Improvisation
Improvisation is a great technique that helps all speakers become more comfortable speaking on the spot. Sometimes we are given opportunities that allow for little to no time to prepare for a speaking engagement. When these times arise, the experience you can gain from learning to improvise will greatly help you appear calm and confident. According to
