5. Different Types of Speeches
according to Purpose
The four basic types of
speech according to purpose are: to inform,
to instruct, to entertain, and to persuade.
These are not mutually exclusive of one
another. You may have several purposes in
mind when giving your presentation.
However, the principle purpose of a
speech will generally fall into one of four
basic types:

demonstrative speech also

difference lies in including a
demonstration of how to do the
thing you’re teaching.

19. Different Types of Speeches
according to Delivery
The easiest approach to speech
delivery is not always the best.
Substantial work goes into the careful
preparation of an interesting and
ethical message, so it is understandable
that students may have the impulse to
avoid “messing it up” by simply
reading it word for word.

20. 1. IMPROMPTU
SPEAKING
It is the presentation of a
short message without advance
preparation. Impromptu
speeches often occur when
someone is asked to “say a few
words” or give a toast on a
special occasion.

The disadvantage is that the
speaker is given little or no time

As a result, the message may
be disorganized and difficult for
listeners to follow.

25. 2. EXTEMPORANEOUS
SPEAKING
By using notes rather than a
full manuscript, the
extemporaneous speaker can
establish and maintain eye contact
with the audience and assess how
well they are understanding the
speech as it progresses.

The disadvantage of
extemporaneous speaking is that it
requires a great deal of preparation

speech. Adequate preparation
cannot be achieved the day before
you’re scheduled to speak.

MANUSCRIPT

word-for-word iteration of a

manuscript speech, the speaker
maintains his or her attention
on the printed page except when
using visual aids.

SPEAKING
Ceremonial speeches are
speeches given during a ceremony
or a ritual marked by observance of
formality or etiquette. These
ceremonies tend to be very special
for people, so it shouldn’t be

opportunities for speech making.
