Public speaking is the act of sharing information with an audience. Here are a few forms of public speaking.

Demonstrative

This method entails describing or performing actions in a clear voice, and can include role-playing and science demonstrations. The main goal of demonstrative speaking is to leave the audience with knowledge of performing a task.

Persuasive

Lawyers, clergy, and politicians utilize this strategy. Persuasive speaking aims to convince the audience of the speaker's viewpoint. Persuasive speakers employ powerful, convincing language and emotional appeals when addressing the audience, since they have a stake in the speech's outcome.

Informative

Here the speaker focuses on explaining a specific concept to the audience. Examples of informative speaking include industry conferences and college lectures. The main focus of this speaking method is to disseminate vital information.

Ceremonial

This public speaking technique is often given on special occasions. Ceremonial speaking is usually personal and involves a toast. It is used at events such as funerals, weddings, birthdays, or graduations.
