What I Need to Know
Think of a speaker that one has heard and seen. Why do you think the
audience would like speech? Is it the speaker’s confidence, articulation or
pronunciation of words, appearance, or mastery of the language? All these answers
are definitely correct. A good speaker has to have a clear voice and utter words
understandably with the audience. The speaker also uses the right facial expressions
and appropriate gestures. However, a great speaker talked directly to the audience
with a convincing proposition and eye to eye contact. The speaker also moves with
confidence on stage showing mastery of Public Communication. In this module, the
learners are expected to understand wholeheartedly the principles of speech delivery.
What I Know
Directions: Below are the links of two speakers we have invited for today. Let’s watch
them carefully and try to accomplish the template this module has provided for you.
Here is the first link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=XdK0uYjy85o. Let’s watch
this and jot down your observation based on what you have watched. Do the same
to the second link: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YivQYeI0vys. Try to compare
and contrast the two speakers by accomplishing the template below.

Lesson
Principles of Speech
10 Delivery
What’s In
This lesson discusses about the different principles of speech delivery focusing
on the speaker’s articulation, modulation, stage presence, facial expressions,
gestures and movements and the rapport of the speaker to his/her audience.
MY WORKSHEET CHART
Overall Reaction about the Speech Remarks
1. What is the speaker trying to point out and the
audience to know?
2. Who do you think is the intended audience of the
speaker? Why the particular group?
3. What strategy(s) did the speaker use in order to
make the speech an effective one?
4. How do you feel about the speaker’s ideas as you
listened to the speech?
5. Were you convinced by the speaker as you listened
to the speech? Why or why not?
6. If you were to rate Martin Luther King’s Speech
using the scale of 1-10 where 1 is the lowest and 10
being the highest, what rate could you give?
What’s More
Directions: Using the speech you wrote in the previous lesson, let you and your
seatmate discuss and analyze the speech using the speech analysis template below.
Write your remarks or observation.
SPEECH ANALYSIS
Title of the Speech:
Name of the Speaker:

Indicators Analysis/Remarks
1. Articulation
2. Modulation
3. Stage Presence
4. Facial Expressions
5. Gestures and Movements
6. Audience Rapport
(Report your findings after the conduct of the “speech analysis” in class.)
1. Oliver and Cortright put succinctly that: “a speaker, like a rifleman, ought
first to make sure of his target.” This only proved that for the speaker to
succeed, he must first be well prepared.
2. We have to be familiarized with the different elements involved in delivering
a speech successfully.
3. Using the principles of effective speech delivery, we would be able to transmit
the message we have to transmit clearly and purposively to our audience.
4. The Principles of Speech Delivery include: articulation, modulation, stage
presence, facial expressions, gestures and movements and rapport with the
audience.
5. In articulation, the speaker must know how to pronounce the words clearly
and the other elements of utterance, paying attention to critical sound, in
modulation, the speaker must know how to control the flow and rhythm of
his/her speech, in stage presence, the speaker must have the ability to “own
the stage,” meaning to be able to fill the space and project his/her personality
to the audience, in facial expressions, gestures and movements, the
speaker’s facial expressions should change with the content of the speech,
gestures or movements on the other hand, will highlights the points being
clarified and direct the audience to follow every word and important details
the speaker has to say, and lastly, in the rapport with the audience, it is
the most important tool for establishing a connection with the audience.
6. To end this recapitulation about our topic, let us put in mind what Lilly
Walters said, and I quote, “the success of your presentation or speech,
will be judged not by the knowledge you send but with what the listener
receives.”
Directions: Record or video your prepared speech using your mobile phones or any
available gadgets you have at hand. Send or post your delivered recorded speech in
a google drive or any media platforms or applications you know for your teacher’s
viewing and grading. Be guided by the rubric below.
