation, or hardly any, you are suddenly asked to give welcome remarks in a
program that is about the to start or is already on going and there is hardly time to prepare.
CHARACTERISTICS:
-Delivered on short with little preparation (called thinking on your feet)
-This is not really made on the spot because one visually speaks or is asked to speak about
something one already knows
-One preparation comes from everything one has learned or experienced as they one all the
source of ideas for the speech
-Before speaking one may ask for a few minutes to collect one’s thoughts or be given time to jot
down a few notes.
-It has to have a beginning (introduction), a middle (body) and an end (conclusion) no matter
how short your impromptu speech
EXAMPLES:
>Church welcome speech, Welcome remarks and Recitation speech
ADVANTAGES:
 The speech is delivered in a spontaneous manner and in a more conversational tone unlike
the manuscript
 The speaker can adjust the speech (make it longer or shorter) and add or skip an idea without
any problem, obvious gaps, or long pauses due to memory loss as in the memorized speech
DRAWBACKS:
 The speaker can just go on, and sometimes, with no point to make at all
 The speaker may be so rattled and disorganized that the speech ends up with not much
sense.
4. Extemporaneous speech
>When you deliver a speech from a prepared outline of your ideas, complete with supporting
data, testimonies and statistics
CHARACTERISTICS:
 May sound like it is delivered off- the cuff as it were with hardly any preparation because it
sound so spontaneous, it may also sound like a speech that was fully written out and then
memorized, but both are not the case
 Speaker prepares good outline which organize the speakers thoughts and ideas (including
data, testimonies,etc)
 It is only this fully developed outline that is memorized.
 Less formal
 More conversational
 Prevents the speaker from losing eye contact with the audience
 Use of extemporaneous delivery may bring one or two note cards so they do not forget some
data such as specific concepts, complicated statistics or an important quotation
 Not manuscript
ADVANTAGES:
 The outline helps the speaker remember the particular order of points he/she wants to make.
There is no need to memorize paragraph upon paragraph that make up the speech
 At the same time, the outline allows the speaker to jump from one point to another or even
rearrange the order of the speech’s points should circumstances demand it without the
audience knowing or noticing the change
