I would just include all that in the potentially encoded meaning of the speech. Certainly a political speech, or even a general addressing his troops, would be a very different thing than a professor lecturing his students on atomic physics.

I suppose to be really clear you'd have to separate SPEAKING from body language or just making noises, or subtle cues like joking or sarcasm? And the kind of font a poster is printed in, or the picture on it, does actually matter. So "speech" is probably misleading. Communicating then?
