Impromptu Speaking is exactly what it sounds like: delivering a speech in an impromptu manner ;)
Typically, a person is given a topic that could be about anything (a quote, proper name, proverb, news event, movie title, etc.), are allowed a certain amount of time to prep (2-3 minutes is standard to write a quick outline on a note card), and then they immediately deliver a speech with only the note card as reference. It's the art of thinking fast on your feet perfected.

Manuscript is when you read from a teleprompter. Impromptu is when you give a speech without a paper or memorizing it beforehand.
Some different types of speaking include informative speaking, persuasive speaking, impromptu speaking, and ceremonial speaking. Informative speaking aims to educate or instruct the audience about a specific topic. Persuasive speaking seeks to influence the audience's beliefs or actions. Impromptu speaking involves delivering a speech without prior preparation, often in a spontaneous setting. Ceremonial speaking is used in formal events to commemorate a special occasion or honor someone.
The extemporaneous style of speaking lies midway between reading a prepared text and impromptu delivery.

Impromptu speaking involves delivering a speech without prior preparation, while extemporaneous speaking allows some preparation time (usually 30 minutes) before giving a speech. Impromptu speeches rely more on the speaker's ability to think quickly and react in the moment, while extemporaneous speeches allow for a more structured and thought-out response.
