performance / appearance
'der Auftritt' and 'die Delivery' can both have to do with a person's effect on an audience. 'der Auftritt' means the whole performance, or also the way someone appears in public. 'die Delivery' is a modern Anglicism and refers more to the style of presentation: voice, pace, emphasis, and impact when speaking or performing.
