1. What is informative speech?

Informative speeches are used by speakers to generally inform their audience.
However, it is difficult not to incorporate persuasion in an informative speech hence it takes
skill to inform a crowd. These speeches are often used to update on specific subjects without
taking bias. Informative speeches spare no information when delivering taking both
advantageous and disadvantageous sides in the topic being discussed.

2. What is persuasive speech?

Persuasive speech, unlike informative speech, spares the audience the choice of
knowing all information but instead drives them to one side only. Persuasive speech aims for
the audience to make a choice or to lure them into making up their mind for something being
debated over. For example, in times of elections, instead of informative speeches,
persuasive speeches are used by politicians in order to call for their votes; sparing the
audience from all the facts that may not be beneficial for their careers.

3. What is an entertaining speech?

Entertaining speech may be informative or persuasive and it can even be both. The main
difference for entertaining speeches are how they are delivered; they can be incorporated as
a more light hearted speech without losing it’s meaning. Entertainment speeches can
persuade the audience to take sides or it can inform the audience for both sides but it’ll do
so in a manner that captivates the audience through jokes, sarcasm or satire comments in
order to keep the attention of the viewer but not lose their grip on the message they want the
people to take home.
