9.1 Methods of Presentation Delivery 1. Impromptu Speaking Take a moment to collect your thoughts and plan the main point you want to make. Thank the person for inviting you to speak. Deliver your message, making your main point as briefly as you can while still covering it adequately and at a pace your listeners can follow. If you can, create some structure, using numbers if possible. Thank the person again for the opportunity to speak. Stop talking. If in front of an audience, don t keep talking as you move back to your seat.
9.1 Methods of Presentation Delivery 2. Manuscript Presentations Manuscript presentations are the word-for-word iteration of a written message. 3. Extemporaneous Presentations Extemporaneous presentations are carefully planned and rehearsed presentations, delivered in a conversational manner, using brief notes. 4. Memorized Speaking Memorized speaking is the recitation of a written message that the speaker has committed to memory.

9.4 What to Do When Delivering Your Speech Hands Use your hands as naturally as you would in normal conversation. Feet Stand shoulder-width apart, keeping your knees slightly bent. Objects Bring only what you need to give your presentation. Clothing Dress professionally, based on the culture of your organization. Eye Contact Eye contact is an extremely important element of your delivery. Rate The speed you say the words of your speech makes a difference. Vocalized Pauses Everyone uses pauses to some degree, but not all are problematic.
9.5 Conclusion Good delivery is meant to augment your presentation and help convey your information to the audience. Anything that potentially distracts your audience means that fewer people will be informed, persuaded, or entertained by what you have to say. Practicing your presentation in an environment that closely resembles the actual situation you will be speaking in will better prepare you for what to do and how to deliver your speech when it really counts.
