Audience AnalysisFirst of all, several questions need to be

answered before you start preparing your speech:

To whom am I speaking?

What do I want to achieve in this speech?

What do I want them to know, believe, or do as a result of my speech?

What do the audience want from the speech?

What is the most effective way of composing and presenting my speech to accomplish that aim

as well as satisfy the needs of my audience?

Structuring your speechIntroduction

Attention getter:joke? story? statistics? visual? audio?Why use attention getters?

- to focus audience attention on the speech.- to create an organizing framework for the ideas, or information that is to follow (advance

organizers)

Introduce topic of speech - Relate attention getter to topic.

Tie to the audience- why it is important for the audience to listen/what is in it for me?

Preview main points

ORGANIZATION OF CONTENTSo Topical order : The speech is divided into sub-topics, each of

which covers one aspect of the main content/ input.

o Chronological order : The speech follows a time pattern in which you may narrate a series of events in the sequence in which they happen.

o Spatial order : The speech follows a directional pattern. That is, the main points proceed from top to bottom, left to right, front to back, inside to outside, or some other route.

o Causal order : The lesson input is organized according to a cause-effect relationship.

o Problem-solution order : The lesson is divided into two main parts – the first showing a problem , the second giving the solution .

Methods of Delivery (1)

• Manuscript – a speech that is written out word for word and is read to the audience.

• Extemporaneous – a carefully prepared and rehearsed speech that is presented from a brief set of notes.

• Impromptu - a speech delivered with little or no immediate preparation.

ChoreographyTo get your audience members to react to your text, you will need a variety of dynamics.

• Physical – move around, raise and lower your voice, use pace and pause, involve the audience, use hand gestures, use props.

• Psychological – do not be afraid to show a little emotion. Your

body and voice must match the tone of your words. If your language is strong, you must present a physical force to go along with your delivery. Let the words speak for themselves; reflect their nature through your voice. If you use the word "strangle," say it with a hint of menace in your voice.
