Topic: Type of Speech According to Manner of Delivery

and Principles of Speech Delivery
Lecturer: Salome M. Montemayor
A. Introduction to Nature of Public
Communication
B. Speech Forms and Speech Situations
1. Informative Speech- the basic
purpose is to promote understanding of
an idea. Informative speaking is an
opportunity to practice researching,
writing, organizing, and speaking skills.
 Informative Speeches
1.Informative speeches about objects focus on
things existing in the world. Objects include,
among other things, people, places, animals, or
products.
2. Informative speeches about processes focus
on patterns of action. One type of speech about
processes, the demonstration speech, teaches
people "how-to" perform a process.
 Informative Speeches
3.Informative Speeches about Events
Speeches about events focus on things that
happened, are happening, or will happen. When
speaking about an event, remember to relate the
topic to your audience.
4.Informative Speeches about Concepts
Speeches about concepts focus on beliefs,
ideas, and theories. While speeches about objects,
processes, and events are fairly concrete, speeches
about concepts are more abstract. Take care to be
clear and understandable when creating and
presenting a speech about a concept
 Delivering an Informative Speech
The Five-Step Method for Improving Delivery
1.Read aloud your full-sentence outline. Listen
to what you are saying and adjust your language
to achieve a good, clear, simple sentence
structure.
2.Practice the speech repeatedly from the
speaking outline. Become comfortable with your
keywords to the point that what you say takes
the form of an easy, natural conversation.
3.Practice the speech aloud...rehearse it until
you are confident you have mastered the ideas
you want to present. Do not be concerned about
"getting it just right." Once you know the
content, you will find the way that is most
comfortable for you.
4.Practice in front of a mirror, tape record your
practice, and/or present your speech to a friend.
You are looking for feedback on rate of delivery,
volume, pitch, non-verbal cues (gestures, card-
usage, etc.), and eye-contact.
 5.Do a dress rehearsal of the speech under
conditions as close as possible to those of the
actual speech. Practice the speech a day or two
before in a classroom. Be sure to incorporate as
many elements as possible in the dress
rehearsal...especially visual aids. It should be
clear that coping with anxiety over delivering a
speech requires significant advanced
preparation. The speech needs to be completed
several days beforehand.
 The Persuasive Speech
The purpose of a presentation to persuade is
to influence choices.
 This type of presentation is used by the
salesman, the public relations man, the
courtroom lawyer, the political candidate, the
legislator proposing a bill, the scientist offering a
new theory, the concerned citizen pleading for a
cause
 The Three Factors in Persuasion
According to Mortimer J. Adler
1. ETHOS- One has to establish his ethos or his
credibility and credentials, his respectable
and admirable character, before he can gain
the attention of the audience and persuade
them to do what he wishes.
2.PATHOS consists in arousing the passions of
the listeners , getting their emotions running in
the direction of the action desired.
Ex. Speech of Mark Anthony
 The Three Factors in Persuasion
According to Mortimer J. Adler
3. After arousing favorable feelings for your
desired results, the marshalling of reasons or
LOGOS should be established.
Suggested activities:
1. Present a “sales talk” using visual aids when
necessary’
2.Give a sales presentation of a product of your
choice
3. Deliver a case presentation to the class
 Other speech situations
Lecture-forum- a type of speech handled by one
lecturer on a topic he knows fully well. He is
given the opportunity to share his expertise on
a meaningful and significant area of interest. He
must be able to motivate his audience.
A forum may involve a simple question-and-
answer period or may actually involve the
audience in the discussion
 Other speech situations
Symposium- is a presentation by two to five
members , each of whom delivers short
uninterrupted speeches on current and related
topics on different phases of the topic.
Rules in conducting symposium:
1. Speak on current or related topics on
different phases of the topic.
2. Present your ideas in an organized way.
3. Be supportive of the proceedings.
4. Observe proper sequencing of presentations
within the time limit both individually and
collectively.
5. The chairman introduces each speaker,
announces his particular subject, and
immediately after the final speech briefly
summarizes the entire scope of the discussion.
 Types of Speeches

moment, without prior preparation for the speech.
The speaker is given only a few minutes to prepare
a short message.
a speaker is asked to give a report ot ro answer
a question
our daily conversations
2. Memorized speech is reciting from memory a speech
that has been prepared in advance.
a speaker reads from “teleprompters” in front
of cameras, government official giving important policy
announcements.
3. Manuscript style means speaking from a
carefully prepared manuscript.
a speaker reads from “teleprompters” in
front of cameras,
 government official giving important
policy announcements.
4. Extemporaneous style of speaking calls for a
speech to be researched, outlined, rehearsed,
and delivered in a conversational way.
