Impromptu Speech

Professor, Phd Hiro Nagai

 What is the Impromptu Speech?
One type of the public speaking
generally have a short preparation
time, with the actual speech lasting
about three to five minutes.
Impromptu speeches are mostly
seen in international conference,
executive speech or toastmaster.
 7 tips for
the successful impromptu speech
 1. Grab a pen and a piece of paper
Find a pen and any piece of paper around
you, such as a memo, an envelope, a coaster
or (your) business card.
 2. Write three points
a. Introduction
b. 3 points to back up your introduction
b. Conclusion
 3. Remember, you’re totally
in charge of the time
Your goal is to deliver a one-sided conversation
(no question will be addressed to your speech),
so you are in complete control. Relax and make
it your own.
 4. Use personal stories
If you tell your personal story, you’ll find that
it is much easier to speak without preparation
because the event happened to you.
 5. Go Slowly!
Hurrying will increase any feelings of
unease you have. Take your time. Breath
deeply. Get from your chair slowly. Walk to
the front calmly.
 6. Take your time to begin
Look around, smile, Make eye contact
with one or two people in the room.
 7. Talk Conversationally
Assume your impromptu speaking is a
conversation with a friend. This will keep
your language natural and flowing.

 1. Never say “Sorry”
If you speak a word of apology, it will
transmit your anxiety to your audience.
 2. Remember the power of the pause
You may think you’ve stopped for an eternity,
but it’s seldom perceived that way by the
audience. They will think you are considering
your next statement or giving them time to
think your previous point.
 3. Paraphrase what you’ve already said
It will refresh your memory into providing the
next point you want to say.
