The document discusses different types of speeches according to purpose, delivery, and occasion. There are four main types of speeches according to purpose: informative, demonstrative, persuasive, and entertaining. Speeches can be delivered through impromptu speaking, extemporaneous speaking, speaking from a manuscript, or speaking from memory. Ceremonial speeches include speeches of introduction and speeches of presentation given during ceremonies.

5. Different Types of Speeches
according to Purpose
The four basic types of
speech according to purpose are: to inform,
to instruct, to entertain, and to persuade.
These are not mutually exclusive of one
another. You may have several purposes in
mind when giving your presentation.
However, the principle purpose of a
speech will generally fall into one of four
basic types:

9. 2. DEMONSTRATIVE
This has many similarities with
an informative speech. A
demonstrative speech also
teaches you something. The main
difference lies in including a
demonstration of how to do the
thing you’re teaching.

convince people to change in

way they do something, or to
start doing something that
they are not currently doing.

19. Different Types of Speeches
according to Delivery
The easiest approach to speech
delivery is not always the best.
Substantial work goes into the careful
preparation of an interesting and
ethical message, so it is understandable
that students may have the impulse to
avoid “messing it up” by simply
reading it word for word.

20. 1. IMPROMPTU
SPEAKING
It is the presentation of a
short message without advance
preparation. Impromptu
speeches often occur when
someone is asked to “say a few
words” or give a toast on a
special occasion.

21. 1. IMPROMPTU

kind of speaking is that it’s
spontaneous and responsive
in an animated group
context.

22. 1. IMPROMPTU
SPEAKING
The disadvantage is that the
speaker is given little or no time
to contemplate the central theme
of his or her message.
As a result, the message may
be disorganized and difficult for
listeners to follow.

24. 2. EXTEMPORANEOUS
SPEAKING
Extemporaneous speaking is
the presentation of a carefully
planned and rehearsed speech,
spoken in a conversational
manner using brief notes.

25. 2. EXTEMPORANEOUS
SPEAKING
By using notes rather than a
full manuscript, the
extemporaneous speaker can
establish and maintain eye contact
with the audience and assess how
well they are understanding the
speech as it progresses.

26. 2. EXTEMPORANEOUS
SPEAKING
Speaking extemporaneously
has some advantages. It
promotes the likelihood that
you, the speaker, will be
perceived as knowledgeable and
credible.

27. 2. EXTEMPORANEOUS
SPEAKING
In addition, your
audience is likely to pay
better attention to the
message because it is
engaging both verbally and
nonverbally.

28. 2. EXTEMPORANEOUS
SPEAKING
The disadvantage of
extemporaneous speaking is that it
requires a great deal of preparation
for both the verbal and the
nonverbal components of the
speech. Adequate preparation
cannot be achieved the day before
you’re scheduled to speak.

29. 3. SPEAKING FROM A
MANUSCRIPT
Manuscript speaking is the
word-for-word iteration of a
written message. In a
manuscript speech, the speaker
maintains his or her attention
on the printed page except when
using visual aids.

30. 3. SPEAKING FROM A
MANUSCRIPT
The advantage to reading
from a manuscript is the exact
repetition of original words. As
we mentioned at the beginning
of this chapter, in some
circumstances this can be
extremely important.

the rote recitation of a
written message that the
speaker has committed to
memory.

32. 4. SPEAKING FROM
MEMORY
When it comes to
speeches, memorization can
be useful when the message
needs to be exact and the
speaker doesn’t want to be
confined by notes.

36. CEREMONIAL
SPEAKING
Ceremonial speeches are
speeches given during a ceremony
or a ritual marked by observance of
formality or etiquette. These
ceremonies tend to be very special
for people, so it shouldn’t be
surprising that they are
opportunities for speech making.
