7. DEFINITION
PUBLIC SPEAKING
- process of conveying
ideas, sharing opinions
and information.
- induces understanding
with a large body of
audience in certain
situations.
- uses words, facial
expressions and
movements.

8. 4 METHODS OF DELIVERY:

9. METHODS OF DELIVERY:
1. Manuscript Speaking
- the word-for-word iteration of a written
message.
- the speaker maintains his or her
attention on the printed page except
when using visual aids.
- it’s typically an uninteresting way to
present.
- Eg ; TelePrompTer, especially when
appearing on television

10. METHODS OF DELIVERY:
2. Speaking in Memory
-consists of reciting a scripted
speech from memory.
-allows the speaker to be free
of notes.
- Eg: script in a stage play,
television program or movie
scene.

11. METHODS OF DELIVERY:
3. Impromptu
- presentation of a short
message without advance
preparation.
- Self-introductions in group
settings are examples of
impromptu speaking.
- Another example is when
you answer a question such
as, “What do you think are
the lessons learned in
Zamboanga Siege?”

12. METHODS OF DELIVERY:
4. Extemporaneous
- presentation of a carefully
planned and rehearsed speech,
spoken in a conversational
manner using brief notes.
- promotes the likelihood that you,
the speaker, will be perceived as
knowledgeable and credible.
- But it requires a great deal of
preparation for both the verbal
and the nonverbal components of
the speech.
