Knowing the main types of public speaking helps you pick the right approach before you write a single line, whether you are preparing a class talk, a wedding toast, a business pitch, or a lesson plan on types of public speaking for kids. Experts usually sort speeches in two ways: by purpose, which is why you are speaking, and by delivery method, which is how you present the speech. Once you know both, planning a talk becomes much easier.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">This guide explains each type in plain language with real examples, simple techniques you can use right away, and the skills behind them. You will also find a section just for children and a short checklist to help you choose the right type for your next speech.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-40fac2c elementor-align-center elementor-widget elementor-widget-button\" data-id=\"40fac2c\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"button.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<a class=\"elementor-button elementor-button-link elementor-size-sm\" href=\"https:\/\/demo.oratrics.com\/\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-content-wrapper\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<span class=\"elementor-button-text\">Book a Free Demo Today<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/span>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a02f25a elementor-widget elementor-widget-image\" data-id=\"a02f25a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"image.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<img fetchpriority=\"high\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"647\" src=\"https:\/\/blog.oratrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01ebf5f8-7545-4230-aa88-2c1b199eaa75-1024x647.webp\" class=\"attachment-large size-large wp-image-25886\" alt=\"Types of public speaking explained with visual examples\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blog.oratrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01ebf5f8-7545-4230-aa88-2c1b199eaa75-1024x647.webp 1024w, https:\/\/blog.oratrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01ebf5f8-7545-4230-aa88-2c1b199eaa75-300x190.webp 300w, https:\/\/blog.oratrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01ebf5f8-7545-4230-aa88-2c1b199eaa75-768x486.webp 768w, https:\/\/blog.oratrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01ebf5f8-7545-4230-aa88-2c1b199eaa75-1536x971.webp 1536w, https:\/\/blog.oratrics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/10\/01ebf5f8-7545-4230-aa88-2c1b199eaa75.webp 1577w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-bb6a4ba\" data-id=\"bb6a4ba\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-d0075f8 elementor-widget elementor-widget-html\" data-id=\"d0075f8\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"html.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<link rel=\"preconnect\" href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\">\r\n<link href=\"https:\/\/fonts.googleapis.com\/css2?family=Poppins:wght@400;500;600;700&display=swap\" rel=\"stylesheet\">\r\n\r\n<div class=\"toc-wrapper\">\r\n    \r\n    \r\n    <div class=\"custom-toc\" id=\"custom-toc\">\r\n        <div class=\"toc-title\">\r\n            \u2630 Table of Contents\r\n        <\/div>\r\n        <ul class=\"toc-list\" id=\"toc-list\"><\/ul>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n    \r\n<\/div>\r\n\r\n<style>\r\n\/* Parent Fixed Wrapper holding both components together *\/\r\n.toc-wrapper {\r\n    position: fixed;\r\n    top: 150px;

