Vonnegut was a surprisingly good speaker. I don't particularly care for all of his written work, but I wouldn't mind listening to his speeches.

Yeah he was. He denied writing this, but it sure does sound like him.
If you like his writing, I can recommend this:

There was also that song that was a recited college commencement address, “The Sunscreen Song” by Baz Luhrmann, thought (incorrectly) to be based on a Vonnegut speech: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wear_Sunscreen
