Eye-Contact
Engage the Audience
A speaker engages audience members
– through eye-contact –
by convincing them that the message
is just for them.

Eye-Contact
Engage the Audience
• First, look at the audience in general, but don’t focus on particular individuals.
• Focus directly on specific individuals, just for a few seconds at a time.
• Rotate your eye-contact to different people in the audience.
• Make sure you circulate throughout the room, not ignoring any areas of the room.

Eye-Contact
Get Feedback from the Audience
Although people rarely give verbal feedback during a speech, they will give you
important feedback from their eyes, facial expressions, and posture.
This will enable you to gauge how you are doing, and allow you to modify your
delivery – if necessary.

Verbal Delivery

Talk to your audience, not at them.
Use inclusive language –
we, us, our
instead of
I, me, you.

Verbal Delivery
Tone of Voice – Volume (loudness)
Vary your volume,
which can help to emphasize important points.
Project your voice –
“Throw” it far enough so people in the back of the room can hear you.

Verbal Delivery
Tone of Voice – Pitch
(how high / low the voice is)
Use your natural pitch.
Vary your pitch occasionally to make a point.

Verbal Delivery
Rate of Speaking
• Speed up, slow down – as appropriate.
• When speaking in your second language, it’s
better to speak more slowly than normal.
• “Chunk” sentences (break them into groups
of words), and use pauses in the right
places.
![Page 20: Speech Class Delivering Your Speech. Many speakers are so concerned with what they will say (i.e., the content), that they are unaware of how they will](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e595503460f94b53783/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Verbal Delivery
Example of Chunking and Pausing
“Ideally, for any speech or presentation that
you’re going to give in English, you would
work with a native speaker. Check the
pronunciation, pausing and emphasis of
each section of your speech.”
Make sure your sentences aren’t too long!
![Page 21: Speech Class Delivering Your Speech. Many speakers are so concerned with what they will say (i.e., the content), that they are unaware of how they will](https://reader035.vdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062717/56649e595503460f94b53783/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)
Verbal Delivery
Fillers (non-fluencies)
Try to minimize the use of fillers such as
Um, er, a, ah, etc.
The best way to do this is to practice your speech and know your material well !!!

Verbal Delivery
Pronunciation
Make sure you know how to pronounce every word that you use in your speech.
If you are not sure how to pronounce a word, ask someone for help ahead of time, or choose a different, easier-to-pronounce
word.
