This video explores these four types of speech delivery and gives some brief advantages and drawbacks of each type.
In the end, I recommend mainly focusing on the extemporaneous style of delivery. It is the most conversational, audiences prefer it, you can use it in almost all situations and it is a scalable skill you can get better and better at.

[@stephanieescober9052]

The key for a successful memorized speech is to show confidence and sincerity to the message that the speaker wants to relay. Memorized speech isn’t all about reciting the retained speech exactly as how you write it but how you deliver it to make it interesting to the audience. The speaker can freely show gestures and the tone of the voice will make the speech alive, be heard and absorbed. To be able to memorize well, it is important to visualize the content of the speech and know its outline. When rehearsing, the speaker should put the right tone in delivery as if it is the time that the audience needs it to be heard. Memorized speaking should not be a harm but instead, it should make us comfortable because we’ll practice this more than those who will hear and did our best to provide a thorough speech.

Upon watching the videos, it made me realize that public speaking is quite hard but maybe… it will be somewhat easy in memorized speech. The advices I have watched were great. It was quick and simply. When the time comes, maybe I can apply it too.

[@b23romerojonas97]

I have observed that most of the description are really helpful. Different types of speeches have its own advantages. It really depends on how you cope with it.

[@debruney]

Love presenters who are conversational and who have such a deep knowledge of their subject/content they can carry me along through the presentation in a way that is personal and connects with me most. I lean on this skill as much as I can. However sometimes, I have to lean on my "pathos" during my presentation if my "logos" is not strong enough :) Great coaching tips! Thanks!

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, Scott. I agree with you 100% on the conversational presenting style. It's really the most personal. Also, nice mention of "logos" and "pathos" from the other video. :-)

[@benedictamanfoumbi266]

I like involving listeners in what is saying, a conversation between the speaker and the audience is very important so I would practice the fourth one.

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, I agree. That's my favorite one as well. Thanks for participating.

[@munichcadiz566]

The videos provided are mostly focused on memorized speech, 2 videos shows 2 prepared and proper execution of memorized speech that made it appealing to the listener, their lines, intonation, eye contact and gestures are on point. The other video gave tips how to memorize, with having great content, memorize next and practice it until you feel confident about. And the last video tells about the 4 types of styles and their advantages and disadvantages, their uses, tips and tricks to execute each speech styles successfully and effectively. -For Oral Communication Attendance Purposes Only

[@johnraizensixto5191]

This video give me knowledge about the 4 types of speech delivery and how to deliver it with the audience, and I observed extemporaneous is way more better than the 3 types of speech delivery because this the most conversational, audiences prefer it and enjoy it.

[@ericdhenfrancisco8994]

As i observed you don't need to memorize your speech word by word because it will make your speech like a robot. You just need to express the idea of your speech. This video give me knowledge about different kinds of speech.

[@GabrielMartinez-fd8yq]

Just like the other videos it's very helpful, it made the points easy to understand, and the examples used is very spot on.

[@tedcastroverde8262]

This is actually helpful for us because you explained the four types of delivery for speeches very well and I noticed that the impromptu speech is very hard to do for beginners.

[@b09-elevergeorgemaxie96]

The type of speech delivered has to depend according to the necessity of delivering the speech and each and every type of speech has their own advantages and disadvantages, but I think the most efficient way to deliver a speech is extemporaneous speech because it allows us to practice the speech without sounding monotonous.

[@sarahdimala7354]

Oh I get it! Memorizing a speech is not only memorizing it word by word. You should also give attention to the tone of your voice because you may sound like a robot who speaks without any emotions in it.

[@laurasegovia4350]

I love impromptu and extemporaneous... both are really challenging.

[@joesotalbo6845]

This video further gave me knowledge on different kinds of speech, such as, impromptu speech, manuscript speech, memorized speech, and extemporaneous speech 😁😁😁

[@justintiburcio3088]

This helps me more to understand the memorize speech is.

[@b10-dasdasmarckjethro6]

This is very educational, it is easy to understand. I learned what are the different speech types and how to use each of it.

[@einnamasaya2263]

This give me more knowledge and learn some things about that kind of speech.

[@jhonnelrama9649]

thank you for this video because it's help for us student how to deliver the speeches :)

[@ravikanthgera3664]

Good and concise information, Great!

[@NaryVip]

Thank you sir

[@johnnelsondelmonte2934]

It explain the good side and the down fall of memorize speech. It is true that the memorize speech is robotic because you should focus on the script you memorized, you'll forgot about the expressions and gesture because you're afraid that you might forgot your speech.

