Then, you outline and draft your informative speech based on the topic, key points, and details and information you want to give about your topic. 8 Types of Informative Speech Definition Descriptive Explanatory Demonstrative 9 Definition Speech A definition speech explains the meaning, theory, or philosophy of a specific topic that the audience likely does not know much about. The topics may be general, such as a sport, or highly specific, like a particular person. The main goal of this speech is to educate the audience so that they understand the main points regarding this subject 10 Demonstration Speech A demonstration speech explains how to do something. Like most informative speeches, a how-to speech will likely use visual examples that show the audience how to move from step to step through a particular activity. Visualizations help the audience retain what each step looks like, increasing the likelihood that they will retain the overall information of the speech. 11 Explanatory Speech An explanatory speech might give a description of the state of a given topic. The goal of these speeches is for the speaker to inform the audience on a particular part of an industry. Commonly, these will also utilize visualizations that give the audience a visual representation of the particular data or statistics contained in the speech. 12 Descriptive Speech A descriptive speech creates a vivid picture in a person's mind regarding an object, person, animal, or place. An archaeologist who has discovered a new temple in South America or a paleontologist who believes they have found a new dinosaur may use a descriptive speech to inform an interested audience about their recent discoveries. 13 There are many ways that a given set of information can be communicated in a speech. When deciding what type of informative speech you want to write and deliver, consider what you want the audience to know about your topic 14 Examples of Informative Speech 1. College professor lecturing on a specific topic during a class 2. Guest speaker presenting information to a group of students about how to apply for college 3. Company president presenting information about last quarter's sales to a group of board members 15 Persuasive Speech 16 Persuasive Speech ▹ A persuasive speech is given for the purpose of persuading the audience to feel a certain way, to take a certain action, or to support a specific view or cause. 17 Persuasive Speech ▹ To write a persuasive speech, you choose a topic about which people disagree or can have differing opinions. ▹ It is often helpful to also discuss why the "other side" is incorrect in their beliefs about the topic. 18 Examples of Persuasive Speech ▹ A teenager attempting to convince her parents that she needs to be able to stay out until 11pm instead of 10pm ▹ A student council president trying to convince school administrators to allow the students to have a dance after the final football game of the season ▹ A lawyer giving a closing argument in court, arguing about whether the defendant is innocent or guilty of the crime 19 Inspirational Speech Inspirational Speech Inspirational Speech is a kind of speech that convinces people they can succeed in life.
