 Aims of an Entertainment Speech
• An entertainment speech aims to share goodwill, joy,
and pleasure to the audience. The purpose of an
entertainment speech is not to educate, inform, or
inspire because the primary goal is to make the
audience relax, enjoy, and even laugh. This means
that you, the speaker, are expected to be friendly and
relaxed, but still courteous during the speech delivery.
Moreover, you should know your audience well in
order to entertain them effectively.

Steps in Writing an Entertaining Speech
1. Choose! Choose a light topic. Remember, you are
there to give the audience a good time.
2. Enjoy! If you exude confidence and you
obviously enjoy the moment, the audience will
enjoy your presence, too.
3. Simplify! Simplify the flow of your speech. Your
audience does not need a mentally exhausting
message.
Steps in Writing an Entertaining Speech
4. Visualize! Your words should be highly descriptive.
Use vivid words and keep them flowing to make your
