Mode of delivery (how you express yourself verbally and non-verbally) Impromptu: without advance preparation (adv: natural, maximize eye contact, freedom of movement and speech; disadv: limited time to make decisions, anxiety can be high, limited supporting material) Extemporaneous: outline or set of notes to guide you (disadv: increased anxiety for content that was not covered; adv: more preparation, seems spontaneous, adapt to audience feedback) You can mix and match your delivery methods.
