    A manuscript speech is one where the speaker reads from a pre-written script verbatim to an audience. While it allows for precise delivery of information, it can lack the natural flow and engagement of extemporaneous speaking if not delivered effectively. Examples include addresses to governments or reports to shareholders. Preparing the text with the audience in mind and practicing delivery can help make a manuscript speech more appealing.

    MANUSCRIPT SPEECH

    Manuscript Speech
     A speech where a speaker reads a pre-written speech word by word to an audience. It is
    when an already prepared script is read verbatim. The speaker makes the entire speech by
    referring to the printed document. It is basically an easy method of oral communication.
     There can be various occasions where this style of speech is used. It depends on the
    context of the address, the purpose of communication, the target audience, and the
    intended impact of the speech. Even if it is understood to be a verbatim, manuscript
    speaking requires immense effort on the part of the speaker. Precision in the delivery
    comes not just with exact reading of the text, but with a complete understanding of the
    content, and the aim of the talk.
     While preparing the manuscript, consider who your audience is, so as to make it effectual.

     EXAMPLES OF MANUSCRIPT SPEECH


     A speech given by a Congressman on a legislative bill under consideration.
     A report read out by a Chief Engineer at an Annual General Meeting.
     A President's or Prime Minister's address to the Parliament of a foreign nation.
     A televised news report (given using a teleprompter) seen on television.
     A speech given at a wedding by a best man, or during a funeral.
     A religious proclamation issued by any religious leader.
     A speech in honor of a well-known and revered person.

     ADVANTAGES AND DISADVANTAGES


     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.
    ✘ As compared to a direct speech, in a manuscript that is read, the natural flow of the speaker
    is lost. So is the relaxed, enthusiastic, interactive, and expressive tone of the speech lost.
    ✘ A manuscript speech can become boring if read out plainly, without any effort of non-verbal
    communication with the audience.

     TIPS FOR AN APPEALING MANUSCRIPT SPEECH


    ❶ Use a light pastel paper in place of white paper to lessen the glare from lights.
    ❷ Make sure that the printed or written speech is in a bigger font size than normal, so that
    you can comfortably see what you are reading, which would naturally keep you calm.
    ❸ Mark the pauses in your speech with a slash, and highlight the important points.
    ❹ You can even increase the spacing between words for easier reading (by double or triple
    spacing the text).
    ❺ Highlight in bold the first word of a new section or first sentence of a paragraph to help you
    find the correct line faster.
    ❻ Don't try to memorize the text, highlights, or the pauses. Let it come in the flow of things.
    ❼ Practice reading it out aloud several times, or as many times as you can.
    ❽ Try keeping a smile on your face while reading.
    ❾ Keep in mind that a manuscript speech does not mean 'mere reading out'. Maintaining
    frequent eye contact with the audience helps involving them into the subject matter.
