what is entertaining speech

An entertaining speech is a speech designed to captivate an audiences attention and regale or amuse them while delivering a clear message. The goal of an entertaining speech is to stir an audiences emotions, not just to make them laugh. While entertaining speeches should communicate a clear message like more traditional informative or persuasive speeches, the manner of speaking used in an entertaining speech is typically different. The purpose of an entertaining speech is to amuse or entertain the audience, not necessarily to share information or persuade the audience of a particular viewpoint. Entertaining speeches are definitely very common, but that doesnt mean they dont require effort and preparation. A frequent trap is that people often think of entertaining speeches as corny and dont prepare seriously, but instead stand up to speak with the idea that they can "wing it" by acting silly and telling a few jokes. Instead of being entertaining, the speech falls flat.
