“GETTING TO KNOW YOU”
Types of Speech Style

The context dictates and affects the way people communicate, which results in various speech
styles. According to Joos (1968), there are five speech styles. These are (1) intimate, (2) casual, (3)
consultative, (4) formal, and (5) frozen. Each style dictates what appropriate language or vocabulary
should be used or observed.
1. Intimate – This style is private, which occurs between or among close family members or
individuals. The language used in this style may not be shared in public.
2. Casual – This style is common among peers and friends. Jargon, slang, or the vernacular
language are used.
3. Consultative – This style is the standard one. Professional or mutually acceptable language is a
must in this style. Examples of situations are communication between teachers and students,
employers and employees, doctor and patient, judge and lawyer, or President and his/her
constituents.
4. Formal – This style is used in formal settings. Unlike the consultative style, this is one-way.
Examples are sermons by priests and ministers, State of the Nation Address of the President,
formal speeches, or pronouncements by judges.
5. Frozen – This style is “frozen” in time and remains unchanged. It mostly occurs in ceremonies.
Common examples are the
Preamble to the Constitution, Lord’s Prayer, and Allegiance to country or flag.
Four Types of Speeches
1. Manuscript Speaking is a written text read to an audience from a paper script or teleprompter.
This method involves reading a speech verbatim and is typically used when there is a time
constraint or the speech will be telecast.
2. Extemporaneous speech is a perfect balance. This speech involves the speaker's use of
notes and some embellishment to deliver a speech. To clear this up, a speaker who uses this
method would have note cards or prompts that guide him from point to point, but he uses his
own words as he goes along. What makes this different than an impromptu speech is that he
has a loose guideline for his speech. He did not memorize anything; he just used cues to know
where to go next.
3. Impromptu speech is a speech that a person delivers without predetermination or
preparation. The speaker is most commonly provided with their topic in the form of a quotation,
but the topic may also be presented as an object, proverb, one-word abstract, or one of the
many alternative possibilities
4. Memorized speech is just that. It is the act of memorizing the information in a speech and
presenting it without using notes. There is a benefit to delivering a speech this way. It doesn't
require the speaker to carry note cards around the stage.
