This document discusses different types of speeches: exploratory/informative speeches which provide information to help audiences understand a topic; persuasive speeches which aim to change listeners' opinions by convincing them of the speaker's position; and entertainment speeches which make audiences feel lighthearted by humorously examining familiar things in new ways. It also discusses different speech delivery methods: reading from a manuscript; memorized speeches; impromptu speeches with little preparation; and extemporaneous speeches using brief notes.

2. 1. Exploratory or Informative
Speech
2. Persuasive Speech
3. Entertainment Speech

3.  The purpose of an exploratory or informative speech
is to provide information history, theories, practical
applications, etc., that can and will help the listeners
understand something that is unknown to them or
already known to them but not yet clearly understood.
A speech of this nature is meant to help the listeners
understand a topic in a more in-depth manner by
providing the following in an organized way; new
data, data that are not readily available to everyone,
or data already known by the audience but looked at
in a different way.

4.  It must have a message prepared at the
level of knowledge of the speaker.
 It must be tailored to fit the level of
knowledge of the Audience.
 It has to take into account the age,
gender, social status, religion and cultural
affiliation of the Listeners.

5.  This is a speech whose goal is to change the
Listener’s opinion, attitude, or belief regarding a
certain topic (usual controversial) by providing
materials that can or will help convince the Listeners.
 It is meant to convince the listeners why the
speaker’s side of the equation is more beneficial. The
speaker’s assertion must be supported by historical
data in the form of statistical results and experts’
testimonies as well as comparison and contrast
between the speaker’s side and the listeners’ side of
the equation.

6.  Entertainment speech is not a comedy sketch, the purpose
is not only to tell a series of jokes. Neither is it the purpose
of the speaker to have the audience laughing throughout the
speech. To make the listeners smile or feel lighthearted after
the speech is enough.
 It must lead the audience into looking at something familiar
in a totally different and completely humorous light by
providing comparisons and contrasts, especially with the
strange or unusual; highlighting the quirks of important
personages such as officials, celebrities, actors and athletes
and applying them to regular people like the listeners; or
assigning human characteristics to inanimate objects.

7. 1. Reading or Speaking from a
Manuscript
2. Memorized Speech
3. Impromptu Speech
4. Extemporaneous Speech

8.  It is usually used in the formal speech context.
The speech is fully written out, usually typed,
and not folded but placed in a folder for
neatness. This manner of delivery allows for
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.

9.  It is also a speech that is fully written out
like the speech that is read from the
manuscript. This time, however, the
written speech is fully memorized – every
word, every phrase, every comma and
period. Oratorical contest requires the
contestant to memorize their speech
thoroughly.

10.  It is one is suddenly asked to give the welcome
remarks in a program already ongoing and there
is hardly time to prepare.
 It is delivered on short notice with little or no
preparation. That is why it is sometimes called
“thinking on your feet”. The speech is a not really
made on the spot because one usually speaks or
is asked to speak about something one already
knows.

11.  Using extemporaneous delivery may bring
one or two note cards so they do not
forget some data such as specific
concepts, complicated statistics, or an
important quotation. But definitely, these
outlines are not manuscripts in which the
speech is fully written.
