Informal tone, as opposed to formal tone (which is direct and concise), is characterized by a personal and colloquial sense that aims at raising conviviality, a sense of nearness, connection, and familiarity that can breed confidence and trust on the side of the audience so that they can feel comfortable and ready to open up.
