The Extemporaneous Method of Delivery This method is described as the most effective one. It is based on: · thorough preparation; · memorizing the main ideas; · abbreviating the manuscript to a number of key words and phrases. Advantages: · this method allows you great flexibility (you are not fixed on the exact wording èyou are free to extemporize depending on the feedback from the audience); · with this method it is easy to be natural; · this method comes closest to ‘enlarged conversation’, which is an ideal form of public speaking; · your physical freedom (you are not tired to the scriptèyou can move freely, use body language and interact with the audience).
