1.Speaking from Manuscript
When speaking from manuscript, you read a speech verbatim—that is, from prepared written text that contains the entire speech, word for word. As a rule, speaking from manuscript restricts eye contact and body movement, and may also limit expressiveness in vocal variety and quality.
Watching a speaker read a speech can be monotonous and boring for the audience.
If you must read from a prepared text, do what you can to deliver the speech naturally:
-Vary the rhythm of your words.
-Become familiar enough with the speech so that you can establish some eye contact.
-Use a large font and double- or triple-space the manuscript so that you can read without straining.
-Consider using some compelling presentation aids.
2.Speaking from Memory
The formal name for speaking from memory is oratory. In oratorical style, you put the entire speech, word for word, into writing and then commit it to memory. Memorization is not a natural way to present a message. True eye contact with the audience is unlikely, and memorization
invites potential disaster during a speech because there is always the possibility of a mental lapse or block. But if you must use memorization, learn your speech so completely that in actual delivery you can convey enthusiasm and directness.
3.Speaking Impromptu
Speaking impromptu, a type of delivery that is unpracticed, spontaneous, or improvised, involves speaking on relatively short notice with little time to prepare.
Try to anticipate situations that may require you to speak impromptu and prepare some remarks beforehand. Otherwise, maximize the time you do have to prepare on the spot:
-Pause to reflect on how you can best address the audience’s interests and needs, and shape your
remarks accordingly.
-Take a deep breath, and focus on your expertise on the topic or on what you really want to say.
-Jot down in key words or short phrases the ideas you want to cover.
-If your speech follows someone else’s, acknowledge that person’s statements.
-State your ideas and then summarize them.
--Use transitions such as “first,”“second,” and “third,” both to organize your points and to help listeners
-follow them.
-Stay on the topic. Don’t wander off track.
4.Speaking Extemporaneously
Speaking extemporaneously falls somewhere between impromptu and written or memorized deliveries. In an extemporaneous speech, you prepare well and practice in advance, giving full attention to all facets of the speech—content, arrangement, and delivery alike. Instead of memorizing or writing the speech word for word, you speak from an outline of key words and phrases, having concentrated throughout your preparation and practice on the ideas that you want to communicate.
