    I'm watching this because tommorow I will have an extemporaneous speech. Im so nervous because I have a stage fright. What if because of so much nervousness I'll get mental-block? I hope it won't happen. 😯😔

    Masters always make it sound easy. I'm greatful that it is learnable. 3,600 words to end up with 600. Printed 4 times because of little changes. Practiced 30 times. Almost there. For me, mastering the process has been more important than making videos. It's like mastering the ground strokes in tennis before playing a game. Thank you coach.

    my professor recommended this video for a high-percentage speech we have due in a couple weeks, and although I don't consider myself especially bad at presenting, this video has the most amazing tips I have ever seen for public speaking! I, more often than not, have a harder time actually starting a speech rather than presenting or even fully writing one, so that speech layout at the beginning is going to come in handy. Thank you so much!

    What I like to do before presenting is prep talking myself then if I can ,I’ll do a few jumping jacks. It makes me feel powerful to speak confidently 😂😂. Also throughout the presentation I’ll focus on breathing and pick people from the audience in my head to look at and I’ll keep switching up. This is to have more control over my eye contact so that I appear more calm and composed.

    There are many components to writing a great speech such as making it funny not boring and not too short One plan I found which succeeds in merging these is the Turbo template tactic (google it if you're interested) definately the most incredible course that I've seen. look at this amazing resource.

      @alexanderlyon  6 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      You got it. Life is not a tight wire, not about perfection. Just progress. If I waited until I really had everything perfect, I'd have never posted a single video. Now I have over 100 videos on the channel and I'm having so much fun with it. I didn't even own a camera two years ago. I'm learning the video side of things as I go. Plus, it's hard to catch my own silly mistakes like typos. I see other people's typos but I have a hard time catching my own. I have heard a lot of people struggle with that. I just do my best, take the feedback, and try to improve the next time around. Side note, I've been to San Francisco about 12 times over the past 5 years to do workshops and consulting and you all have some of the best restaurants I've ever experienced. Some of those places are next-level delicious.

    When I'm speaking in an extempo, I only use information I know. People have these tendencies where they spit out information they're unsure of that may hinder the speaking process

    I will have an extemporaneous tomorrow and our teacher told us to don't bring some notes (any kind of cards). What should I do about this?

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  6 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm not sure what to do. An extemporaneous speech usually means you can use some limited notes. I would ask your teacher for clarification. If you are truly allowed no notes, then I would have my topic sentence of each main point memorized but I would not attempt to memorize everything within each point word for word. As long as you have your basic outline memorized, you'll be able to rely on that if you get stuck. Good luck.

      Just keep working at it. Public speaking is a life-long skill that will benefit you for life. Some presentations will go well, others will not. But, if you keep looking for opportunities to speak, you'll get better over time.

      Communication Coach Alex Lyon Thank You so much for this advice! The competition was yesterday and unfortunately, I didnt win... in the 1st elimination, I was top 1, same thing went for the 2nd one but for the finals (3rd), I wasnt even a medalist which was a bummer and embarassing. Esp since ive been part of the speech fest since my past 2 highschool years (im in 8th grade) but for next year,itll be about debate and even tho its not extempo, i still get to try and be in the finals, speak and voice out my opinions and im aiming for a wimming medal this time and I SWEAR im gonna do my best to win and i wont let nervousness and pressure take over me❤️❤️🙌🏻🙌🏻

    this is not an extemporaneous delivery, this is called speaking naturally. Extemporaneous delivery is absolutely spontaneous and does not require much preparation besides being aware of the main points

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      That’s a common misunderstanding of the word. In the world of public speaking, in textbooks, and in speaking competitions, the word extemporaneous is used to describe prepared speeches that are delivered in a conversational way from limited notes. What you’re describing is called, “impromptu” speaking. With that type of speech, a speaker is not allowed more than a few moments of preparation. They are given a prompt or a question, and they are expected to come up with a speech “off the cuff.”
      The word extemporaneous is not merely about how a speech is delivered, it also has to do with the way of speech is prepared beforehand.

    • @Matt-iy2cf
      @Matt-iy2cf 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      @@alexanderlyon language evolves. If the current understanding is that the word extemporaneous describes speaking from an outline, then embrace it instead of arguing about the definition of the word. There is nothing extemporaneous about being well prepared for the talk.

    • @alexanderlyon
      @alexanderlyon  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      There's no debate here. You're repeating the most common misunderstanding about these two words as they are used to describe public speaking. I hear this all the time.
      Here's the definition from the 2023 instructor's edition of the most popular Public Speaking book in the entire world ( *_The Art of Public Speaking_* , by Stephen Lucas).
      "1. Extemporaneous speeches are carefully prepared and practiced in advance.
      2. They are presented from a set of notes, but the exact wording is chosen at the moment of delivery." (Chapter 13: Delivery).
      In contrast, you described extemporaneous speaking as "absolutely spontaneous," which is incorrect and you say that "there's nothing extemporaneous about being prepared for the talk."
      What you're describing in both posts is called Impromptu speaking.
      The same book describes Impromptu speaking like this:
      "Impromptu speeches are presented with little or no immediate preparation."
      (Chapter 13: Delivery).
      Here's a quotation from the up-to-date and well-sourced Wikipedia page, "Extemporaneous Speaking," that says exactly what Public Speaking books say:
      "When searching [Google] for 'extemporaneous', the person will find that "impromptu" is a synonym for 'extemporaneous"'. However, for speech delivery styles, *_this is not the case_* . An extemporaneous speech is planned and practiced, but when delivered, is not read. Presenters will normally rely on small notes or outlines with key points. This type of delivery style is recommended because audiences perceive it as more conversational, natural, and spontaneous, and it will be delivered in a slightly different manner each time, because it’s not memorized."
      In summary, as the sources above explain, an extemporaneous speech is planned, prepared, and practiced. An impromptu speech is done spontaneously without [much] time to prepare.
      Both, however, are delivered in the moment in a natural conversational style. This leads many people to confuse the two types of speeches.
