- Impromptu Speech, this type of speech is known to be very good, especially used by experienced and skilled speakers. When delivering an impromptu speech, the speaker must first prepare the main points and supporting topics. The advantage of an impromptu speech is better communication between the audience and the speaker because the speaker speaks directly to the audience.
