The Speech of Introduction
• Introductions speeches are usually brief and always prepared.
• If you know the person you're introducing, it certainly makes it easier to prepare
your remarks. Just be mindful of the context of both your relationship to the
speaker and the context of the event itself. Don't be casual when it's a formal
event.
• If you don't know the speaker, you may conduct some research to get a basic
understanding of their life and work relevant to the subject about which they're
speaking. You may be able to contact them for a copy of their professional
biography or their curriculum vitae (CV) to help you prepare.

The Speech of Presentation or Acceptance
• If you've been nominated or won a particular award or honor, always prepare an
acceptance speech so you don't fumble your words once on stage.
• In an acceptance speech, always thank the award-giver, be they an individual or
an organization. Don't forget to thank anyone who helped you achieve your honor,
either.
• Speeches of presentation introduce the award itself, tell a little about its history
and meaning, and introduce and name the actual awardee.

The Speech to Secure Goodwill
• Goodwill speeches are both informative and persuasive. You seek to persuade
your audience to consider favorably you and who or what you represent.
• Goodwill speeches highlight shared values, customs, beliefs and morals.
• Goodwill speeches do not make assumptions or judgments about their audience
and do not intimidate, embarrass, or offend them.
• One of the best examples of a goodwill speech is President Kennedy's "Ich bin
ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner) speech in 1963.

The Commemorative Speech: Dedications and Eulogies
• Dedications may honor an individual, a group of individuals, or a specific event.
• Eulogies honor a specific deceased person, celebrating the life he lived rather
than mulling on the manner or circumstances of their death.
• It is entirely acceptable for speech givers to become emotional when delivering
these types of speeches (especially eulogies) as they can evoke strong emotions
with both speaker and audience.

The Eulogy

The Inspirational Speech
• Inspirational speakers are often characterized as warm, encouraging and able to
connect and engage almost instantly with their audiences.
• Inspirational speeches elicit strong emotional responses from their audiences.
• Not all inspirational speeches must be geared toward positive or happy
messages; many times, these speeches are often used in "rally the troops"
situations.

"They may take our lives, but they'll never take
our freedom!"

Other Speeches: Farewells, Toasts, and After-Dinner Remarks
• Farewells, toasts, and after dinner remarks typically require much less preparation
than formal speeches.
• Farewells, toasts, and after dinner remarks often use humor and anecdote to
entertain a crowd and/or celebrate a guest or guests of honor.
• It's okay to poke fun at the guest of honor, but the goal is to entertain, not
humiliate.
• Brevity is an artform and a gift when it comes to informal speeches like these.

Before Sally Field accepted the 1985 Best Actress Academy
Award for her role in the movie “Places in the Heart,” actor
Richard Dreyfuss read off the list of nominees, summarizing the
past roles and accomplishments of each actress. Once he had
finished, he elaborately shook out his jacket sleeves, opened the
envelope, laughed, and jokingly said, I’m not gonna say. Then, he
paused before shouting out, And the winner is Sally Fields! When
Fields took to the stage, she made an emotional speech that
ended with the now-famous words, You like me! Right now, you
like me! (often misquoted as “You like me! You really like me!”).
What three types of entertaining speeches are represented in the
passage you just read?
A) A motivational speech, a toast, and a roast

B) A goodwill speech, a justification, and a commencement

Get yours at www.boundless.com www.boundless.com/communications
  • 3. Special Occasions > Special Occasion Speeches The Speech of Introduction • Introductions speeches are usually brief and always prepared. • If you know the person you're introducing, it certainly makes it easier to prepare your remarks. Just be mindful of the context of both your relationship to the speaker and the context of the event itself. Don't be casual when it's a formal event. • If you don't know the speaker, you may conduct some research to get a basic understanding of their life and work relevant to the subject about which they're speaking. You may be able to contact them for a copy of their professional biography or their curriculum vitae (CV) to help you prepare. Speech of Introduction View on Boundless.com Free to share, print, make copies and changes.

  • 4. Special Occasions > Special Occasion Speeches The Speech of Presentation or Acceptance • If you've been nominated or won a particular award or honor, always prepare an acceptance speech so you don't fumble your words once on stage. • In an acceptance speech, always thank the award-giver, be they an individual or an organization. Don't forget to thank anyone who helped you achieve your honor, either. • Speeches of presentation introduce the award itself, tell a little about its history and meaning, and introduce and name the actual awardee.

  • 5. Special Occasions > Special Occasion Speeches The Speech to Secure Goodwill • Goodwill speeches are both informative and persuasive. You seek to persuade your audience to consider favorably you and who or what you represent. • Goodwill speeches highlight shared values, customs, beliefs and morals. • Goodwill speeches do not make assumptions or judgments about their audience and do not intimidate, embarrass, or offend them. • One of the best examples of a goodwill speech is President Kennedy's "Ich bin ein Berliner" (I am a Berliner) speech in 1963.

  • 6. Special Occasions > Special Occasion Speeches The Commemorative Speech: Dedications and Eulogies • Dedications may honor an individual, a group of individuals, or a specific event. • Eulogies honor a specific deceased person, celebrating the life he lived rather than mulling on the manner or circumstances of their death. • It is entirely acceptable for speech givers to become emotional when delivering these types of speeches (especially eulogies) as they can evoke strong emotions with both speaker and audience.

  • 7. Special Occasions > Special Occasion Speeches The Inspirational Speech • Inspirational speakers are often characterized as warm, encouraging and able to connect and engage almost instantly with their audiences. • Inspirational speeches elicit strong emotional responses from their audiences. • Not all inspirational speeches must be geared toward positive or happy messages; many times, these speeches are often used in "rally the troops" situations. "They may take our lives, but they'll never take our freedom!" View on Boundless.com Free to share, print, make copies and changes.

  • 8. Special Occasions > Special Occasion Speeches Other Speeches: Farewells, Toasts, and After-Dinner Remarks • Farewells, toasts, and after dinner remarks typically require much less preparation than formal speeches. • Farewells, toasts, and after dinner remarks often use humor and anecdote to entertain a crowd and/or celebrate a guest or guests of honor. • It's okay to poke fun at the guest of honor, but the goal is to entertain, not humiliate. • Brevity is an artform and a gift when it comes to informal speeches like these.