Most public speaking textbooks list four main purposes: to inform, to persuade, to entertain, and to mark a special occasion. Many trainers add a fifth, to motivate or inspire. Choose one main purpose for each speech. Trying to do all of them at once usually leaves the audience confused.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Informative Speaking<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An informative speech helps the audience understand or learn something. You are the guide, not the debater, so the goal is clarity rather than a change of opinion.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples: a classroom lecture, a science fair explanation, a news briefing, a staff training session, or a talk that explains how a new app works. A demonstrative speech is a close cousin. Here you show how to do something, such as planting a seed or folding a paper boat, while you speak.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Techniques that work: say why the topic matters in your first minute, keep to three main points, use simple comparisons, and signpost your talk with phrases like &#8220;first,&#8221; &#8220;next,&#8221; and &#8220;finally.&#8221; Pause now and then to check that people are following.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Persuasive Speaking<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A persuasive speech tries to change what the audience thinks or does. It might ask people to vote, buy, donate, join, or simply see an issue differently.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples: a school debate, a student council election speech, a sales pitch, a campaign rally, or a charity appeal. The &#8220;I Have a Dream&#8221; speech delivered by Martin Luther King Jr. in 1963 is a famous example of persuasive and inspirational speaking combined.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Techniques that work: the Greek thinker Aristotle described three appeals that speakers still use. Ethos is your credibility, pathos is the emotion you create, and logos is the logic and evidence you offer. Strong persuasive speakers use all three, answer likely objections, and end with a clear call to action. Stay honest. Persuasion built on false claims loses trust quickly.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Entertaining Speaking<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">An entertaining speech aims to give the audience a good time and build a connection. Humour and stories are the main tools.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples: stand up comedy, an after dinner talk, a best man speech, a storytelling night, or a funny skit introduction at a school annual day.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Techniques that work: timing matters more than the joke itself, so practise your pauses. Choose relatable stories from everyday life, keep the humour suitable for the audience, and always rehearse the punchline out loud.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Special Occasion Speaking<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Special occasion speeches, also called ceremonial speeches, fit a particular event. They celebrate, honour, welcome, or remember.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples: a wedding toast, a eulogy, a farewell speech, an award acceptance, a vote of thanks, a welcome address, or a guest introduction. Abraham Lincoln&#8217;s Gettysburg Address in 1863, given to dedicate a cemetery, is a classic case. Steve Jobs&#8217;s 2005 Stanford commencement address is a modern one.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Techniques that work: keep it short, match the mood of the event, thank the right people, and include one personal detail. Avoid inside jokes that most of the room will not understand.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Motivational or Inspirational Speaking<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A motivational speech lifts energy and encourages people to act or keep going. Many speakers weave in personal stories to make the message real.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples: a coach&#8217;s pep talk before a match, a graduation speech, a TEDx style personal story, or a leader addressing a team during a hard month. The talks given by Dr A P J Abdul Kalam to students are often cited as motivational speeches in India.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Techniques that work: share one honest story, keep the message simple, speak with energy but not shouting, and end with a clear challenge such as &#8220;try this for one week.&#8221;<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-6c06dcc\" data-id=\"6c06dcc\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<section class=\"elementor-section elementor-top-section elementor-element elementor-element-c1a986a elementor-section-full_width elementor-section-height-default elementor-section-height-default\" data-id=\"c1a986a\" data-element_type=\"section\" data-e-type=\"section\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-container elementor-column-gap-default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-29f3e33\" data-id=\"29f3e33\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-column elementor-col-33 elementor-top-column elementor-element elementor-element-1a3b622\" data-id=\"1a3b622\" data-element_type=\"column\" data-e-type=\"column\">\n\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-wrap elementor-element-populated\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-91a756a elementor-widget elementor-widget-heading\" data-id=\"91a756a\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"heading.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t<h2 class=\"elementor-heading-title elementor-size-default\">Types of Public Speaking by Purpose\n<\/h2>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-a30d4bd elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"a30d4bd\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Purpose is the reason behind your speech.

Textbooks usually name four methods. Any purpose from the section above can be paired with any delivery method.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Manuscript Delivery<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In manuscript delivery you read a fully written speech word for word. It is the safest choice when exact wording matters.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples: a government announcement, a news bulletin, a legal statement, a formal address, or a speech that will be quoted by the media.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengths: accuracy and strict control of timing. Weaknesses: it can sound flat, and you may lose eye contact. To improve it, print in a large font, mark pauses with a slash, look up at the end of each sentence, and practise reading aloud until it sounds like speech rather than reading.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Memorised Delivery<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">In memorised delivery you learn the speech by heart and present it without notes.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples: a poem recitation, an elocution contest, a drama monologue, or a short toast.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengths: strong eye contact and a polished feel when rehearsed well. Weaknesses: blanking out can feel scary, and the delivery can sound robotic. Learn the speech in small chunks, practise with distractions around you, and know the key idea of each part so you can recover if a line slips away.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Impromptu Delivery<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Impromptu speaking means talking with little or no preparation. You think and speak at almost the same time.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples: answering a question in a meeting, a Just a Minute game, an extempore round at school, or being asked to say a few words at a family event.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">A simple structure helps. Try PREP: state your Point, give a Reason, add an Example, and repeat your Point. Another option is past, present, and future. Take one calm breath, choose one idea, and stop when you have made your point. Short and clear beats long and lost.<\/span><\/p><h3><b>Extemporaneous Delivery<\/b><\/h3><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Extemporaneous delivery means you plan and rehearse your speech but speak from a brief outline or key words instead of a full script. Most trainers consider it the best all round method.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Examples: a class presentation, a business pitch, a conference talk, or most TED style talks.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Strengths: it sounds natural and lets you adjust to the audience. Weaknesses: it needs more practice than people expect. Write keywords instead of sentences, rehearse out loud several times, and time yourself.<\/span><\/p><p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Many speakers mix methods. A common approach is to memorise the opening and closing lines and use an outline for the middle.<\/span><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div

Informative, persuasive, entertaining, special occasion, and motivational speeches cover purpose. Manuscript, memorised, impromptu, and extemporaneous speaking cover delivery. Add a style that fits the audience, build the skills behind each type, and practise out loud. Whether you are a student, a professional, or a parent choosing types of public speaking for kids, the best approach is to start small, keep your message clear, and practise often.
