Spontaneous speech events, as their name implies, are performed on the fly. If you have so much on your mind that you always have something constructive to say, spontaneous events will be perfect for you! Impromptu SpeakingPlatform and interpretation doesn’t seem to interest you? How about Impromptu? This event is great for everyone because it covers the basic speaking as well as unrehearsed performance skills. For this event, you do not know your topic beforehand. Instead, you pick three topics randomly (can be abstract, concrete, current events, or quotes) and get 2 minutes to prepare. After that, you get to show off either your wealth of random knowledge or your ability to think on your feet in a 5 minute speech.Extemporaneous (Extemp.)This event is much like Impromptu except it tends to be more serious. Topics are current events and if you are interested and keep up with them, this event is for you. National Extemp. is based off of U.S. issues and Foreign Extemp. is based off of issues in other countries. For this event, you will be given 30 minutes to prepare (huge boxes filled with current events and other such information can be taken with you for this event) and 7 minutes to present.ResourcesRestricted AccessSorry, you need an account to see our resources.
