Speech communication begins with a speaker. He/she is the person who is presenting an oral message to a listener.
Speaker
It is whatever a speaker communicates to someone else. Your goal in public speaking is to have your intended message that is actually communicated.
Achieving this depends both on what you say (the verbal message) and on how you say it (the non-verbal).
Message
It is the means by which a message is communicated.
Public speakers may use one or more several channels, each of which will affect the message received by the audience.
Examples are television, radio, and a direct channels
Channel
The listener is the person who receives the communicated message from the speaker.
Without a listener, there is no communication. Everything as speaker says is filtered through listener’s frame of reference.
Listener
the sum of a person’s knowledge, experience, goals, values, and attitudes. No two people can have exactly the same frame of reference.
Frame of reference
Communication is a two-way process. Listeners do not simply absorb messages like human sponges. They send back messages of their own.
Feedback is the message, usually nonverbal, sent from a listener to a speaker.
Feedback
It is anything that impedes the communication of a message. Interference can be external or internal to the listeners.
Interference
This comes from within your audience. Examples are an audience having a toothache, pain, worrying about a test in the next class period, etc.
