Public Speaking

In the context of public speaking, delivery refers to the presentation of the speech you have researched, organized, outlined, and practiced.

Delivery matters since it engages the audience in the most direct way.

Reading the speech directly from a prepared script or written text. This method ensures precise delivery but may limit spontaneity.

​​Manuscript

Delivering a speech using a well-prepared outline or key points, allowing for flexibility and a more conversational style.

Extemporaneous

Delivering a speech without prior preparation or notes, usually in response to a spontaneous situation or question.

Impromptu
