employing the techniques in public speaking

Second Quarter, Module 6

 English 10 Module
A Journey to Public Speaking

(Deliver a prepared or impromptu talk on an issue employing the

techniques in public speaking)

Second Quarter, Module 6

I. Introduction

Rationale

Gerald R. Ford once said, “Nothing in life is more important than the ability to
communicate effectively.” As a 21st century learner, you need to be equipped with
knowledge and skills in speech delivery so that you can cope up with the challenges
in the society. Studying skills in speech delivery will lead you to enhance your critical
thinking skills, reduce speaking anxiety and boost your self-confidence, improve your
communication skills, empower yourself to be a leader and help you to get hired and
advance in your career in the future.

In your previous years in school, your teachers might have given you
opportunities to speak in front of your classmates to report, to deliver a speech, or to
recite a poem. However, you might have experienced anxiety before speaking in front
of an audience and that is a common fear. The good news is that delivering a speech
is a skill which you can learn.

This module will serve as your companion which will help you continuously
learn new things such as public speaking even if you are at home. Generally, the
activities and exercises will guide you to deliver a prepared or impromptu talk on
an issue employing the techniques in public speaking. At the end of this module
you are expected to:
• differentiate manuscript from impromptu speech
• apply the techniques of effective speech delivery through the manuscript
method
• deliver an impromptu speech employing the techniques in public
speaking

To achieve the last two of the three expectations above, you need the aid of an
audience (member/s of your family or friend/s) who will listen to you and evaluate your
performance using the assessment rubrics provided in this module.

Always remember that you must have determination and perseverance to

achieve your goals. Don’t forget to have fun and enjoy learning!

 II. Pre-Test

Try-Out

Let us start with a challenging task. Below is an excerpt from the speech of Martin
Luther King, Jr, “I Have a Dream.” Gather your family members to listen and let them
rate you using the simple rubric below. Read the speech to the best of your ability
using appropriate facial expression, tone etc. Kindly let your audience use a separate
sheet of paper for the rating and comments for your performance.

I say to you today, my friends, even though we face the difficulties

the difficulties of today and tomorrow, I still have a dream. It is a dream
deeply rooted in the American dream. I have a dream that one day this
nation will rise up and live out of the true meaning of its cred: “We hold
these truths to be self-evident, that all men are accepted equal.” I have a
dream that one day, the red hills of Georgia, sons of former slaves and
sons of former slave owners will be able to sit down together at the table
of brotherhood. I have a dream that one day even the state of Mississippi,
a state sweltering with the heat of injustice, sweltering with the heat of
oppression, will be transformed into an oasis of freedom and justice. I have
a dream that my four children will one day live in a nation where they will
not be judged by the color of their skin, but by the content of their character.

My Strengths My Weaknesses

What have you discovered about yourself as a speaker? If you have more
weaknesses than strengths and you are still afraid to deliver a speech, don’t worry.
The following information will guide you.

There are varied methods of speech delivery. In this module, you will be
familiarized with the prepared/manuscript and impromptu speech delivery. How do
they differ from each other?

Manuscript or prepared speech

The manuscript or prepared speech is written and the speaker reads it word for
word to the audience. In this method, the speaker will not miss anything. However, the
audience might be bored because of the monotony of the process.

Impromptu Speech

Impromptu speech is delivered with little or no time for preparation. In most

instances, you are called to speak at the spur of moment because you are expected
to be knowledgeable about the subject. The downside of this is that you tend to be
disorganized. However, if you are familiar with the topic, you can most likely discuss it
comprehensively.

When delivering a speech, you can use the following public speaking
techniques:

A. Use of Your Body

Body Language is the process of non-verbal communication through

conscious and unconscious gestures and movements. As you stand before an
audience, be confident and be yourself. You need to consider not only what you say,
but also how your body will support you and your words. When your actions are
wedded to your words, the impact of your speech will be strengthened. Always
remember that your body language conveys your conviction and confidence about
your ideas. If your platform behavior includes mannerisms unrelated to your spoken
message, those actions will call attention to themselves and away from your speech.

Here are five areas on which to focus as you plan, practice, and present:

1. Rid Yourself of Distracting Mannerisms.

Eliminate vocal and visual impediments. Some common faults of

inexperienced or ineffective speakers are:

* Gripping or leaning on the lectern * Finger tapping

* Lip biting or licking * Toying with a pen or jewelry
* Frowning * Adjusting hair or clothing
* Swaying * Chewing gum
* Head wagging * Moving back and forth

13
 * Scratching parts of the body * Looking at the ceiling

2. Build Self-Confidence by Being Yourself.

The most important rule for making your body communicate effectively is to
be yourself. The emphasis should be on the sharing of ideas, not on the performance.
Strive to be as genuine and natural as you are when you speak to family members
and friends.

3. Let Your Body Mirror Your Feelings.

If you are interested in your subject, truly believe what you are saying, and
want to share your message with others, your physical movements will come from
within you and will be appropriate to what you are saying. By involving yourself in your
message, you will be natural and spontaneous without having to consciously think
about what you are doing or saying.
To become an effective speaker, it is essential that you share your true
feelings with your audience. Your audience wants to know how you feel about your
subject. If you want to convince others, you must convey your convictions. Speak from
the heart and to the soul.

4. Build Self-confidence through Preparation.

As a speaker, nothing influences your mental attitude more than the knowledge
that you are thoroughly prepared. This knowledge leads to self- confidence, which is
a vital ingredient of effective public speaking. How many of you have ever experienced
a situation in which you had not prepared well for a presentation? How did you come
across? On the other hand, think of those presentations that did go well. These are
the ones for which you were properly prepared.

