What makes presentation hold the interest and

attention of audience?

Your manner of presentation, your vocal inflections, your

perfectly timed pauses, your facial expressions and your

gestures.all these are part of an expert delivery. even a

dull and drab topic will turn out to be interesting if

presented well, whereas a really interesting topic mayappear to be dull because of poor delivery. Having

something to say is not enough; you must know how to

say it. A good presentation combines certain degree of

formality with the best attributes of good conversation-directness, spontaneity, animation, vocal and facial

expressiveness, and a lively sense of communication.

Extemporaneous and Impromptu

Extemporaneous is an ad-lib, with little presentation or no

forethought. Both impromptu and extemporaneous

speaking are public speaking styles where a person has

limited time to prepare a speech.

Impromptu is more spur of the moment and extempore

has more time of limited preparation.

In speech competition, both events give competitors a topic

, give a time limit for preparation ,then the speaker mustdeliver the speech within a certain amount of time.

Advantages and Disadvantages

Impromptu speaking tends to have more more random

topics [ film titles quotes, proverbs, names etc] while

extempore is news oriented. Impromptu has less time to

speak [2 min for preparation and 5-6 min for presentation]

while extemporaneous speech has more time to prepare[30 min for preparation 8-10 min for to speak.

Advantages-

1. the presentation of ideas is direct, spontaneous and

attention seeking

2. There is greater room for the accommodation of new

ideas that may occur while speaking

desired effect or impact.

4.This mode permits an effective use of all means of non-

verbal communication.

Disadvantages-

Extempore-

1. if preparation is inadequate speaker can get lost and

finds oneself uncomfortable2. if one relies too much on note cards and starts reading

out from them instead of just consulting them for

references, then speech looses its spontaneity

Impromptu-

1. The presentation lacks organized development of ideas

because of the shortage of time.

2. there is no supplementary material[ no data .nostatistics, no illustrations, no figures] to substantiate the

speech

3. the presentation may turn out to be a failure if one has

insufficient/inadequate proficiency in the language one

uses.

Manuscript

In manuscript presentation material is written out andyou are supposed to read it out aloud verbatim. you arenot supposed to memorize the speech and then recollectit

this is generally used in highly formal situation whichrequire strict adherence to a time limit and the use ofappropriateto-the occasion phraseology.

political leaders often use this mode so that they arereported correctly by media persons. The speech of high

dignitaries[ such as prime minister and president]broadcast on the radio or telecast on the television areread by them with the help of a teleprompter.

Memorization

In this mode also the entire speech is written. It is

memorized and delivered word by word. This mode is

generally used by a novice or the person who, owing to

the utter lack of confidence suffers from stage freight.

This type of delivery stands somewhere between

extemporaneous and manuscript presentation. Speech

is written beforehand , then committed to memory, and

finally delivered from memory.
