oratorically

In speechmaking fashion

Oratorically means in the manner of formal public speaking or rhetoric.

Someone who speaks oratorically employs the techniques of eloquent address—measured pacing, emphatic gestures, and elevated language designed to persuade or move an audience.

He delivered the eulogy oratorically, with dramatic pauses and sweeping hand movements.

The word often carries a hint of theatricality or even excess, suggesting speech that might be more polished than natural.
