by Andrii Sedniev

An impromptu speech needs to be succinct Usually an impromptu speech is only 1-3 minutes long and you need to be succinct in order to convey your message and to make it crisp. Each word that you say either adds or detracts value from your speech and there is no middle ground. Following the recommendations below will significantly reduce the amount of unnecessary words in your speeches. Avoid filler words Avoid filler words such as “um,” “ah,” “basically,” “you know,” etc. These words just irritate the audience and don’t add any value. If you don’t know what to say or just feel nervous, instead of using a filler word take a pause to give yourself a couple of seconds to think.
