Gathering Materials: Arranging, Briefing, Committing
Gathering Selecting Briefing/Organizing Memorizing There are the steps you need to take to ensure you have a good handle on what you are talking and going to be talking about. At first, these steps might seem like they are taking forever. The more you practice the easier it will become. 1.Gathering: Own ideas, books and others sources, new material, research can all play into the content and body of what you are going to say. Take to experts and industry leaders to solicit other opinions and multiple perspectives. Writing things down is critical and can be a true lifesaver. There is no way you are going to remember everything. References, ideas, quotations and arguments have to put into words and structure in order for you to meaningfully share them with others. Look anywhere and everywhere in search of topical and relevant materials. A theologian by training and profession, Prof. Arthur S. Hoyt, shares his opinions on this with us: “By all means do your own thinking. Fix your thought upon the text and subject, and try to penetrate to its vital meaning. Find the message for your own soul in it. Believe in the spirit of truth and learn to trust your own judgment as enlightened by His influence. Do not go at once to commentaries and homiletic handbooks for material, but let your own thought grow by thinking. Take stock of your own mental and spiritual resources. Be thoroughly yourself and find your own voice, for in this way only will you have that personal and individual flavor which makes the charm of true preaching.” This also applies equally to other and all forms of public speaking. 2.Arranging Material: will ask the synergizing of all the gathered information. You will have to use your sound judgment in selecting and putting it together skillfully. Objectifying it and putting it into a certain order will all matter in order to present and share it meaningfully to/with others. You might have to rewrite things and get it to make logical sense. Remember that you are NOT writing and essay. This is a ‘speech’ to be delivered verbally and orally. Keep it simple, keep it structured and in a logical sequence, to the point, ,so that it is coherent and makes sense. Vivid choice of words and phrases to sound convincing will be required, You might have to repeat things often to make and underscore a point or argument, remind yourself of that constantly. Creatively restating, paraphrasing etc. are essential skills to master. Read the speech out loud to yourself as you go along. It will help you make sense of it better. You will be able to judge if it really sound right. If you catch it now and early, you will save yourself lots of embarrassment down the line. 3. Briefing: refers to an industry term that has to do with , the planning, structure and order of the speech, as it will be unfolding. It is the planned speech, laid out and structured. Typically it can be divided up into: The Introduction. The Brief Proper. The Conclusion. It is like a brief overview or outline to use throughout, so that the entire plan can be readily understood by another. 4. Committing it to memory… memorizing the speech/content Try from the start to commit the speech to memory. It will boost your self-confidence and calm any fears and uncertainty, anxiety and nerves that you feel you might have. You can use your outline, cue cards with sub-heading and main keywords and thought on it as little reminders to help you out. How much memorized effort are you willing to invest to make this effort successful? You do not want to seem rehearsed, be in the moment and be real. Let the events unfold but do not try to wing it, going at it unprepared. You will find memorizing your speech enlightening, necessary and to your own benefit. NOT DOING SO, to your own detriment! Practice your speech aloud as much as you can and as often as you can .Use a mirror, practice your gestures and hand-movements and if you can where you will be delivering it. A successful speaker once said: “They talk of my astonishing bursts of eloquence, and doubtless imagine it is my genius bubbling over. It is nothing of the sort. I will tell you how I do it. I select a subject and study it from the ground up. “When I have mastered it fully, I write a speech on it. Then I take a walk and come back, and revise and correct. In a few days, I subject it to another pruning, and then recopy it. Next, I add the final changes, round it off with graceful periods, and commit it to memory. Then I speak it in the fields, on my father’s lawn, and before my mirror, until gesture and delivery are perfect. It some-times takes me six weeks or two months to get up a speech. When I am prepared, I come to town. I generally select a court day, when there is sure to be a crowd. I am called on for a speech, and am permitted to select my own subject. I speak my piece. It astonishes the people, as I intended it should, and they go away marveling at my power of oratory. They call it genius, but it is the hardest kind of work.” Stages of speech - divisions, structure and sections of the speech delivery (Introduction, Discussion, Statement of facts, conclusion and Ending) We have already established that a speech typically consists of: The Introduction The Discussion, or Statement of Facts The Conclusion, or Peroration. |
