The video explains: 1. Impromptu speeches are speeches delivered without prior preparation, often in situations where you are asked to speak unexpectedly. 2. Examples of impromptu speaking scenarios include exchanging opinions in business meetings, answering questions in interviews, and speaking at social functions or birthday celebrations. 3. Impromptu speaking is an important skill to master despite its intimidating nature. 4. PREP (Point, Reason, Example, Point) is a useful tool for delivering impromptu speeches, as it engages different types of listeners, balances logical and emotional elements, and ensures clarity and persuasiveness in your speech. 5. Another method for impromptu speaking is the STAR method (Situation, Task, Action, Result), which helps you structure your response by providing context, describing your task, explaining your actions, and detailing the results of your actions.
