    Study Notes

    Types of Speeches

    • Informative speeches aim to educate the audience using facts and evidence. They avoid opinions or taking a position on the topic. The focus is on objects, events, processes, concepts, and examples.
    • Persuasive speeches aim to convince the audience to adopt a specific viewpoint, opinion, or idea. They often use facts, values, and policies to support their arguments, and might incorporate ethos (ethical), logos (logical), or pathos (emotional) appeals.
    • Entertaining speeches aim to captivate the audience and amuse them while delivering a message. They often use humor or drama, and are typically delivered on special occasions like toasts or motivational speeches.

    Speech Delivery Methods

    • Reading from a manuscript: The speaker reads a written script word-for-word; suitable for situations requiring accuracy and precise wording. Recommendations for delivery include practicing, using large print, and maintaining eye contact.
    • Memorized speech: The speaker delivers the speech without notes, relying on memory. Advantages include freedom of movement and eye contact; disadvantages include risk of forgetting or sounding monotonous. This method is best for professional or competitive speakers who have practiced extensively.
    • Impromptu speech: A speech delivered with little or no preparation, often spur-of-the-moment. Strategies include structuring the speech with introduction, body, and conclusion, focusing on concise and clear language, and using controlled pacing.
    • Extemporaneous speech: A prepared speech delivered without memorizing it, using an outline or notes to guide delivery. Strategies include preparation with research, outline, and practice; using nonverbal communication and pauses for emphasis.

    Speech Writing Principles

    • Choosing a topic: Consider the audience (who), purpose (why), location (where), and time constraints (when).
    • Analyzing the audience: Understanding the audience's knowledge, expectations, and diversity is crucial for adapting the speech. Factors to consider include expectations, knowledge, size, diversity, concerns, and interests.
    • Sourcing information: Select credible sources (books, journals, reports, news, databases) and tailor information to the audience's level of knowledge. Consider credibility, goals of the speech, and audience's knowledge level.
    • Outlining and organizing speech content: Use a logical structure (chronological, spatial, logical) to ensure coherence and clarity. Consider preparation outlines (detailed, comprehensive), and speaking outlines (concise, phrases) for structure.
