You have probably done impromptu speaking many times in informal, conversational settings. Impromptu speaking is the presentation of a short message without advance preparation. Each has its own strengths and weaknesses, but you will most likely want to focus on the extemporaneous approach since that is probably what your instructor will want from you. What follows are four methods of delivery that can help you balance between too much and too little formality when giving a speech. Speaking, as you will realize if you think about excellent speakers you have seen and heard, provides a more animated message. Reading is a more or less exact replication of words on paper without the use of any nonverbal interpretation.
Speaking allows for flexibility, meaningful pauses, eye contact, small changes in word order, and vocal emphasis. While speaking has more formality than talking, it has less formality than reading. It also means being prepared to use language correctly and appropriately for the audience and the topic, to make eye contact with your audience, and to look like you know your topic very well. However, it does mean making yourself presentable by being well-groomed and wearing clean, appropriate clothes. This doesn’t necessarily mean you must wear a suit or “dress up” unless your instructor asks you to. During a speech, you should present yourself professionally. Speaking in public has more formality than talking.

Practicing your speech in an environment that closely resembles the actual situation that you will be speaking in will better prepare you for what to do and how to deliver your speech when it really counts. Anything that potentially distracts your audience means that fewer people will be informed, persuaded, or entertained by what you have said. Good delivery is meant to augment your speech and help convey your information to the audience. “Student Speaker Leighanne Oh_6056136566_l.jpg” by NCSSMphotos is licensed under CC BY-NC-SA 2.0 (Content obtained from Competent Communication, CC BY-NC-SA 4.0) 13 - Chapter 3: Verbal and Nonverbal Communicationġ9 - 3.6 Importance of Nonverbal Communication in InteractionĢ0 - 3.7 Nonverbal Communication CategoriesĢ2 - Chapter 4: Interpersonal CommunicationĢ3 - 4.1 Introduction to Interpersonal Communicationģ2 - Chapter 5: Intercultural Communicationģ3 - 5.1 The Impact of Culture on Behaviorģ4 - 5.2 Understanding Cultural Differencesģ5 - 5.3 Barriers to Intercultural Communicationģ6 - 5.4 Cultural Communication Competenceģ9 - 5.7 Foundations of Culture and IdentityĤ0 - 5.8 Exploring Specific Cultural IdentitiesĤ5 - 6.4 Leadership and Small Group CommunicationĤ9 - 7.2 Foundations: Choosing Your Topicĥ1 - 7.4 Speech Delivery: Body Language and Voiceĥ2 - 7.5 Analyzing Your Audience and Situationĥ9 - Chapter 9: Developing Speech ContentĦ2 - 9.3 Citing Sources and Avoiding Plagiarism
