3. Think about these.
Have you ever joined a crowd of listeners
as a salesman was talking and endorsing a
product? Have you ever been convinced to go
to a certain place after watching a
documentary about it? Have you ever
watched the news of the president’s SONA as
he pinpointed the state of the economy? What
was your reaction? Have you ever listened to
an environmentalist urging people to take care
of the environment? Was he/she successful in
arousing your concern for the environment?

4. Informative Speech
It shares interesting and useful
information on a topic. It aims to
educate, create understanding or
enlighten rather than to persuade. This
type of speech uses descriptions,
demonstrations, vivid details and
definitions to explain a topic.
5. “Examples:
- a TV host telling the audience a
trivia about lions
- the president telling the citizens
about the progress of the
economy
- a professor lecturing about types
of speech
- a biologist speaking about newly
discovered species

7. 1. Define
It helps the audience to have a clearer understanding of the
term or concept by defining or clarifying it.

2. Report
It may help the audience to answer a question like, “What
happened?” and explain, for example, a complex event by
identifying each of its components such as the place where
the event happened, the people involved and why it
happened.
3. Describe
Describing involves painting a picture of a concept or idea in
the mind of the audience. This can be done through the vivid
or detailed description of a concept or idea to arouse
audience’s interest.
8. 8
4. Explain
When explaining a concept or idea, an informative speech
goes beyond definitions.
5. Demonstrate
There are times when explaining a process is not
enough. Sometimes it is necessary for the audience to
see the process being done or participate in the
process. In this situation, the speaker needs to
demonstrate the procedure or perform the steps in a
particular order to better describe the topic to the
audience.
10. Persuasive Speech
It aims to persuade or convince the
listeners on the validity of the speaker’s
argument, position, belief or even
proposal. It may attempt to persuade
someone to change opinion or do an
action.
11. “Examples:
- a doctor asking a person to
donate blood
- a soldier convincing his captain
to revise their strategy
- a student asking his classmate to
lend him a copy of a book
- a rallying crowd convincing the
president to lower the tax rate

What are the types of persuasive speech?
Speech to convince
This aims to convince your audience to agree with your
position on a particular topic or to form a new belief or
change from a previous belief.
Speech to actuate
This type does not just aim to get your audience to agree
with you, but also to spur them to take specific action. In
using this, you either want your audience to continue or
discontinue a certain behavior.
14. Entertainment Speech
As the name suggests, an entertainment
speech simply intends to entertain. It
hopes to make people happy. It can
make you smile, or give you a positive
spirit, or it could simply put you at ease.
In addition, it intends to amuse the
audience or arouse their emotions.
15. “Examples:
- The bride talking about her funny
moments in the past with her husband
during their wedding speech
- A traveller telling stories about the
taste of exotic food to the people living
in urban areas
- A teacher telling stories of is childhood
to the students during breaktime
- A very well-known chef talking to food
bloggers during dinner about the
challenges and struggles he had to
face to be able o reach his current
status
15
17. 17
Support your speech with the following:
a. Facts - These are powerful means of
convincing.
b. Statistics - It can provide excellent
support.
c. Quotes - Direct quotes from leading
experts that support your position
are invaluable.
d. Examples - These enhance
meanings and make ideas concrete.
These serve as evidence of what
you are trying to communicate.
19. Delivering a speech is part of
people’s daily undertaking, although
others may not be aware that they are
already in a given situation. It is only
when a formal situation is created that
we become conscious of what to say,
when to say it and how we are supposed
to say it.

1. Manuscript delivery
The speech is written and is expected to
be read. This manner of delivery allows
greater control of the wording of the
speech when precise wording is
paramount. This is also useful when you
have embellished your thoughts and you
want to deliver your sentences exactly
as you wrote them.
22. 2. Memorized speech
This method of delivering a speech
involves writing down the text of the
speech and then memorizing it. The
speaker is expected to rehearse the
speech many times over to be able to
deliver it without any script and to make
it sound more natural.

24. 24
3. Extemporaneous speech
The ideas that the speaker will be using
is given ahead. It is in the actual delivery,
however, that the speech will be actually
crafted. Although there is no
memorization involved, the speaker
relies on an outline of the speech as a
guide as he/she delivers it
extemporaneously.
26. 26
4. Impromptu speech
This is spur-of-the-moment speech that
does not give the speaker ample
opportunity to prepare for the talk. It
involves speaking off the top of your
head without any preparation and relying
on your stock knowledge. Thinking time
is very limited. It is delivered on short
notice with little or no preparation.
28. 28
When you speak publicly, you have the
power to influence others. The
information you possess empowers
people but even more empowering is the
opportunity to present such information.
As a speaker, you get the chance to
choose the kind of influence you will
have on your audience. You choose the
kind of influence you will have on your
audience.
