What is a manuscript speech?

- It is when a speaker writes down everything they plan to

say to their listeners, then bring their manuscripts to the podium and read them to the

audience.

-It is when a speaker reads a pre-written speech word

by word to an audience-It is generally employed during official meetings,

conferences, COMMENCEMENT EXERCISES etc.

ADVANTAGES:• Precision in the text or the

speech helps catch the focus of the audience.

• It proves very effective when you have to put forth an important

point in less time.• Concise and accurate information is conveyed,

especially when talking about contentious issues.

DISADVANTAGES:• If you are not clear in your speech

and cannot read out well, it may not attract any attention of the audience.

• A manuscript speech can become boring if read out plainly, without any effort of non-verbal communication with the audience.
