Informative Speech

References: http://www.afraid-of-speaking-a-speech.com/informativespeech.html

An informative speech does what it says - it informs.







In an informative speech you'll either be explaining something to people, helping people to understand something or showing them how to do something.
You have to remember that the whole purpose of your speech is to teach the audience something that they don't already know.
When you're explaining to an audience you need to make extra use of the pause and make sure the pace isn't too quick.
The audience need time to take in what you've said.
If you speak too quickly your audience will be trying to understand one sentence while you're speaking the next sentence!
After each new thought you need to pause so that the audience have time to take in what you've said.
Don't be frightened of silence - it shows you are confident about your topic.
