Question

to ensure plenty of spontaneity and flexibility in a speech, a speaker should keep rehearsal to a minimum.

Answer 1

Last time, I urged for more spontaneous public conversation and unscripted statements as a way to end the post.

Several readers responded to this appeal for spontaneity by writing in to ask how one may "learn to improvise." Should we not plan as much and instead focus on being more spontaneous if speaking "off the cuff" makes us appear honest and genuine?

Even though I had intended to write on something quite different this week, these inquiries brought me back to this subject. I'll thus attempt to clarify the connection between preparation and the capacity to vary from one's "script" in this post and maybe the one after that.

I would like to make two issues clear in relation to my opinions on improvisation.

To start, I want to be clear about how I'm using the phrase. I'm referring about improvisation, which is the ability to change one's planned statements in response to the situation, especially while interacting with the audience. This kind of spontaneity occurs when a speaker is comfortable enough with the speech to decide to modify the intended wording or take a new direction mid-speech, as Martin Luther King did in his "I have a dream" address. This phenomena is distinct from what I refer to as pure improvisation. Naturally, when I discuss public speaking, I do not mean the kind of Pure improvisation in "improv theatre," in which actors make up scenes on the fly using just audience members' random thoughts and phrases with no prior planning.

My second explanation is as follows: The type of improvisation I recommend for speakers only occurs when the orator has mastered the subject at hand via several hours of deliberate preparation. The finest improvisers I've encountered were typically the presenters who prepared the most in- depthly.
