Study Notes
Oral Communication - Distinguishing Speech Types and Style
- Speeches are categorized by purpose (inform, entertain, persuade) and delivery method (impromptu, extemporaneous, manuscript, memorized).
- Informative speeches focus on providing knowledge about objects, people, processes, events, or concepts. Teacher lectures are a prime example.
- Entertainment speeches aim to share goodwill, joy, and pleasure by relaxing, engaging, and even making the audience laugh. Comedian performances exemplify this type.
- Persuasive speeches strive to influence listener thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors. Political campaign speeches often fall into this category.
Types of Speech - Delivery Methods
- Manuscript speech involves reading a written speech word-for-word. This is common for public figures due to schedule constraints. Examples include the President's State of the Union Address.
- Memorized speech requires committing the speech to memory. This method works well for brief introductions, toasts, eulogies, and awards.
- Impromptu speech involves little or no preparation. Speakers are often called upon to share knowledge immediately. Examples include campaigning for a school position or responding to questions.
- Extemporaneous speech is planned and prepared with short notes and a clear outline. The delivery style tends to be spontaneous and engaging.
