PUBLIC SPEAKING Flashcards
It is a process of speaking in a structured, deliberate manner to inform, influence or entertain an audience.
Public Speaking
It is the term used to refer to the body spoken expressions of information and ideas. A speech may be delivered in any of the following modes: read from a manuscript, memorized and delivered extemporaneous or impromptu.
Speech
It is appropriate when the speech is long and when details are complicated and essential such as that they need to be given completely. Reading is also appropriate when one is asked to deliver a prepared speech on behalf of another speaker.
Reading from a Manuscript
requires a speaker to commit everything to memory. This method is excellent for short messages although it is also used for long pieces in oratorical, declamation and other literary contests.
Memorized speech
It may have a short or long preparation. The speaker may use an outline to guide him through his speech to achieve better organization and to avoid leaving out details.
Extemporaneous speaking
It means speaking at the spur of the moment. Since there is a very minimal or no time for preparation given for impromptu, the content and organization may suffer.
