TYPES OF SPEECHES ACCOURDING
TO FUNCTION

Informative Persuasive/ Entertaining

Argumentative
INFORMATIVE
An informative speech is one that intends to educate the audience on a
particular topic. It 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.
There are 4 types of informative speech these include definitional
speeches, descriptive speeches, explanatory speeches, and demonstration
speeches.

Example:
A lecture given by a teacher in a high school or college class.
ARGUMENTATIVE/PERSUASIVE
Persuasive speech is used when presenters decide to convince their
presentation or ideas to their listeners. Their goal is to convince or
persuade people to believe in a certain point of view.

An argumentative speech is a persuasive speech in which the speaker

attempts to persuade his audience to alter their viewpoints on a
controversial issue.
ENTERTAINING
An entertaining speech is a speech designed to captivate an audience’s
attention and regale or amuse them while delivering a message. Like more
traditional informative or persuasive speeches, entertaining speeches should
communicate a clear message, but the manner of speaking used in an
entertaining speech is typically different.

Entertaining speeches are often delivered on special occasions, which is

why they are sometimes referred to as special-occasion speeches. However,
they can also be given on more mundane occasions, where their purpose is
primarily to amuse audience members or arouse the emotionally in some way.
Remember, when we use the word “entertain,” we are referring not just to
humor but also to drama.
TYPE OF SPEECH ACCORDING TO
DELIVERY
01 Impromptu 02 Extemporaneous

03 Manuscript 04 Memorized
 IMPROMPTU
An impromptu speech is given with little or no preparation, yet almost
always with some advance knowledge on the topic. It is when you’re asked
to speak in public without prior notice.
There are 5 W’s – who, what, where, when, and why; Where we are able
to organize out thoughts in an easy-to-follow way.

Examples:
Presidential Debate
 EXTEMPORANEOUS
This Extemporaneous speech is a well-prepared speech that relies on
research, clear organization, and practiced delivery. It is delivered with the
help of short notes and a clear outline.
The use of voice, movement, expression, and confidence are factors
into the judge’s evaluation.

Examples:
An actor practicing his/her lines before the performance.
 MANUSCRIPT
This is when a speaker reads a pre-written speech word by word to an
audience. The speaker makes the entire speech by referring to the printed
document, or as seen on the teleprompter. It is basically an easy method of
oral communication.

Examples:
A speech given by a Congressman on a legislative bill under consideration.
● A report read out by a Chief Engineer at an Annual General Meeting.
 MEMORIZED
A memorized speech is also fully prepared in advance and one in which
the speaker does not use any notes. In the case of an occasion speech like a
quick toast, a brief dedication, or a short eulogy, word-for-word
memorization might make sense

Examples:
Poetry contest
Lectures/ Conferences
● Spelling competitions
