Giving an Extempore Lecture or Talk Structuring your speech Sticking to ‘4 Points’ • One of the biggest mistakes speakers make is trying to say too much. A speech is a golden opportunity, so you want to say all you can. • The problem is, the more points you make, the less likely the audience is to remember what you say.
Structuring speech • It’s much better to limit yourself to four points and hammer them home. • Ideally, the first two or three points should add up to your last point.
Tips for giving a good extempore speech Prepare ahead of time by reading a lot about current events. Stick to the topic. The more you keep to the actual topic the more impressive you will be. Mind Mapping : For an extemporaneous speech it's best not to write the whole speech out.
Immediately identify your strongest emotional response to the topic & try to build on that. • Ask yourself how the topic directly affects you, then those around you, then the world as a whole. • The emotion will help set the tone.
Tips for giving a good extempore speech • Treat it like an essay. • Have an opening paragraph. • Try to have something pithy as your first line to get the attention of audience. • Conclude by summarizing the topic . • If you can, coming up with something punchy to finish off with. • Practice a lot.
