IMPROMPTU SPEECH TECHNIQUES

1. FAT (Feeling, Anecdote, Tie Back) Method
F – Feeling: Share your honest feeling about the topic,
circumstance or person.
A – Anecdote: Share a relevant story.
T – Tie Back: Make sure you tie it back to the topic you are
talking.

EXAMPLE:
Scenario: You are asked to thank a group of interns that worked
with your department for the summer.

F: Feeling
I want to thank Michael, Amey, and Kira for working with our
department over the summer. Their work is greatly appreciated,
and I don’t know how we would have done it without them (only
say it this way if it’s the truth).
A: Anecdote
I remember your first day. You were all quiet, taking notes and
probably thinking oh my god what a mess. Then surprised us all
by your initiative and how quickly you learned. With your help,
we caught up on our financial audit.
T: Tie back
We were so thankful to have you this summer and wanted to
wish you the best in your academic career next year. I know
some of you will be graduating, and I look forward to hearing
from you. I hope you would consider coming back to work with
us. Good luck!
2. PREP (Point, Reason, Example, Point)
PREP method a natural structure to use;
P – Point: State your point of view.
R – Reason: Reasons for your point of view.
E – Example (Explanation / Elaboration): Prove it. Explain how
you reached this point of view.
P – Point: Conclude it. Restate your point of view.

EXAMPLE:
Scenario: You are asked to deliver a short speech at a party for a
colleague who is leaving an organization.

P: Point
Steph’s departure is going to be a big loss for our organization,
and we will miss her tremendously.
R: Reasons
Steph hasn’t only been a co-worker. She has also been a friend
and a sister to all of us. I speak for everyone when I say that we
could always count on her to be there for any of us. In addition to
that, Steph is a very talented web designer, partner-relations
coordinator, and office manager.
E: Examples/Evidences
Our current beautiful website was Jamie’s work. She was
responsible for everything on the site including the content. Even
though it was a very difficult task, she worked with a great
attitude and collaborated with all of us to get our ideas so that she
could create a website that we would all love. Since creating the
site, we have increased our number of website visitors and also
the number of people donating to KAF. Jamie has also done a
fantastic job of building relationships with our partners that have
resulting in us ministering to them and them generously giving to
support our missions. In addition to all these, she has been great
at managing the office and keeping everything really organized.
P: Point
These are just a few reasons why Jamie’s departure is going to be
a big loss for our organization and we are going to miss her
tremendously.
 ACTIVITY 2: TRY THIS!

Identify the P.R.E.P parts in the given paragraph.

“Malta is a wonderful holiday destination (point). It is a country

drenched in history and offers an abundance of activities for
travelers (reason). Churches date back to St Paul’s era,
catacombs and air raid shelters date back to the second world
war; Bastions date back to St Johns Knights. You could dive into
one of the many wrecks or take a dip in one of the many
beautiful inlets and bays (examples). Of course, these are just
some of the things Malta has to offer; it is a wonderful holiday
destination (point).”
