SPEECH
COMMUNICATION
PROCESS: List of 7
Public Speaking
Elements
Speaker
The speech communication process
starts with the speaker – the person
who initiated the conversation or talk.
The success of the talk will be based
on the credibility, preparation, and
knowledge of the speaker about the
topic.
●
Message
The message refers to whatever the
speaker is telling the audience about a
certain topic. Speakers should deliver it
in a clear way for it to reach the
listeners in the same way the speaker
is trying to convey it.
●
Channel
The channel refers to the thing that
makes
the
communication
or
conversation possible. If you are
talking over the phone, the phone is
the channel in the process.
●
Listener
The listener is the receiver of the
message on the other end of the line.
In private conversations, you may have
1, 2, or 3 listeners. In public speaking,
the crowd and everyone who gets to
hear your message are the listeners in
the process.
●
Feedback
The feedback refers to the response
of the listener or the receiver of the
message based on the post. It may be
verbal or non-verbal.
●
Interference
Interference is anything that affects
the communication process. It may be
internal or external. The former may
include the relationship between the
speaker and the listener while the latter
may include what’s going on around.
●
Situation
In the communication process, the
situation refers to the time and place
where the conversation happened. It is
the physical setting of the event.
●
