      Overview

      Parts of a Speech

      A speech has three main parts

      Introduction: Gains audience attention, orients the listeners to your topic, and prepares them for your speech

      Body: Contains at least 75% of the information you will speak about. It is divided into 3–5 main points. Each main point is clearly stated and supported by subordinate points containing your research and supporting material

      Conclusion: Reviews your main points and provides closure by ending with a strong final statement

      The delivery of a speech is effective when the speaker knows the material well, maintains eye contact with the audience, uses a variety of vocal changes, and appears to move naturally

      Types of Speeches

      An informative speech, oral report, lecture, or workshop is designed to explain, instruct, define, clarify, demonstrate, or teach

      Can be formal or informal

      While it is important to keep the audience’s attention, and audience enjoyment is a bonus, too much entertainment can be a distraction

      Used in conferences, educational institutions, and workplaces

      Persuasive speeches, debates, sales presentations, and sermons influence, convince, motivate, sell products, preach, or stimulate action

      Must inspire purposeful emotion

      Audience entertainment is irrelevant as long as they are paying attention

      The evocative speech entertains, inspires, or helps listeners to celebrate, bond, or commemorate

      Is most often informal

      Should inspire emotion; only successful if the audience enjoys it

      Used in political contexts, wedding parties, and roasts

      The impromptu speech requires you to speak on the spur of the moment with little or no preparation time

      You can successfully do this by thinking of two to three main points on your way up to the front of the room

      If you think you might be asked to do one, even five minutes of preparation will make these much easier

      Used in workplaces, Q&A sessions, wedding parties, and company gatherings

      The storytelling speech enhances one’s cultural identity by building a common understanding of tradition, morals, values, goals, and desires

      Entertains and amuses listeners

      Combines informative and evocative speech styles

      Analyze Your Audience

      Analyze the demographics and attitudes of your audience

      Consider how your audience’s knowledge of your topic and point of view will affect the way you will direct your message

      Think about your audience’s intended reaction to your message, and structure your words
