Correct Answer - Option 3 : Speaking
There are four methods of speech delivery: impromptu, extemporaneous, manuscript, and memorized.
Impromptu speaking:
- It is the presentation of a short message without advance preparation.
- Impromptu speeches often occur when someone is asked to “say a few words” or give a toast on a special occasion.
-
Impromptu speaking involves delivering a message on the spur of the moment, as when someone is asked to “say a few words.”
Extemporaneous speaking:
- It is the presentation of a carefully planned and rehearsed speech, spoken in a conversational manner using brief notes.
- By using notes rather than a full manuscript, the extemporaneous speaker can establish and maintain eye contact with the audience and assess how well they are understanding the speech as it progresses.
- The opportunity to assess is also an opportunity to restate more clearly any idea or concept that the audience seems to have trouble grasping.
-
Extemporaneous speaking consists of delivering a speech in a conversational fashion using notes. This is the style most speeches call for.
Manuscript speaking:
- It is the word-for-word iteration of a written message.
- In a manuscript speech, the speaker maintains his or her attention on the printed page except when using visual aids.
-
Manuscript speaking consists of reading a fully scripted speech.
- It is useful when a message needs to be delivered in precise words.
Memorized speaking:
-
Memorized speaking consists of reciting a scripted speech from memory. Memorization allows the speaker to be free of notes.
- It is the rote recitation of a written message that the speaker has committed to memory.
- Actors, of course, recite from memory whenever they perform from a script in a stage play, television program, or movie scene.
- When it comes to speeches, memorization can be useful when the message needs to be exact and the speaker doesn’t want to be confined by notes.
Hence, the 'Extemporaneous method' is a method of speaking.
