The three main types of speeches are informative speeches, persuasive speeches, and special occasion speeches. Informative speeches educate the audience on a topic, concept, process, event, or object. Persuasive speeches try to change the audience's viewpoints or beliefs and are the most difficult to deliver. Special occasion speeches are delivered at events like birthdays, graduations, weddings, and funerals.
