SPCH275 Public Speaking

Week 8 Assignment

Presentation 4 Impromptu Speech

Your last presentation is a short speech (2 to 4 minutes) that should demonstrate your skill in public speaking. Presentational aids are optional for this speech but are not required.

You may use this opportunity to try using the impromptu delivery style rather than the extemporaneous. There will be many moments in your work career, starting with the actual job interview, where critical thinking on one's feet will be required. The impromptu delivery style is good practice for these moments when you are asked to report at a meeting or have to speak spontaneously about work experience or what you can contribute to a certain company, position, team, and so forth. Impromptu speaking requires the same skills of organization that you would use in an extemporaneous speech, but most of it is delivered with little or no opportunity for practice ahead of time.

Your Impromptu Speech is one of the special occasion speeches that you have learned about this week—a commemorative speech. In your commemorative speech, reflect on your achievement in this public speaking class, pay tribute to the support and collaboration among classmates and the instructor that you experienced, and talk about what you have learned about public speaking and the progress you have made toward becoming a more confident public speaker. Tell us your next steps for continuous public speaking improvement.

Try to relax and have fun with this speech. It's the last one, and you have come a long way; show what you can do. Remember to maintain eye contact without reading the Impromptu Speech to the audience.

No outline is required for this speech.

Watch this video to learn the tools you need to present a well-organized, confident Impromptu Speech.

Video Recording Options: Kaltura Capture (under My Media) is recommended for recording and submitting your on-camera commemorative speech. A YouTube video recording is another option. Although submitting a cell phone video is acceptable, it is not ideal unless the recording is high quality. Check to confirm that the link to your recording is a shareable link that works!

Review your speech to ensure that it meets the grading rubric criteria.
