　　i. Introduction: Speaking in Public Requires More than aVoice
　　These guidelines are written for university students who want toimprove their public speaking skills through competition orotherwise. They indicate some of the proven skills required andbriefly indicate how they may be achieved.
　　A prepared speech should be written before it is delivered. Thisallows speakers to ensure that they are making relevant andsensible comments in a logical order and using appropriatelanguage. It is evident that preparation requires practice andrehearsal, but it also requires the written speech to be worked onso that notes can be used effectively. Guidance will be given as tohow to do this.
　　When giving a speech or presentation, the “how” is as importantas the “what”. It has been found that 70% of communication isvisual rather than verbal. Therefore, the content alone may not beenough to hold the interest of an audience. Indeed, there are manypotentially interesting and entertaining topics that are madeboring because the speaker has not learnt how to deliver theirideas and information appropriately. Likewise, interesting contentwell delivered in visual terms can be destroyed by a flat monotone,a harsh harangue or a weak chatty voice.
　　Learning how to give a short speech for which there has not beentime given for preparation is a useful skill. It enables people topractice thinking on their feet whilst at the same time organizingwhat they want to say into an understandable structure. Guidance isprovided on how to deal with impromptu speeches.
　　Guidance is therefore given in three sections:
　　· How to write a speech – script content and scriptpreparation
　　· How to deliver a speech – vocal delivery and physicaldelivery
　　· Impromptu speeches
　　Note: Speaking competitions are sometimes judged under 3headings: Manner (delivery), Matter (content) and Method(language). Method, the language element comes into both delivery(how you say something) and the content (what you say) so it hasnot been treated as a separate section in these guidelines.
　　ii. How to Write a Speech (I): Script Content
　　The English language requires the speaker or writer to makethemselves clear. It is not up to the listener or reader to guesswhat is meant. Therefore it is important to be clear what you wantto say and to choose the correct language. A collection of wordswithout meaning (empty words) will not work. Nearly all effectivepublic speakers will write their script in full and work on itbefore delivering their speech. It is known, for example, thatWinston Churchill, one of Great Britain’s greatest orators,who

　　had an exceptional command of the English language worked lateinto the nights on his speeches. They may have sounded spontaneous,but were anything but!
　　Answering the following questions will help you get started onthe right track.
　　1. What is the topic of your speech· If it has been given to you,then what does it mean·
　　2. Before starting to prepare a speech, think about who will bein your audience, what do they already know, what do they want toknow, what will interest them·
　　3. Why are you giving the speech, what do you want to achieve,what is your message·
　　4. How long should you speak for· Where will you deliver yourspeech·
　　5. What are you going to say·
　　In order to answer number 5, brainstorm, think and discuss withfriends, colleagues and teachers. Read and research your subject.Gather information and ideas. Make notes.
　　Also be brave! Be prepared, sometimes, to disagree with thesentiment in the statement or quotation but always give yourreasons. Be careful about doing this with very well establishedideas. They are well established because they have stood the testof time and have been challenged by many people before you.However, even if arguing for a point, be brave and look at thenegative aspects. Few issues are black and white and discussing thenegative may strengthen the positive. For example, if giving aspeech on what you think is the greatest invention and you decidethat it is “eye glasses”, describe what the world would be likewithout glasses: people bumping into each other, less cars on theroad or more accidents; people unable to read, written instructionshaving to be in huge type, rather than describing what glasses cando for people.
　　Another approach is to challenge normally accepted ideas –disagree with them! For example, why is the Internet addictive· Isit· Maybe it isn’t· Perhaps people just don’t have anything else intheir lives, are too lazy to find other forms of entertainment orhave no imagination· What happened to books, music, art· Is readingaddictive·
　　A good speech will have:
　　· A clear message and purpose
　　· Interest to the audience
　　· Adequate development of ideas
　　· A clear structure
　　· Logical flow – transitions and signposting
　　· An entertainment element – humor and/or word pictures
　　· The use of quotations and idioms
　　· Appropriate language
　　A clear message and purpose
　　a) Many speakers are tempted to try to say everything they knowabout a topic in order to show that they have done their homeworkand to prove how clever and deep thinking they are. This is amistake! A list of undeveloped ideas is useless. The audiencedoesn’t have time to think about one idea before the next is spokenand even if they could, they can’t mind-read what the speakerthinks or means.
　　b) A good speech will have one clear message (especially true ifit is a short speech) that the audience can find convincing. Itwill attempt to change people’s perceptions, to provide a new orunusual way of looking at the topic or to provide entertainment.This is why it is necessary to research your topic to findinteresting and relevant information.
　　c) Generally, a speech should have few ideas but each idea shouldbe developed in greater depth with more analysis than is often thecase. (See “Adequate development of ideas” on Page 5.)
　　Interest to the audience
　　a) There is no value in stating the obvious. It is notinteresting to talk about how much you love your parents orgrandparents since this is self-evident. 99% of people in the worldlove their family. What would be more interesting would be toexplore why some people don’t love their families, though for that,you may need a PhD in psychology and psychiatry to be able to talkwith any authority! Speakers should not make self-evidentstatements as if they are profound thought. Indeed, they should notmake self-evident statements in a public speech at all.
　　b) Don’t underestimate the intelligence of your audience. Peoplewon’t find an idea or information interesting if they already knowit or if it is obvious. For example, in one competition, the topicgiven for the prepared speech was “The Internet”. Many speakerswasted time and annoyed their audience by describing the Internet.This was unnecessary since the audience, all university studentsand judges would already know what it is. Similarly, don’t say“When I was young, I learnt to walk and talk.” That isobvious!
　　c) In English, moralistic platitudes such as “working hard fortomorrow”, “striving to do one’s best”, “wanting to live a goodlife” and “hoping for a bright future” are self-evident andtherefore not interesting. Similarly, phrases, such as “a brightfuture”, “attaining my dream”, are clichéd and in English soundinsincere. Don’t say “You should work hard and you will realizeyour dreams.” That is nonsense! Many people work hard all theirlives and don’t realize their dreams because their dreams areunrealistic, or they don’t have and can’t learn the necessaryskills, or they just don’t get the lucky breaks. All intelligentpeople know that hard work is likely to bring some reward, and theydon’t have to be told so.
