One of the most important aspects of delivering a successful impromptu or extemporaneous speech is being able to adjust your speech in real-time based on the audience's reaction. Furthermore, impromptu speeches are typically more effective for persuasive speaking while extemporaneous speaking is ideal for formal presentations.
