Principles in Speech Delivery
- Pronunciation or Articulation
- Modulation
- Stage Presence
- Gestures and Facial Expressions
- Audience Impact
The way the speaker pronounces or enunciates the words.
Pronunciation or Articulation
First act of speech — when you allow air to be transported into a storage chamber.
Breathing
When you force the air into vibration using the vocal folds.
Phonation
When the sound is being amplified — using mouth, nose, and throat
Resonation
There is manipulation of the sound and timbre of the voice — vary tone so that it will not sound monotonous
Modulation
Makes the speaker “own” the stage — appearance, body posture — the way the speaker carries himself
Stage Presence
Facial expressions must be natural, the body movements must be purposeful to represent an idea or emotion correctly.
Gestures and Facial Expressions
Building an on the spot relationship with the ones listening to you or your audience.
Audience Impact

A research based framework for understanding how persuasion works — explains how people are persuaded to think or do something
The Elaboration Likelihood Model
ELM suggests two ways a listener can be persuaded:
- The Central or Direct Persuasion Route
- The Peripheral or Indirect Persuasion Route
When listeners elaborate on a topic, they will likely be persuaded by the arguments, logic, the evidence, and the reasoning presented to them.
The Central or Direct Persuasion Route
May be persuaded by the appearance of the speaker or by the speaker’s use of an emotionally charged story
The Peripheral or Indirect Persuasion Route
