Good Afternoon!
In chapter 12, the topic about selecting a delivery method for your speech caught my attention. It surprised me there existed actual methods of delivering speeches and each had its own description. The method of impromptu, or speaking with out preparation, took me by surprise. I always thought somebody who did not practice there speech or prepare for it was just not doing their work. I had no idea people actually did this on purpose to better themselves at being able to think and speak at the drop of a dime. I can honestly say that when I choose the impromptu delivery method, it is not because I am trying to sharpen my on the spot skills; it is simple me just being lazy and probably procrastinated and did not have time to practice or prepare.

i also found it interesting that not practicing your speech could be considered a way to improve your improv skills... it always seemed like laziness or a cop-out, but to know it is actually an effective tool is very interesting!
