Types of Speeches the principle purpose of a speech will generally fall into four basic types

Informative Persuasive Entertaining technical

Informative speech In an informative speech you Explain something to people Help people to understand something Show them how to do something

Points to remember You have to remember that the whole purpose of your speech is to teach the audience something that they don't already know. The audience need time to take in what you've said. If you speak too quickly your audience will be trying to understand one sentence while you're speaking the next sentence!

Examples The speech given by the head of an organization A computer programmer speaking about new software A travelogue about the tour A teacher telling students about something

Persuasive speech The persuasive speech is To sell an audience on an idea To promote a specific product To convince someone to take action You want them To think, act and believe in what you want them to

Points to remember Make use of graphs and supporting documentation Present some facts and figures but make sure that they're accurate and that they support your point of view. If there have been similar problems you can tell your audience how they were solved. Try to make it personal to your listeners, if it's going to effect their family, home or job they will start to take notice.