[@b01-betosyuanpaulv.72]

This video provided a different types of speech, I observe that every kind of speech have different ways on how to deliver and deliver it with the audience. This speech helps me to analyze what is the advantage and disadvantage in every type of speech and what would might happen if the speech are delivered monotonously. -Oral com purpose only.

[@b16-ocampojerickog.40]

This video shows on how can u use the memorized speech well and it says that there are other way to use the other speech . It says and shows that memorized speech is more convenient in every situation that you're in .

[@felixsalazar4907]

What I observed in the videos I watched was more on memorized speech, for me memorized speech helps in delivering speech and facilitates your speech and most of all your body movement is synchronized because all you have to think about is the words you release and you do not have notes like the videos we watched. Memorized speech is also often used when you are performing on a large stage or shows on TV.

[@troller2423]

Impromptu speeches are just a lot of fun to do.

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, I agree. They are a challenge but lots of fun.

[@hanabeligho9030]

thank you so much it is help a lot

[@alexanderlyon]

Awesome. I'm glad it helped.

[@jayarsalunoy2510]

Memorized speech is very convenient in public speaking for professional speakers but I prefer Extemporaneous Speech before I always get nervous in front of many people.

[@ratnadewiharahap8925]

I like the pronounciation.

[@brainbook3035]

My favourite on is extemporaneous

[@hussain4187]

Love your work❤️

[@alexanderlyon]

Thanks, Trot. I appreciate it.

[@romuelborja7860]

The memorize speech is will be more easier when you are show confident and more prepared when giving a speech

[@weekdays206]

For me, it is extemporaneous because I just want the conversation to flow smoothly

asussss pinanood ko lang to kasi lesson sa Oral Com, wag na tayo maglokohan

[@azzatamano2826]

Great tips, thank you so much. I want to do the extemporaneous but I sometimes I come across nervous and I will be lost in the middle of the presentation. 😢

[@alexanderlyon]

That happens to me too. If I have an outline, I can get back on track more easily. Keep working at and you'll keep getting better.

[@jamelladelacruz5453]

thank you sir for this video it is a big help for us student to understand things about Speech😊

[@JoshuaPaulKing]

Is extermporanious the style that you use for these videos?

[@alexanderlyon]

Yes, I have some limited notes (you might catch me glance at them to the side of the camera) and I practice through it enough so that I can say it like I'm talking to another person one-on-one.

[@josef.torrealba6992]

This is glorious, I have been researching "speech speaking" for a while now, and I think this has helped. Have you heard people talk about - Penayla Dignified Paramountcy - (should be on google have a look ) ? It is a smashing exclusive product for discovering how to make a confident speech in english minus the headache. Ive heard some awesome things about it and my cousin got cool results with it.

[@JackiePhillipsTheSocialPet]

I can't believe this presenter just quoted a scene from an animated movie! What?

[@diablominero]

Delivering memorized speech only sounds wooden if you're bad at it. I thought the joke in that "Despicable Me" scene was how Gru's daughter hadn't been taught to recite poetry correctly.

[@realityoflife484]

very god i understand everything properly

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi, Reality of Life. I'm glad it was helpful. Thanks for the feedback.

[@realityoflife484]

dear sir do you have any video about writing like planning ,drafting,evaluting, revising

[@alexanderlyon]

Hi Reality of Life. No, sorry. I don't have any videos on writing. I'm thinking there must be a lot of channels out there that do instructional videos on writing. Good luck finding one.

[@kainat39]

[@kritikhurana1455]

[@Montageee]

lol

[@nancygallego9977]

I think you should speak slower because for those of us who are learning sometimes it is no easy to understand everything you say. So, I believe that explanation must be clear.

[@alexanderlyon]

I speak a little fast, true. I think I'm a little slower in my newer videos.

[@vestborgelev]

No emotion when you memorize your speech? Wow, has he not been at any theater

[@alexanderlyon]

Good question. The rules for public speaking are very different than for theater. This video is about giving a presentation or speech. Yes, I've been to the theater, by the way.

[@vestborgelev]

@@alexanderlyon by memorising a speech, I find that it sets me free to focus on the performing and connecting with the audience, not inhibit me from expressing my speech with dynamics, pauses and emotions.

[@alexanderlyon]

A word-for-word memorization? I could see how that might work for a very brief presentation. But, if you're speaking for 10 or 20 minutes or more, I don't see how that is possible. Either way, I'm giving advice to anybody who watches. Individual viewers have to adapt my advice to their specific situation. There are very few "always right" or "always wrong" answers when it comes to presentations and communication skills. We teach guiding principles that must be adapted because each person and every situation is unique.
