extemporaneous speaking

Extemporaneous speaking is a style of oral presentation where the speaker delivers a well-prepared speech with the flexibility to adapt as needed. It involves planning and practicing the content beforehand, but the delivery is more natural and spontaneous than reading from a script. This method allows the speaker to connect more effectively with the audience through conversational tone, eye contact, and subtle adjustments in response to the audience's reactions. It’s commonly used in debates, presentations, and competitions, balancing preparation with the ability to think on one's feet for a confident and engaging delivery.
