 Impromptu Speaking

An impromptu speech is a speech that you have to make without much or any time to prepare. In life,
this can happen when you attend special events, like weddings or celebrations. In school, teachers
use impromptu speeches as homework assignments to help you develop communication skills and to
help you prepare for those future life surprises.

1.) Grab a pen and a piece of paper. If you have a few moments before your speech is expected to
begin, grab a writing utensil and something to write on, whether it's a napkin, envelope, or the back of
a receipt you have on hand, and jot down a few thoughts.

2.) Highlight a few interesting or significant points. Keep in mind, your impromptu speech doesn't
have to be long. A little-known fact about effective speeches is that if you start with a good line and
then end with a really great punch, the speech will be perceived as a total success. So the beginning
and ending markers are critical. The middle portion of your speech should relate to the event you're
attending or the class assignment, but if you have to choose one great moment, your ending line is
particularly important. If you can walk away gracefully, your speech will be a hit, so keep your big
zinger for last.

3.) Try to memorize key points. If you have time before your speech, create an outline of the major
themes or points and commit it to memory with a memorization trick, like an acronym. Don't try to
remember the entire speech in detail like this; just remember important points.

4.) Hijack the topic. There is an old trick that politicians use when they're being interviewed on TV,
and once you realize this, you can use it yourself. They think of questions ahead of time (or topics to
discuss), prepare some talking points, and talk about those, despite the topic or question they're
given. This is a handy trick when you're facing a hard question or asked to discuss a topic with which
you're unfamiliar.

5.) Remember you're in charge of this time. Your goal is to deliver a one-sided conversation, off
the cuff, so you are in complete control. Relax and make it your own. If you want to make this a funny
story about your pesky little brother who always bothers you during homework time, then do it.
Everyone will applaud your effort. Time requirement is 1 minute construction of thoughts and 3-4
minutes delivery. Any time overlap will merit 1 point deduction in every 30 seconds time co-version.

6. ) Feel free to acknowledge that you have not prepared for a speech. If you are speaking in
front of friends or family, it may ease your nervousness to express your lack of preparation. This
should not be an attempt to garner pity, but rather a way to put yourself and your audience at ease.
Then, take a deep breath before you begin speaking. Zone out the audience or choose someone
specific to focus on, whichever makes you more comfortable.

7.) Begin with your introductory sentence, elaborate, and then start working your way to your
ending sentence. Fill in the middle space with as many points as you can, elaborating on each one
as you go. Just concentrate on the zinger you've reserved for the end.

8.) As you deliver your speech, concentrate on diction and tone. If you are thinking about this,
you won't be thinking about the eyes watching you. Your mind can't think about too many things at
once, so think about breathing, enunciating your words, and controlling your tone, and you'll maintain
more control.
