These are speeches about objects or people, processes, events, concepts. The primary purpose of this type of speech is to inform and provide knowledge to the listeners. The lectures of your teachers are the best examples of this type. Type of Speech According to Purpose: Entertainment speech aims to share goodwill, joy, and pleasure to the audience. The primary goal is to make the audience relax, enjoy, and even laugh. This means that you, the speaker, are expected to be friendly and relaxed, but still courteous during the speech delivery. Moreover, you should know your audience well in order to entertain them effectively. The humorous speeches of comedians and performers are the best example of this type.  Type of Speech According to Purpose: Persuasive speech is the form of communication that people of diverse backgrounds mostly engage in. This kind of speech can center on any arguably interesting topic under the sun. When you deliver your persuasive speech, your primary goal is to influence the thoughts, feelings, actions, and behaviors or attitudes of your listeners (Gamble & Gamble, 2012). Likewise, you also aim to change their perception and convince them that your argument is more important, practical, attainable, or feasible. In essence, you—as a persuasive speaker— advocate for whatever your message is. The campaign speeches of the running candidates for government posts are the best examples of this type. Activity 1: Compare and Contrast TYPES OF SPEECH PURPOSE EXAMPLE INFORMATIVE \ ENTERTAINMENT PERSUASIVE  Type of Speech According to Delivery: Manuscript speech is writing and delivering a speech word for word. You read or glance upon your manuscript or a copy of your speech while delivering it. This method most advantageous to Public figures. Since public figures are always constrained by a hectic schedule, they need ghost writers. Consequently, they would have to read the text of the speech as it is. Example: President’s State or the Nation (SONA)  Type of Speech According to Delivery: Memorized speech requires you to commit the speech to memory so that you do not bring your notes when delivering it. As with the manuscript speech, you also run the risk of sounding mechanical during a memorized delivery. For this reason, keep your memorized speech short and work harder on your facial expressions and the tone of your voice. A memorized speech works best for the introduction of a guest, acceptance of award or recognition, toast, eulogy, tribute, and the like.  Type of Speech According to Delivery: Impromptu speech is delivered with little or no time for preparation. In most instances, you are called to speak at the spur of the moment because you are expected to be knowledgeable about the subject. Example: when you are campaigning for a position in school and you are asked by your fellow students to respond to their questions.  Type of Speech According to Delivery: Extemporaneous speech is a planned and prepared speech. Unlike memorized or manuscript speeches which are delivered word-for-word, an extemporaneous speech is delivered with the help of short notes and a clear outline. Most people who speak in public often prefer the extemporaneous method of delivery. Although it might look more challenging than the manuscript or memorized speeches, it is more spontaneous and personal. Activity 2: Compare and Contrast TYPES OF SPEECH ADVANTAGE/S DISADVANTAGE/S Manuscript \ Memorized Impromptu Extemporaneous  Oral Recitation ! iNSTRUCTIONS: Identify the type of speech given in each example below.
