Event Description:
Impromptu speaking is an individual event that involves a five to seven minute speech with a characteristically short preparation time of one to two minutes. The speaker is most commonly provided with their topic in the form of a quotation, but the topic may also be presented as an object, proverb, one-word abstract, or one of the many alternative possibilities. While specific rules and norms vary with the level of competition, the speeches tend to follow basic speech format, and cover topics that are both humorous and profound.
