Questions
- What are the four methods of delivery? Briefly
describe each.
Extemporaneous
(prepared outline but no planned exact words), impromptu (little or no
preparation), manuscript (written and delivered word for word from a typed or
handwritten paper), and memorized methods (learn the speech and deliver it word
for word without notes or a manuscript).
- How do you organize an impromptu speech?
You
first say a few words, which build a foundation for the rest of the speech,
confidently so that you deliver more efficiently and successfully.
- When should you choose the manuscript method
of speaking?
When
you need to say exactly what you need.
- What is the key to successfully performing a
memorized speech?
First,
you memorize it. Then, you organize and deliver it, to a point where if you
mess up, you will be able to improvise ideas remembering where you are in the
outline.
- What factors are included in your personal
delivery style?
Body
language, eye contact, facial expression, and voice are factors included in
your personal delivery style.
- How should you stand and move during a formal
presentation?
Stand
straight up with feet slightly apart, and balance your weight on both feet.
- Why is eye contact an important part of your
delivery?
It
gives the audience a sense that you have connected with him or her.
- What can you do to control stage fright?
Convert
stage fright into speaking energy, and visualize every step of delivering a
speech.
- What are the guidelines for responding to
questions from the audience?
Think
before you speak. Listen to the question. Make sure that all listeners heard
the question. Limit your answer. Avoid a debate.
- How do you determine what media aids to select
for a speech?
First
take into consideration the pros and cons, and then, determine which would work
the best in your situation.
