Question

Why might a speaker use humor in a persuasive speech

Answer 1

Hey there!

A speaker might use humor in a persuasive speech to make himself more likable and appeal to the audience and create a connection. And to also keep the audience engaged in what he/she is saying

Answer 2

I think a speaker would use humor in this because personally, I think a long, boring speech is not fun. So why not try to lighten things up a bit by adding some comedy into it. :)
Hope this helps!
P.S You can give brainliest to the other person, I don't mind :)
