Types of Speeches
1. Informative Speech - An informative speech is one that intends to educate
the audience on a particular topic.
Informative Speech could describe:
Objects – these are the things that are tangible and, thus, recognized
through sight, hearing, taste, or touch; so speeches about include those
about people, places, animals, structures, etc.
Events – are happenings or occurrences, both past and present.
Concepts – are ideas, philosophies, hypotheses, and arguments, etc.
Processes – discusses how something is made or how something is done or
how something works.
2. Persuasive Speech - the speaker has a goal of convincing the audience to
accept his or her point of view. The speech is arranged in such a way as to
hopefully cause the audience to accept all or part of the expressed view.
3. Entertainment Speech (Special Occasion) – This type of speech is meant to
entertain, celebrate, commemorate, or inspire an audience. This might be a
toast, a eulogy, an introduction, or an acceptance.
4. Impromptu Speech - An impromptu speech is given with little or no
preparation, yet almost always with some advance knowledge on the topic.
When called to speak "off the cuff" on the "spur of the moment," is usually
because the speaker is quite knowledgeable about the subject. The speaker
usually does not use notes or other materials.
5. Oral Interpretation – This involves analysing a written text and sharing the
meaning with the audience (e.g you might look at a quote, song, poem, or
story and present your interpretation to the audience.
6. Motivational speeches – this seeks to inspire their listeners, and encourage
them to take action to improve their lives.
