INSIGHTS ON

PUBLIC
SPEAKING
By: Sasuman & Romualdo
 According to Stephen Lucas (2011), author
of The Art of Public Speaking, a good
delivery means that you are capable and
able to present your message in a clear,
coherent, and interesting way. In addition
to this, he also says:

“Good delivery…. Conveys the speaker’s

ideas clearly, interesting, and without
distracting the audience. Most audiences
prefer delivery that combines a certain
degree of formality with the best attributes
of good conversation --- directness,
spontaneity, animation, vocal and facial
expressiveness, and a lively sense of
communication”.
 Asa student of public speaking, you
should know that public speaking is
not simply reading your speech or
talking about your topic. It requires
making connections with your
audience and presenting yourself
formally to the public. There are
types of speeches according to
purpose and delivery from which you
can choose the best one or the most
appropriate in a given situation.
TYPES OF
SPEECH
ACCORDING
TO PURPOSE
1. Informative Speech
-Provides the audience
with a clear
understanding of a concept
or idea. The lectures of
your teachers are the best
examples of this type.
Ex.
TV News
2. Entertainment Speech
-amuses the audience. The
humorous speeches of
comedians and performers
are the best examples of
this type.
Ex.
Comedy Bar, TV Shows and
Talk Shows.
3. Persuasive Speech
-seeks to provide the audience
with favourable or acceptable
ideas that can influence their own
ideas and decisions. The
campaign speeches of the running
candidates for government posts
are the best examples of this type.
Ex.
Declamation and Political Speech.
