Types of Speeches

Memorization and manuscript

Memorized speeches are delivered after extensive rehearsal and memorization.

Generally, the speaker writes a speech and attempts to recite it word for word, leaving little room for adaptation. Memorization is considered the most difficult mode, and it is not recommended for novice speakers. Reading a manuscript of a speech gives the speaker the advantage of not omitting vital information and staying focused, but it takes away from other important aspects, such as eye contact. Impromptu speeches work well for quick-thinking speakers, but they leave open the possibility of losing focus or disorganization.

_Impromptu

_{This speech delivered “on the spot” with no preparation at all. For instance, an impromptu speech is delivered when you are asked to give a message at a party like a despedida or buenvenida party}

_{Extemporaneous}

_{Extemporaneous is a speech with preparation. You may deliver it with an outline or some notes. This kind of speech is usually use when you speak persuasively or informatively about current events and politics.}
