Ways of delivering oral messages / presentation
We have four kinds of delivering oral messages or presentation.
1. Extemporaneous:
This method is based on notes and outlines. Making a presentation with an outline, note cards or visual aids is probably the most effective and easiest delivery method. This approach gives us opportunity to make eye contact with audience and also shoe you confidence.
In case you think that there is need to explain your topic you can easily judge that thing from your listener’s expressions. Note cards are better than sheets of paper.
2. Reading:
If you are delivering a statement which is having accurate facts and figures, you may want to read it. Government statement are sometimes read because the wording may be critical. If you select a way to deliver your speech, you have to practice enough so that you can read it efficiently.
Large fonts of words can help you. In case you want cues, may pause, may raising your hands, etc. Today, news readers on television often “read” from the teleprompter.
3. Memorization:
You should avoid to memorizing your speech, especially if it is long. You may forget your speech.
You must have to be flexible enough to adjust your speech. Sometimes, memorizing a quotation or few concluding remarks can boost your confidence.
4. Impromptu speaking:
You might have to give an impromptu or unrehearsed speech if you are called onto speak unexpectedly or someone invite you on stage for public speaking or may for you remarks. You should avoid speaking unpreparedly. Unless you have enough knowledge on the same topic or you are an extra-ordinary public speaker.
When you are asked to speak “off the cuff” take a moment to think through what you will. Human can think 800words/sec. so begin your unprepared speech.
There are some Strategies for effective oral communication ?
