Public speaking is different from conversation in many ways. Unlike conversation which is loosely organized, informal, has no clear purpose, generally two – way,
and involves small group, public speaking is well structured, has a clear purpose, involves a larger group, uses more formal language, and has clearly defined roles for the speaker and listeners.

What is Public Speaking?
Public speaking is an art of presenting an idea a product or a service to the crowd or to the public.
It’s a challenging art to master since it will require the speaker to persuade the crowd or at least carefully educate the listeners about the topic discussed.
Essentials of public speaking
Public speaking skill increases both self – confidence and chances for career advancement. Professionals with communication proficiency are promoted faster and more often.
Aside from professional advancement and confidence – building, public speaking will help you to hone your skills in correct word usage. Also, it will train you to persuade, inform and inspire people.
Types of speech delivery
1. Manuscript Speech
A Manuscript speech is a mode of delivery in which the speaker reads from manuscript. Manuscript speeches are most common in situations where careful wording is required.
2. Memorized Speech
A Memorized Speech is like Manuscript speech that has to be delivered word for word. Further, the speaker has committed the speech to memory. Though the speaker increased eye
contact compared to manuscript speech, the delivery still takes a “canned” tone. Some speakers are also prone to pauses as they are trying to remember the words in their speech.
3. Impromptu Speech
An Impromptu speech is the least formal delivery of material that you are called upon to speak with less preparation usually for a few minutes only. It is also known as on – the – spot speech that generally happens during formal functions and celebrations.
4. Extemporaneous Speech
An extemporaneous speech is researched, outlined, and well rehearsed before actual delivery. In this mode of delivery, the speaker tends to be more conversational, audience – centered, and connected with the audience.
Types of Speech According to
Purpose
1. Speech to Inform (clear understanding) aims to help the audience understand a concept or idea.
