share goodwill, joy, and pleasure to
the audience. The purpose of an
entertainment speech is not to
educate, inform, or inspire because
the primary goal is to make the
audience relax, enjoy, and even laugh.

SPEECH
1. Choose! Choose a light topic. Remember, you are
there to give the audience a good time.
2. Enjoy! If you exude confidence and you obviously
enjoy the moment, the audience will enjoy your
presence, too.
3. Simplify! Simplify the flow of your speech. Your
audience does not need a mentally exhausting
message.

Use vivid words and keep them flowing to make your
