Delivery
Definition
Delivery refers to the way in which oral presentations are presented to an audience. It includes aspects such as tone of voice, body language, gestures, eye contact, pacing, and overall presentation style.
Analogy
Think of delivery as performing on stage. Just like how actors use their voice modulation and body movements to captivate an audience during a play or musical performance, effective delivery in public speaking engages and connects with the listeners.
