Eagleton Institute of Politics at Rutgers University in New Jersey, there are seven principles of
public speaking.
same attention as if you were a professional athlete. Remember, even world champion
athletes practice every day. Try taking a class where you practice giving speeches.
o Articulation
o Modulation

o Facial expression, gestures, and movements
o Rapport with the audience
There are four (4) basic types of speeches according to purpose: to inform, to instruct, to persuade,
and to entertain. You may have several purposes in mind when giving your presentation. For
example, you may try to inform in an entertaining style. Another speaker might inform the audience
and try to persuade them to act on the information. However, the overriding purpose of a speech will
generally fall into one of these types:
1. Informative - This speech serves to provide interesting and useful information to your
audience like your teacher talking about earthquakes or a fellow student presenting his
research.
2. Demonstrative - This has many similarities with an informative speech but it also teaches you
something. A cooking demonstration is a good example of this kind of speech that instructs
the audience on how to do something step by step.
3. Persuasive - A persuasive speech works to convince people to change the way they think or
do something, or to start doing something that they are not currently doing. Talks on
becoming an organ donor or improving your health through better eating are examples.
4. Entertaining - The speech during a program intermission or after dinner is a typical example
of an entertaining speech. The speaker provides pleasure and enjoyment that make the
audience laugh or identify with anecdotal information.

1. Manuscript speaking involves reading your speech word-for-word from its written form.
The advantage to delivering a speech this way is that you can perfectly plan and control
the wording of your speech.
This sounds like ideal, but really it is not.
For one thing, in most speeches, you should be striving for an informal, conversational
delivery style.
Reading prevents that, as well as eye contact.
Also, with set wording, you cant adapt the speech if the audience isnt following or
interested in your speech.
3. Impromptu speech is one that you are asked to deliver with little or no preparation.
Chances are, that if youre on this site, impromptu speeches arent what you are expected
to deliver.
4. Extemporaneous speech is a speech delivered with some prepared structure, such as notes or
an outline, but is otherwise delivered off-the-cut.
The notes allow you to structure your speech without handcuffing you in the event that
your audience needs you to adapt.
Also, you will sound more natural and conversational, and this will help hold audience
attention.
