Question 2 • Speech I - B

In which of the following scenarios are delivery and noise most likely the primary concerns of the speaker?

Answer

Sheree has been asked to speak about social security to a mixed group of college students, business people, and senior citizens.

Erin is giving a motivational speech to a very large group of high school students seated on bleachers in the school’s gymnasium.

Charles has been invited to Mrs. Delaney’s classroom to speak to her elementary school children about fire safety.

Ethan is giving a highly technical presentation on biomedical engineering involving several working models, computerized graphs, and video clips to a group of doctors, scientists, and engineers.

Explanation

Delivery and noise are especially important when speaking to a very large audience in a space with challenging acoustics. Erin’s audience is large and seated on bleachers in a gymnasium, where sound may echo and listeners may be far away. Therefore, the primary concerns are projecting her voice and delivering the speech effectively in that noisy setting.
