Types of speech based on delivery method are further divided into four. To understand more clearly, please refer to the following complete review.
-Impromptu Speech, impromptu speech is a type of speech delivered suddenly without any prior preparation. This speech is only done in emergency situations or spontaneity where the speaker conveys information based on experience or knowledge. The speaker also does not need to prepare special preparations such as preparing a speech text script and memorizing it.
-Manuscript Speech, is a speech text using a script, where the speaker reads the prepared speech script from beginning to end. It can be said that this type of speech only reads instead of delivering the speech. The advantage of this type of speech is that it can be selected well so that the speaker can deliver it well. Fluency in speaking can be achieved and arranged, as the words have been prepared beforehand. Furthermore, deviations can also be avoided.
- Memorized Speech, is a type of speech by memorizing the script beforehand. In this type of speech, what is important is that you have the ability to memorize the speech text and remember the words in it well. So, if you can memorize it well, then your speech will also be smooth and well-received. However, the disadvantage of this type of speech is usually delivered monotonously, so the possibility of attracting attention is very small.
- Impromptu Speech, this type of speech is known to be very good, especially used by experienced and skilled speakers. When delivering an impromptu speech, the speaker must first prepare the main points and supporting topics. The advantage of an impromptu speech is better communication between the audience and the speaker because the speaker speaks directly to the audience.
Those are a series of speech types that you need to know. Hopefully, it will increase your knowledge.
