Is a speech that a person delivers

without predetermination or
preparation. The speaker is most
commonly provided with their topic in
the form of quotation, but the topic
may also be presented as an object,
proverb, one-word abstract, or one of
the many alternative possibilities.
IMPROMPTU means;
Extemporaneous
Preposterous
Incandescent
Disenfranchised
THERE ARE FEW THINGS YOU CAN DO TO
AVOID PANIC AND EMBARRASSMENT
WHILE DOING A SPEECH
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 write on, whether
it’s a envelope, on the back of the
receipt, paper, or on your hand and write
down a few thoughts. Keep in mind, your
speech doesn’t have to be long.
A little-known fact about effective
speeches is that if you start 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 or to
your topic. If you can walk away gracefully,
your speech will be hit, so keep your big
zinger for last.
Try to memorize key points. If you
have time before your speech,
create an outline of the major
theme or points and commit it to
memory with a memorization trick,
like an acronym. Don’t try to
remember the entire speech. Just
remember the important points.
GRAMMAR TIPS
Begin with your introductory
sentence, elaborate, 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.
As you deliver your speech,
concentrate on your 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.
WHAT TO DO IF YOU DRAW A
BLANK
If you suddenly lose your train of thought
or draw a complete blank, there are a few you
can do to keep from panicking

Pretend you’re pausing on purpose. Walk


back and forth slowly, as if your letting your
last point to sink in.
Make eye contact and try to draw a response
from him or her while you think.
If you need more time to think, you may
want to ask the audience a questions “Can
you here me okay?”. If you can’t remember
what you are going to say, make up a reason
to pause the speech. You can say “I’m sorry,
but my throat is dry. Can I please get a glass
of water?”. Someone will go to get you a
drink, and you will have time to think of two
or three points to talk about.
If those tricks don’t appeal to you,
think of your own. The goal is to have
something ready for every possible
scenario ahead of time. If you know
you may be asked to give an
impromptu speech soon, try going
through the entire preparation process
with a few common speech topics.
