=== Excellent impromptu speeches (54 - 60) === ;Invention: Excellent speakers tie the support, main points, and thesis together clearly and succinctly. Excellent speakers discuss targeted main points that are neither too broad/vague, nor too specific to sustain supporting examples and discussion. The main points are specific to the thesis; that is, the main points speak to this specific agent with this specific mandate. The supporting examples elaborate on the main points and provide greater context and detail. When discussing the examples, the excellent speaker is able to bring in the ideas and language of main point and the thesis statement. ;Arrangement: Excellent speakers deliver speeches that are easy to flow. The main points are phrased powerfully and memorably. The speaker’s arrangement-talk (highlighting the main points and support) is clear and sounds natural. They are performing the major breaks between the sections of their speeches nonverbally as well (longer pause breaks, movement, etc.). Excellent speeches are easy to flow because the speakers highlight the organization, and because the organizational patterns are logical. ;Style and Delivery: Excellent impromptu speeches are easy to listen to. The speakers appear confident and speak with plenty of projection and vocal variety. They use pauses, rate and pitch changes, as well as other delivery devices to help the audience distinguish between high and low priority sentences and ideas. Excellent speeches appear well prepared and have good pacing (in that the speeches are neither rushed nor plodding). Excellent speakers maintain good eye contact with the entire audience.
