4 BASIC TYPES OF

SPEECHES
 What is SPEECH?

 The faculty or power of speaking; oral communication; ability to

express one's thoughts and emotions by speech sounds and gesture.

 Speech helps students develop their understanding and appreciation

of the human communication process and enhances their oral and
written communication practice. Speech Communication students
develop an awareness of the importance of oral communication and
listening for success in their personal, civic, and professional lives.
 Informative Speech
 This speech serves to provide interesting and useful information to
your audience.
 Informative speech usually begins with a favorable attention in order to
catch the interest of the listeners. It will be then followed by the
classification step which will inform or clarify the listeners regarding the
subject matter.
 The purpose of the informative speech is to impart knowledge, clarify
information as well as to secure understanding.

difference lies in including a demonstration of how to do the thing
you’re teaching.

 Persuasive Speech
 A speech that works to convince people to change in some way: the way they
think, the way they do something, or to start doing something that they are
not currently doing.
  The speech is arranged in such a way as to hopefully cause the audience to
accept all or part of the expressed view. Though the overarching goal of a
persuasive speech is to convince the audience to accept a perspective, not all
audiences can be convinced by a single speech and not all perspectives can
persuade the audience. The success of a persuasive speech is often
measured by the audience’s willingness to consider the speaker’s argument.

on

2. Know your goal

3. Understand your audience

 It is important to understand your audience and their views and knowledge
about the topic

 Entertaining Speech
 A speech designed to captivate an audience’s attention and regale or amuse them
while delivering a message.
  Entertaining speeches are often delivered on special occasions (e.g., a toast at a
wedding, an acceptance speech at an awards banquet, a motivational speech at a
conference), which is why they are sometimes referred to as special-occasion
speeches.
 However, they can also be given on more mundane occasions, where their purpose
is primarily to amuse audience members or arouse them emotionally in some way.
Remember, when we use the word “entertain,” we are referring not just to humor but
also to drama.
 The goal of an entertaining speech is to stir an audience’s emotions.
