SPEECH AND IT’S

CLASSIFICATION
What is Speech?
• the faculty or power of speaking; oral communication; ability to express one's
thoughts and emotions by speech sounds and gesture:
• the act of speaking:
• something that is spoken; an utterance, remark, or declaration:
• a form of communication in spoken language, made by a speaker before an
audience for a given purpose:
The four types of speeches
• 1.Manuscript Speech
Manuscript speaking is the word-for-word
iteration of a written message. In a manuscript
speech, the speaker maintains his or her attention on
the printed page except when using visual aids. The
advantage to reading from a manuscript is the exact
repetition of original words.
2. Memorized Speech
Memorized speaking is the rote recitation of a
written message that the speaker has committed
to memory. ... You might end up speaking in a
monotone or a sing-song repetitive delivery pattern.
You might also present your speech in a rapid
“machine-gun” style that fails to emphasize the most
important points.
3. Extemporaneous Speech
A well-prepared speech that relies on research,
clear organization, and practiced delivery, but is
neither read nor memorized. What is an
Extemporaneous Speech? The word extemporaneous
means “without planning” and is considered a
synonym for the word impromptu.
4. Impromptu Speech
Impromptu speaking is a speech that a person
delivers without predetermination or preparation.
The speaker is most commonly provided with their
topic in the form of a quotation, but the topic may
also be presented as an object, proverb, one-word
abstract, or one of the many alternative possibilities.

Informative Speech
An informative speech is one that intends to
educate the audience on a particular topic. ... The
topics covered in an informative speech should help
the audience to understand a subject better and to
remember what they learned later. The goal of this
type of speech isn't to sway the audience to the
speaker's point of view.
• Informative speaking generally centers on talking about people,
events, processes, places, or things. Informing an audience about
one of these subjects without being persuasive is often a difficult
task to complete. For example, a speech informing an audience
about growing peace lilies as houseplants might ultimately persuade
the audience to buy and grow peace lilies. All speech has an effect
that might enable individuals to self-persuade themselves.
• Themain goal of an informative speech is to provide enlightenment
regarding a specific topic the audience knows nothing about. 
Types of Informative Speeches
• Definition
• Descriptive
• Explanatory
• Demonstrative
 Definition
•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.
Demonstrative
A demonstration speech explains how to do something. If you have
ever sat through a lecture where a teacher explained how to create a
bibliography, then you have heard a demonstration speech. 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.
Explanatory
An explanatory speech might give a description of the state of
a given topic. As an example, consider the types of speeches
that are given at industry conferences. 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. This is one way to condense highly complex
information into an easily retainable package for the audience.
Descriptive
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.
Tips for informative speaking:
• Analyze the audience. What can the audience be reasonably expected to know? If
talking to a field of medical professional about cloning, they likely know the basics
of DNA. An audience of lay people might not be so fluent in the language of
biomedical engineering, and so basic concepts like this will have to be explained.
Never presume that an audience has a thorough background in the subject.
• Use appropriate language. What are the norms for speaking style for the
audience? If they expect lots of jargon and specialized language, the speech should
be peppered with such language or else the audience will feel like they are being
talked down to. If the audience is unfamiliar with these technical terms, avoid using
them or introduce them with an explanation of what they mean.
• Explain the importance of the topic. Why should the audience listen? Will this
information improve their lives in some meaningful way? Especially with a
captive--involuntary--audience, a speaker must establish a connection between their
topic and the interests of the audience.
• Express interest in the subject material. Why should an audience listen if
the speaker seems just as bored as they do? A speaker who confesses their own
interest in the topic might activate the audience to share a similar interest.
• Show, don't tell. Don't most people learn through doing or seeing? Being told
about a process, like cloning, could be informative, but probably not have as
great an impact as being shown the process with pictures or perhaps even lab
equipment. Informative speeches often benefit from a demonstration or visual
aid. Technology can assist "showing" when the subject is not easily brought
physically into the room (imagine the troubles of an informative speech on the
sun if a prop was required!)
• Be specific. Informative speeches thrive on detail, and dive on generalities. If
speaking about basket weaving, carefully note what types of weaving
materials work and do not work for basket making. Audiences are often
impressed by detail, but be careful not to become so detail-oriented that the
big picture of the speech is lost (missing the forest for the trees).
