Insights on Public Speaking
After listening to the speeches of the champions, you may have noticed that aside from the speech
content, their delivery was also essential to their victory. The speakers seemed so natural and at ease that
you wonder: Are e昀昀ective speakers made, or are they naturally born e昀昀ective speakers? It is true that
some people are born with special gifts in public speaking, but it is also true that most of the best public
speakers either underwent intensive formal training or got involved in several speaking situations that,
over time, enabled them to hone the skill.
According to Stephen Lucas (2011), author of The Art of Public Speaking, a good delivery means that you
are capable and able to present your message in a clear, coherent, and interesting way. In addition to this,
he also says:
Good delivery…conveys the speaker’s ideas clearly, interestingly, and without distracting the audience.
Most audiences prefer delivery that combines a certain degree of formality with the best attributes of good
conversation—directness, spontaneity, animation, vocal and facial expressiveness, and a lively sense of
communication (p. 244).
As a student of public speaking, you should know that public speaking is not simply reading your speech or
talking about your topic. It requires making connections with your audience and presenting yourself
formally to the public. There are types of speeches according to purpose and delivery from which you can
choose the best one or the most appropriate in a given situation.

concept or idea. The lectures of your teachers are the best examples of this
