Persuasion is the process that is aimed at changing a person’s or a group’s attitude or behavior. A persuasive speech such as sales pitches, debates, and legal proceedings, typically use ethos, pathos and/or logos. When delivering this type of speech, your aim is to change or help develop your audience's point of view on a subject. The only real way to authentically gain a response, is if you truly believe what you are speaking about. There is no point in delivering a persuasive speech unless one has an argument to make. Usually we deliver a persuasive speech because we believe in the subject and that the subject has importance. All in all, to effectively give a persuasive speech, yes, you do need some level of belief in your argument.
