Defining an Informative Speech
• This type of speech uses descriptions, demonstrations, vivid detail, and definitions
to explain a subject, person, or place the audience wants to understand.
• An informative speech makes a complex topic easy to understand or offers a
different point of view.
• Unlike persuasive speeches, an informative speech relies less on pathos and
more on communicating information.

Types of Informative Speeches
• A descriptive speech helps the speaker create an accurate mental picture in the
mind of the audience regarding a specific person, place, or thing.
• A demonstrative speech describes how to perform an action.
• A explantory speech explains the state of a topic.
• A definition speech explains a concept or theory regarding a topic.

Subjects of Informative Speeches
• When choosing a subject of an informative speech consider whether you want to
describe, explain, demonstrate or educate the audience about the topic.
• The subject of an informative speech should be one that can be communicated
clearly to an audience.
• When choosing a subject for an informative speech, consider what is the essential
information that an audience should know about that subject.

The Goals of an Informative Speech
• One of the goals of an informative speech is to enhance the understanding of the
audience.
• Another goal of an informative speech is to maintain the interest of the audience.
• A final goal of an informative speech is for the audience to remember the speech.

Scope Your Speech
• Every piece of information in a speech should relate to the speech topic, purpose,
and thesis simultaneously.
• Audiences have a hard time following or understanding speeches that are too
broad in scope (that is, speeches that include too much irrelevant or tangential
information).
• By keeping all of the information relevant as he or she develops your speech, the
speaker's job becomes easier by keeping all supporting information on point.

Scope out your specific target!

Tailor Complexity to Your Audience
• Consider the audience that will be hearing your speech.
• Tailoring the complexity of the speech to your audience means considering how
best they receive information.
• Considering how much information your audience already knows should help you
tailor the complexity of your speech.

Demonstrate the Relevance of the Topic
• You can make a topic relevant by choosing a timely topic.
• Another way to make a topic relevant is to tell the audience why they should care
about the particular subject of your speech.
• Making a topic relevant for your audience increases the likelihood that they will
remember the information contained in your speech.

Make Connections
• Make connections among your ideas so you can connect the ideas into
meaningful groups for your main points.
• Make connections between your interests and the audience interests to motivate
attention during your speech.
• Make connections with transitions to show relationships and join ideas together.
• Make connections with signpost transitions to help the audience organize ideas
by numbering the main points, such as <i>first</i>, <i>second</i>, etc.
• Make connections by using previews before main points and use internal

summaries to connect one idea to what is coming next.

Tailor Abstraction to Your Audience
• The ability to simplify experiences with a word makes it easier to communicate,
but it also makes us lose the connection to the specific meaning that we want to
convey through the abstract wording.
• When you want the audience to make a concrete connection to their direct
experience, remember to come down to earth on the the abstraction ladder. You
can move up the ladder again to talk about boarder concepts.
• Your objective when choosing words is not to avoid abstract general words
altogether, but rather to avoid using them when your audience needs more
specific,concrete connections to what you are saying.

Make It Memorable
• Use visual aids to help make your speech memorable.
• Repeat key points of your speech to make it more memorable.
• Making your speech memorable is important because it increases the likelihood
that the audience will walk away informed.

Utilize Devices to Enhance Audience Understanding
• Visual aids such as graphs, handouts, slide show presentations, and objects can
help audiences understand complicated subjects. Many people learn visually and
need information provided in this context, as well as orally, to enhance learning.
• A podium can help the presenter provide the audience with necessary information
on a topic by offering a place for the speaker to have cue cards or scripts.
• A microphone is a good way to make sure that everyone in the audience hears
the presentation properly. Wireless headsets allow the speaker to amplify the
presentation while moving about the audience or reviewing visual aids.

• A video screen is a good way to make sure the audience can see the entire
presentation in a large venue.

  • 12. Informative Speaking > Effective Informative Speaking Tailor Abstraction to Your Audience • The ability to simplify experiences with a word makes it easier to communicate, but it also makes us lose the connection to the specific meaning that we want to convey through the abstract wording. • When you want the audience to make a concrete connection to their direct experience, remember to come down to earth on the the abstraction ladder. You can move up the ladder again to talk about boarder concepts. • Your objective when choosing words is not to avoid abstract general words altogether, but rather to avoid using them when your audience needs more specific,concrete connections to what you are saying.

  • 14. Informative Speaking > Effective Informative Speaking Utilize Devices to Enhance Audience Understanding • Visual aids such as graphs, handouts, slide show presentations, and objects can help audiences understand complicated subjects. Many people learn visually and need information provided in this context, as well as orally, to enhance learning. • A podium can help the presenter provide the audience with necessary information on a topic by offering a place for the speaker to have cue cards or scripts. • A microphone is a good way to make sure that everyone in the audience hears the presentation properly.
