Impromptu Speaking
If you are asked to give
an impromptu speech,
the most important
thing is not to panic.
Speaking from
Manuscript
Experienced speakers
who use manuscripts
are often so skilled at
delivery that the
audience is not aware
the speech is being
read.
Speaking from
Memory
It requires considerable
acting talent to be able
to sound natural and
spontaneous.
Extemporaneous
Speaking
Will rely on notes to
remember most of the
speech.