5. Use Your Everyday Speaking Situations.

Whenever you speak to people, make an extra effort to notice how you
speak. Observe, too, whether the facial expressions of your listeners indicate they do
or do not understand what you are saying. Plan everything including your gestures
and walking patterns.

B. Facial Expressions
A speaker realizes that appropriate facial expressions are an important part
of effective communication. In fact, facial expressions are often the key determinant
of the meaning behind the message. People watch a speaker’s face during a
presentation. When you speak, your face -more clearly than any other part of your
body -communicates to others your attitudes, feelings, and emotions.
C. Eye Contact
Eye contact is the cement that binds together speakers and their
audiences. The saying, “The eyes are the mirror of the soul, ” underlines the need for
you to convince people with your eyes, as well as your words.
Eye contact can also help to overcome nervousness by making your
audience a known quantity. Effective eye contact is an important feedback device that

14
makes the speaking situation a two-way communication process. By looking at your
audience, you can determine how they are reacting.

When you develop the ability to gauge the audience’s reactions and adjust
your presentation accordingly, you will be a much more effective speaker. The
following supporting tips will help you to be more confident and improve your ability to
make eye contact:

1. Know your material. Know the material so well that you do not have to
devote your mental energy to the task of remembering the sequence of ideas and
words.

2. Prepare well and rehearse enough so that you do not have to depend too
heavily on notes. Many speakers, no matter how well prepared, need at least a few
notes to deliver their message. If you can speak effectively without notes, by all means
do so. But if you choose to use notes, they should be only a delivery outline, using key
words. Notes are not a substitute for preparation and practice.

3. Establish a personal bond with listeners. Begin by selecting one person

and talking to him/ her personally. Maintain eye contact with that person long enough
to establish a visual bond (about five to ten seconds). This is usually the equivalent of
a sentence or a thought. Then shift your gaze to another person. In a small group, this
is relatively easy to do. But, if you are addressing hundreds or thousands of people, it
is impossible. What you can do is pick out one or two individuals in each section of the
room and establish personal bonds. Then, each listener will get the impression you
are talking directly to him/her.

4. Monitor visual feedback. While you are talking, your listeners are
responding with their own nonverbal messages. Use your eyes to actively seek out
this valuable feedback. If individuals aren’t looking at you, they may not be listening
either. Make sure they can hear you. Then work to actively engage them.

D. Modulation
Voice modulation is one of the most powerful weapons that you can have in
your arsenal while delivering a speech. Not only does it reflect confidence but it also
helps in convincing your audience about your beliefs or ideas. This is the power that
voice modulation commands over people! Therefore, to become a master public
speaker one must learn the art of voice modulation.
Here are a few tips:

1. The pitch: While delivering a speech, the pitch of your voice plays an
important part. Try to lower your voice slightly because due to microphones shrill
voices can cause a bit of annoyance.
2. Speak slowly: Another thing to be kept in mind is to speak slowly while
delivering a speech! Speaking slowly helps get your point across to your audience. So
remember to speak slowly and clearly.
3. Stress on certain words: To add a bit of impact in your speech, it’s advised
to stress on certain powerful words. You can even vary the intensity of your voice to
add a powerful impact to your speech and grab the attention of your audience.

15
E. Your Appearance Matters

Multiple studies show that appearance influences everything from employment

to social status. Whether we like to admit it or not, ours is a culture obsessed with
appearance. Communicator attractiveness influences how an audience perceives the
credibility of the speaker. Certainly a speaker who appears unkempt gives the
impression to the audience that he/she doesn’t really care, and that’s not the first
impression that you want to send to your listeners.

F. Transform Public Speaking Fear into Excitement and Confidence

1. It is important to breathe deeply and evenly before your speech

presentation.
2. Shift your focus from how you feel or look to the message you want to
share with your audience.
3. You should relax and visualize yourself confidently speaking in the
auditorium with your audience attentively listening to you.
4. You should focus on facts and not on your fears. Instead of focusing on
negative thoughts as you may commit mistakes during your presentation,
focus your attention on positive thoughts like “I have practiced very well
for this task”, “I am an expert for this topic”, and “I know I can do my
best.”
5. Build your speech on clarity, not on complexity.
6. Be prepared, plan and review your content well so you will be confident in
sharing it.
7. Practice makes perfect. You cannot be a compelling and confident speaker
without training. It also allows you to discover awkward phrases and
tongue twisters, helps you gauge your timing and lessen nervousness.
You can seek opportunities to practice in front of your family members or
friends. Let them give you useful feedback about your material and your
performance. You can also make a video recording of your own speech
delivery. As you watch yourself, notice the language fillers and practice
replacing them with brief pauses. Pay attention to your gestures, facial
expression and manner of speaking- they should appear natural rather
than forced.

B. Check It Out
Below is an excerpt from the Inaugural Address of His Excellency Diosdado
Macapagal. Practice speaking in front of the mirror so you can evaluate and improve
your postures, gestures, eye contact, facial expressions, voice modulation,
pronunciation etc. Then ask your family member to listen and evaluate your
performance using the rubric below and seek for useful feedback that can help you
improve your speech performance. (Kindly use a separate sheet of paper for the rating
and comments of your audience.)

It is incorrect to say that we are out to solve all the problems of the
Nation. No President can do that. Nation-building is an exacting and
endless endeavor. No President can build the whole edifice of a nation. All
that he is called upon to do, is to add a fine stone to that edifice, so that
those who shall come after him may add other fine stones that will go for
a strong and enduring structure. I stress anew that a stone that we are

17
 assigned to contribute to the edifice of a greater Philippines is, first, to
attend to a such short-range problems as sufficiency in the staple food of
the people, and more employment, and, second, to undertake a long-
range task of moral renaissance and the implementation of a socio-
economic blueprint which, although not immediately achieving prosperity,
will lead to that prosperity for all our people.
