This document discusses guidelines for extempore speaking and public speaking. It defines extempore speaking as an impromptu speech given without preparation on a randomly assigned topic within a limited time. Candidates are evaluated on their ability to think on their feet, analyze the topic, connect with the audience, and communicate effectively. Preparation is recommended to allow speeches to come across as impressively spontaneous. Public speaking is defined as a formal speech to a live audience aimed at informing, persuading, or entertaining them. Key differences between the two include that public speaking allows for some preparation while extempore requires thinking on one's feet. The document provides tips for both types of speaking including focusing on the audience, understanding one's purpose,

10. Make the audience the center of your
universe
• You are not the focus of the event! Get that essential truth into your
presentation. Every good speaker cares more about the audience than
themselves.
• Focusing fully on the audience lifts the tremendous burden from your
shoulders in terms of worrying about the performance .

11. RULE-1
Focus on relationships
• If the audience is the center of your universe, your are already focused on
the right task, establishing and maintaining a relationship with them.
• Three relationship are operating during speech, between you and the
audience, you and the content, and the audience and content.

your purpose
will help you gather exactly the right information to

12. Rule-3
Use your body language
• Your body is a powerful communication tool. Audience need you to
give expression to your message. That of course, means understanding

defined.

13. RULE-4
Color your vocal delivery
Your voice is the most flexible speaking tool you own apart from the
brain itself. Its capable of a wide range of coloration and effects. To
speak without vocal variation means using a “mono”or single tone,
from which we derive the word monotonous. If you are limited
vocally,work with a speech coach to learn the vocal dynamics that
will, quite simply make you a more exciting speakers.

and prepare enough.
• But what happens when the questions and challenges begin? The
speaker who can handle that situation with style, knowledge and a bit
of humor is, the person who embodies presentation leadership.
