CREATIVE SPEECH PRODUCTION

TYPES OF SPEECH DELIVERY

• IMPROMPTU
• EXTEMPORANEOUS
• MEMORIZED
• MANUSCRIPT

IMPROMPTU

-is done without an advance thought/idea. It is done without a plan, and it is

hastily prepared and delivered immediately.
-Impromptu speaking is the presentation of a short message without advance
preparation.
-An impromptu speech is one for which there is little to no preparation. There
is often not a warning that the person may be asked to speak.
Example:
Your speech teacher may ask you to deliver a speech on your worst pet peeve.
You may or may not be given a few minutes to organize your thoughts.
What should you do? DO NOT PANIC.

INTRODUCTION
- An introduction should include an attention getter, introduction of the
topic, speaker credibility, and forecasting of main points.
Example:
Speaker chews gum loudly and then puts it under a desk (attention getter,
demonstration).
Speaker introduces themselves and the topic and why they’re qualified to
speak on it (topic introduction and credibility).
“I’m Katie Smith and I’ve been a student at this school for three years and
witnessed this gum problem the entire time.”
BODY
- The body should have two or three main points.
Example:

Speaker states three main points of why we shouldn’t leave gum on desks: it’s
rude, it makes custodians have to work harder, it affects the next student who
gets nastiness on their seat (forecast of order).
Speaker then discusses those three points

CONCLUSION
- The conclusion should have a summary, call to action, and final
thought.
Example:
- Speaker summarizes those three points (summary, part 1 of
conclusion), calls on the audience to pledge to never do this again (call
to action), and gives a quote from Michael Jordan about respecting
property (final thought).

ADVANTAGE
- A speaker should not be afraid to use notes during an impromptu
speech if they were given any time to organize their thoughts.
DISADVANTAGE
- The disadvantage is that there is no time for preparation, so finding
research to support claims such as quotes or facts cannot be included.
- The lack of preparation makes some speakers more nervous and they
may struggle to engage the audience due to their nerves.

EXTEMPORANEOUS
- Is done with a short period of time prepare, like to 5-38 minutes, to few
weeks.
- The speaker in extemporaneous speech uses conversational delivery.
- Extemporaneous speech delivery method is when a person appears to
be speaking conversationally audience to their
- However, the speaker has carefully practiced and memorized their
speech. There are pre-planned pauses in the speech to seem as though
it is a casual conversation with the crowd.
- The person delivering the speech will have access to brief notes that
they can reference during the speech to serve as prompts.
- This keeps the person on target for the speech but still allows them to
maintain eye contact with the crowd and gauge understanding.
STEPS TO DELIVERING ASN PREPARING EXTEMPORANEOUS SPEECH:

• Choose a topic to speak on and write a thesis statement that embodies the
topic completely.
• Create an outline with at least three supporting points to the thesis.
• Add an introduction with a fun “attention getter”. This can be a light story,
fact, or rhetorical question to get the audience’s attention.

•Add a conclusion at the end that summarizes the thesis again, drawing on all
main points in the speech.
•Practice repeatedly until the speaker needs to reference their notes only
occasionally.

- While extemporaneous speech delivery allows the speaker to look

thoroughly prepared in their field, it is also cumbersome to prepare.
- To be able to speak in a conversational tone with minimal notes requires
a large amount of practice.
The speaker will need to repeatedly run through the presentation until they are
comfortable with performing it in front of others while looking relaxed.

MEMORIZED
- Is delivered through memorizing the information in a speech and
presenting it without using notes.
- Memorized speech delivery is when a speaker recites a written speech
that they have committed to internal memory with no written prompts.
- This can be advantageous to the speaker, as it allows them to maintain
eye contact with the audience.
- Not being restrained by notes or visual prompts allows the speaker
more freedom to walk around the stage and the audience.
- A memorized speech Is also fully prepared in advance and one in which
the speaker does not use any notes.
- In the case of an occasion speech like a quick toast, a brief dedication,
or a short eulogy, word-for-word sense. Memorization might make
- Usually, though, it doesn’t involve committing each word to memory,
memorizing a speech isn’t like memorizing a poem where you need to
remember every word exactly as written.
- Don’t memorize a manuscript!
- Work with your outline instead. Practice with the outline until you can
recall the content and order of your main points without effort.
 - Then it’s just a matter of practicing until you’re able to elaborate on your
key points in a natural and seamless manner.
- The advantage of a memorized speech is that the speaker can fully face
their audience and make lots of eye contact.
- The problem with a memorized speech is that speakers may get nervous
and forget the parts they’ve memorized.
- Without any notes to lean on, the speaker may hesitate and leave lots of
dead air in the room while trying to recall what was planned.

MANUSCRIPT
- Is a form of written text read in front of an audience using a paper script
or a teleprompter.
- Manuscript speech delivery focuses on a speaker who recites a speech
word-for-word from a written document.
- Manuscript speaking is a verbatim replication of what is written down.
- This is important when what needs to be discussed has to be preserved
in its entirety.
- Manuscript speeches can be useful when discussing precise medical
terminology or legal concepts. This type of speech is seen when the
President makes speeches off of a teleprompter and is an effective way
to stay on target while speaking.
Tips for this type of speech include:
• Using the large font for easy reading
• Prereading the manuscript ahead of time
• Practice the speech to pronunciation. Ensure correct

• Speak clearly and slowly.

• Speaking engagement conversationally will promote
- Manuscript delivery runs the risk of being dull and monotonous.
- When a person is reading off of a script, they are unable to gauge the
audience for engagement.
- They also cannot alter the information if the audience seems
uninterested or reacts unexpectedly.
- Manuscript speaking is a very rigid form of speech delivery.
