 Ways in Organizing an Impromptu
Speech
Opening—Rule of three—Clincher

Past—Present—Future

Point—Reason—Example
• The rule of three is an effective tool for public speaking because it
taps into the cognitive and emotional processes of your audience. It
simplifies the message by having three main points that are easier to
follow, understand, and remember.

• The rule of three is where three different adjectives are used in

conjunction to impart emphasis and have a real impact. The rule of
three is also sometimes used in descriptive writing as well. It can help
to make your writing stronger and more memorable and prove your
point.
For example:
“Life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness”
“Government of the people, by the people, for the people”
“Friends, Romans, Countrymen”
“Blood, sweat, and tears”
“Location, location, location”
“Father, Son, and Holy Spirit”
“Faith, Hope, and Charity”
“Mind, body, spirit”
 • things you can do to make yourself better at giving impromptu speeches

a. Do not panic. When situations arise

wherein you would have to deliver an
impromptu speech, relax and breathe deeply.
Keep in mind that your listeners do not
expect you to give a perfect speech, since
you have had no time to prepare.
b. Pay attention to other speakers. In
case you are participating in a
discussion or a meeting, be attentive
to what the others are saying. This
way, you will know how to respond
when you are asked to speak.
c. Organize your response. In case you are
responding to a previous speaker, present your
ideas logically by first stating the point you are
responding to. Then, present the point you want
to make. After that, provide supporting details
such as facts, statistics, examples, or reasons.
Lastly, summarize your points or main ideas.
d. Consider the main parts of a
speech. When not responding to a
previous speaker, take note that
your speech should include an
introduction, body, and
conclusion.
e. Use transitional devices. Words
such as first, next, consequently,
furthermore, or last will help you
organize your ideas well. They will
also help the audience keep track of
your points and recognize how your
ideas are connected with one another.
. Keep your speech short. Impromptu
f

speeches are typically short, so

consider the time and mention only
what is necessary. Doing so would
also help the audience keep track of
all your points.
g. Project confidence. You may be
apprehensive but do your best to
appear calm. Make it a point to speak
naturally as well. This way, the
audience will be more likely to
perceive you as confident and
credible.

speaker’s techniques or skills
