An impromptu speech is an unexpected speech given with little to no preparation time. Some strategies for delivering an effective impromptu speech include expressing an opinion on the topic, addressing the causes and effects, breaking the topic into components, or discussing the past, present, and future of the issue.

What is improptu speech?
⮚ Most of us don’t think or worry about giving impromptu speeches until
we’ve been put on the spot — and by then, it's too late. Consider some of
the possible scenarios when you may be called upon, unexpectedly, to
offer a few remarks or to give an impromptu speech: In business, at a
meeting or a conference, you may be asked to speak on a topic or stand in
for someone who, for whatever reason, is unable to speak.
⮚ In social settings such as a wedding or a commemoration, you may be
asked to say a few words or even offer a toast. This atmosphere may be
more casual and the stakes may not be as high, but this is no excuse for a
lousy performance.
⮚ Our goal here is not to guide you into making a stirring, memorable
speech that will inspire the generations. Because an impromptu speech is
unexpected, and because it will likely only last a few minutes, your more
reasonable goal — and the one we’ve aimed for in the following steps — is
to get the speech done without embarrassing yourself.

“Whispering Games”

student into two groups . The back student read
your sentence then whisper it to the front on and
continue until reach the upfront student. The

Some strategies of preparing and delivering an
impromptu speech:

❖Remember your audience. Always make eye-contact with them. Not only will this
help the audience not fall asleep, but it will also make you more confident. If you
can't look at their eyes, look at their foreheads.
❖Try and get the audience involved. If you've ever had to listen to someone who
mumbles through the whole thing, doesn't look up, and is just plain boring, you
know how horrible that is. Try and get your audience pumped up.
❖Try and twist your topic. If you get a topic about something that you can't relate
to, try and morph it into something that's only vaguely related, but still related
enough to make sense.
❖Incorporate humor. Have a humor quotient! Make people laugh and they will
automatically get involved. If you're not sure about your joke or if it's racist or can
hurt someone's sentiments then stay away from it.
❖Be confident about yourself. Chest out, back straight, eyes ahead. It will give you
an air of significance and make you a little intimidating, as well.
