Types of Speech
Context
●Intrapersonal
-This refers to a type of
communication that is
focused on one person, where
the speaker acts both as the
sender and as the receiver.
Example:
There is a voice within you that tells you,”it’s
okay, you can still do it!! You can make it” when
you are losing your drive to finish the task that you
are doing.
●Interpersonal
-This refers to the type of
communication that takes place
between and among people and
creates a personal relationship
between and among them.
Examples:
Types of
Interpersonal
Communication
❖Dyad Communication
-Communication that
happens between
two people.
Example:
A conversation between your father
and mother about the latest
announcement of your barangay
Chairman.
❖Small Group
-This applies to interactions
involving at least three but not
more than twelve people engaged
in face-to-face interactions to
achieve the desired goal.
Example:
You are having a discussion with your two
brothers about the surprise party you are
planning for your Mom’s birthday.
● Public
- This type refers to a communication that
enables you to send or deliver a message
before a crowd. The message can be
transmitted for informative or persuasive
purposes. The voice is louder and the
gestures are more expensive because the
audience is larger.
Example:
Delivering a graduation speech to
your fellow graduates.
● Mass Communication
-This refers to communication
through television, radio,
newspapers, magazines,
books, billboards, the internet,
and other types of media.
Example:
You are watching a televised
briefing on COVID-19.
Verbal and Non-
verbal Behavior
in a Speech
Context
● When talking to your self
-You might be familiar with the feeling of
quietly talking to yourself in your mind, and
it’s normal - and good for you. By performing
this, it makes you think and reflect on the
things you have done or are planning to do.
But here are some important reminders that
you need to keep in mind:
❖Use self-talk to your advantage
-Cheering yourself up before
an important event or talking
to yourself while completing a
task are two perfect
opportunities for self-talk.
❖Don’t overdo it
-It is better not to overuse yourself of
doing so. The most common reason
why people end up talking to
themselves is because they feel like
they do not have someone else to talk
to.
● When talking to one person or a small group
of people
-This kind of communication implies that the
conversation is being shared and there is
exchange of ideas. Small group involves different
skills because unlike dyad, it consists of more
than two people. To achieve successful
communication in a dyad or small group, you
have to consider the following:
❖Listen carefully
-You have to listen carefully and understand
what the other person is saying. Asking
clarifying questions lets the other person
know that you are indeed listening
attentively. You also need to be heard and
understood when it is your time to speak.
❖ Check your tone and body language
-Watch your tone and body language
while you are talking. Is your tone tough?
Do you smile and encourage the person
you are talking to? Your body language
tells more about your emotions and
thoughts than your actual words.
❖When talking to the public
-The key is to come prepared. From
analyzing the audience to planning and
drafting the speech up to the rehearsing
part. Be yourself while you are on stage
and speak in the way that you will be
easily understood by your audience.
