DELIVERY OF SPEECH

One should not under estimate the importance of speech as delivery. After all specking is what makes a speech, distinctive from other form of communication.
Every individuals has the right to deliver his/her speech as wish.But this days,we all have freedom of speech, but im not sure of freedom after the speech.How we deliver a speech is just as important, if not more so, than the basic message we are trying to convey to an audience. But if you have worked hard on preparing the verbal part of your speech, you may feel that delivery is just an “extra” that should not require much time or effort. After all, your speech is carefully planned, researched, and polished. It is committed safely to paper and hard drive. It’s a carefully constructed, logically crafted, ethical message. The words alone should engage your audience’s attention and interest—right?After all the work of building such a message, you might wish that you could simply read it to the audience. However, this is the case in only a few kinds of circumstances: when the message is highly technical, complex, and extremely important (as in a new medical discovery); when international protocols and etiquette are crucially important and the world is listening; or when the speaker is representing a high-ranking person, such as a president or a king, who is unable to be present. For the purposes of your public speaking class, you will not be encouraged to read your speech. Instead, you will be asked to give an extemporaneous presentation. We will examine what that means.The nonverbal part of your speech is a presentation of yourself as well as your message. Through the use of eye contact, vocal expression, body posture, gestures, and facial display, you enhance your message and invite your audience to give their serious attention to it, and to you. Your credibility, your sincerity, and your knowledge of your speech become apparent through your nonverbal behaviors.      

How to Prepare and Deliver a Speech Effectively.

When preparing a speech it is very important to know your audience. Who are they? Is your topic of interest to them? How much do they already know?


     1
    Organize your speech. Jot down the 3 or 4 main points you want your audience to remember.
   
    2
    Summarize each idea in a single clear sentence. Then group pertinent information, around each idea. Facts may be important to your topic, but stories involving real people will usually have a greater impact on your audience.
   
    3
    Write your speech. Use words and sentences that are short and clear. Don't clutter it with professional or technical jargon.
   
    4
    Crack a joke, if appropriate. This will lighten the mood and pull the audience in. Don't make too many, though, because they might think that you are unprofessional.
   
    5
    Write down your main points on 3x5 note cards.
   
    6
    Rehearse your speech. Time the delivery to match the minutes alloted.
   
     7
    Look up! While taking a breath, while stuttering by accident, just look up at the audience and let them recognize that you know they're there.
   
     8
  Deliver your speech to your audience. Speak slowly and loudly. Stand in a relaxed manner with your feet slightly apart. Your hands should be at your side.hould not under estimate the importance of speech delivery. After all specking is what make a speech, distintive from other form of communication.
