 Let Us Study

According to Stephen Lucas (2011), author of The Art of Public

Speaking, a good delivery means that you are capable and able to present
your message in a clear, coherent, and interesting way.
Good delivery conveys the speaker’s ideas clearly, interestingly, and
without distracting the audience. Most audiences prefer delivery that
combines a certain degree of formality with the best attributes of good
conversation- directness, spontaneity, animation, vocal and facial
expressiveness, and a lively sense of communication.

This time, we will identify the types of speech according to purpose.

Are you ready?

Types of Speech According to Purpose

1. Informative – provides the audience with a clear understanding of a

concept or idea. The lectures of our teachers are the best examples of
this type.

2. Entertainment- amuses the audience. The humorous speeches of

comedians and performers are the best examples.

3. Persuasive – seeks to provide the audience with acceptable ideas that

can influence their own ideas and decisions. The campaign speeches
of the running candidates for government post are the best examples
of this type.
