What is a speech with no sound?

This is a bit of a riddle! Here are a few possibilities:

* A speech written down: A text transcript of a speech would contain all the words but have no sound.

* A speech in sign language: Sign language uses hand gestures and facial expressions, but no vocalization.

* A speech given by someone who is mute: A person who cannot speak might give a speech using written words, sign language, or even a device that translates their thoughts into text.

* A speech in a silent movie: In silent films, characters would communicate with subtitles and expressive gestures, but not sound.
