Manuscript delivery: written out fully before hand, read to the audience, examples: Impromptu delivery: little to no immediate preparation, examples: Extemporaneous delivery: carefully prepared and rehearsed, presented to an audience from a brief set of notes, needs to have a conversational quality. Sounds spontaneous, no matter how well it is rehearsed. Volume: loudness or softness of a speaker"s voice, can be used to make something more interesting or impactful. Pitch: highness or lowness of a speaker"s voice, be careful to make sure pitch doesn"t change too much from nerves or memorized material. Rate: speed at which a person speaks, maintain an understandable and appropriate speed. Not too fast to miss something important. Pauses: momentary breaks in delivery, don"t be afraid to pause, avoid filling pauses with words that do not add to the purpose of your message. Articulation: physical production of speech sounds, speak clearly!
