    The Basics of Public Speaking

     Purposes of Speaking

    1. To Inform
    2. To Persuade
    3. To Entertain

    --Effective speaking incorporates all three purposes by providing information to persuade the
    audience to believe in the validity of the message, which often requires some entertainment.

    Four Delivery Methods/Styles:

    1. Memorized — speaking from memory


    2. Manuscript — pre-written and read word-for word
    3. Extemporaneous — planned outline but not spoken word-for-word
    4. Impromptu — off the top of your head and spontaneous (Not appropriate for class project
    work).

    Benefits of Each Method

    • Memorized — can be very engaging with eye contact, speaker delivers message in the best
    possible way.
    • Manuscript — speaker won’t forget the words which were carefully planned.
    • Extemporaneous — message becomes your personality, can be changed to fit the audience.

    Detriments of Each Methods

    • Memorized—obvious if you forget a word, takes time to memorize


    • Manuscript—can lose spot, hard to keep eye contact
    • Extemporaneous—can ramble, easy to skip important info
    • Impromptu—can be inappropriate.
    **Suggestion: Use 70% Extemporaneous; Memorize all facts, quotes, introduction, and conclusion;
    Read Manuscript of stories or long quotes; Impromptu fresh info and ideas.

    12 Tips For Public Speaking
    There are few skills that will bring more opportunity into your life than the ability to speak
    well in public. Below are 12 tips that can make the difference between those speakers
    who leave a powerful, positive impression and those that are quickly forgotten.

    1. Speak with an intent to move people to action. Know what you want your
    audience to do immediately after hearing your speech. If nobody does
    anything different than they would have done before you spoke – the value of
    your speech is zero.
    2. Start strong with a “grabber”. A personal story, a quote from an expert or a
    shocking statistic – something that takes a hold of your audience and gets
    them hooked and opens their mind to your message. Give the audience a
    chance to see your personal connection to the topic.
    3. Structure your material in three sections– grabber, middle, close. Know
    your material. Get really interested in the topic. Find good stories.
    4. Practice. Practice. Rehearse out loud with all equipment you plan on using.
    Work to control filler words; Practice, pause and breathe. Use a clock to check
    your timings and allow time for the unexpected.
    5. Know the audience. Try to speak to one or two people in the audience as
    they arrive – they will be your allies in the audience – it is easier to speak to
    friends than to strangers.
    6. Know the setup. Get practice using the microphone and any visual aids.
    7. Relax. Begin with a well prepared grabber. A relevant personal story is a
    great start. It establishes your credibility. It connects you to the audience and
    creates the right emotional atmosphere (and calms your nerves).
    8. Pauses. Include 3-8 second pauses at key moments – just before key
    statements or just after a story – this really brings the audience into the
    speech.

    9. Don’t apologize– the audience probably never noticed it.


    10. Smile. Look like the content matters to you – if the audience don’t feel
    that it is important to you, it will be really hard for them to feel that it should be
    important for them.
    11. Get experience. Take every opportunity you can get to speak (and
    listen to other speakers). Prepare well ahead of time. Experience builds
    confidence, which is the key to effective speaking.
