Impromptu and Extemporaneous Speaking Techniques

The video tutorial discusses two common types of speech delivery: impromptu and extemporaneous. Impromptu speaking involves delivering a message with little to no preparation, often used in situations where time is limited. It is a skill that can be improved with practice, such as through random word exercises. Extemporaneous speaking, on the other hand, allows for preparation and uses limited notes, offering a more conversational approach. The video emphasizes the importance of choosing the right style based on the situation and provides resources for further practice.
