Kinds of Speech
INPUT
Impromptu Speech
Time differentiate impromptu speech from other types of speech. When you are called to
deliver an impromptu speech, you have limited preparation time. On-the-spot or impromptu
speaking is indeed a challenge.
Strategies
1. Use a virtual outline to structure your talk or response. Below are some examples:
a. Past, Present, Future
Example: In the past, I was not comfortable doing impromptu speaking because I
could not think right away of what to say maybe because of nervousness and limited
preparation time. At present, however, I am enjoying it because I constantly practice
and keep on participating in any speaking situation. In the future, I look forward to
teaching others how to tackle impromptu speech situation.
b. Point-Reason-Example/Explanation-Point
Example:
Point: I love Facebook
Reason: Two reasons are: it helps me easily reconnect with old
friends and it makes me more updated of the
happenings around me.
Example/Explanation: Through Facebook, I am able to contact my old friends
in other countries, and reminisce about wonderful
memories of the past. It is such a joy to reconnect with
them. Also, through posts on Facebook, I keep abread
of the current events, which have implications for my
role as a citizen of this nation.
Point: Facebook, indeed, is a useful social network site. That
is why I love it.
c. Opening, Rule of three, Clincher

Example:
Opening: Every time I see homeless families, it breaks my heart.
That is why I have been inspired in doing three little
things to help alleviate the poor conditions of these
families.
Rule of Three: First, I feature them in my writings which I submit to
editors for publication. I highlight their sad and bad
experiences living in the streets as well as their
dreams and aspirations in life. Second, I actively
participate in organizing and facilitating livelihood
programs for them. Finally, I join the series of
campaigns and awareness activities on fighting
poverty by different non-profit organization.
Clincher: These three are my baby steps toward achieving my
vision of freeing this nation from the bondage of
poverty.
2. Keep your speech brief and to the point.

3. Do not apologize or say “So sorry, I’m not really good at giving impromptu
speeches,” or “I’m sorry I don’t know what to say. I have no idea.” Avoid saying
something that will affect your credibility as a speaker.
4. If you need time to process what to say, begin by greeting your audience.
Acknowledge their presence and thank them for coming to the presentation.
5. Read. Read a lot so you are always well-informed of the happenings and
knowledgeable about any topic.
6. Create or recreate a story. In this sense, use your imagination and make up a story.
7. Speak slowly and clearly. Take a deep breath and stay calm.
