The video epxlains: 1. Speech delivery is important because it's a form of nonverbal communication, and people often trust their eyes more than their ears. 2. Four basic methods of delivering a speech: Impromptu, Manuscript, Memorized, and Extemporaneous. 3. Impromptu speaking involves speaking without prior preparation and can increase confidence and reduce speaking anxiety. 4. Manuscript speaking involves reading a written script word for word and is useful for sensitive and critical issues but may reduce eye contact and personalization. 5. Memorized speaking requires committing the entire speech to memory, suitable for short speeches but can be inflexible and lack spontaneity. 6. Extemporaneous speaking is recommended for most situations, combining research, organization, and rehearsing with structured spontaneity. 7. Developing an extemporaneous delivery style involves early rehearsal, later rehearsal, and final rehearsal to become familiar with the content and deliver it conversationally.
