Event Description:
Extemporaneous speaking is a method of delivery where a speaker prepares and practices a speech extensively, but delivers it using only brief notes with keywords or phrases, rather than a fully written script or memorization. This approach allows for a conversational and flexible delivery, enabling speakers to adapt to their audience and connect more naturally, much like a spontaneous but structured conversation. While it requires significant preparation, the final speech is delivered "off the cuff," relying on the speaker's depth of knowledge and ability to think on their feet.
