https://www.gutenberg.org/ebooks/66125I am constantly asked to make suggestions for developing alertness of mind and facility in formulating one's thoughts while actually addressing an audience.
I know of nothing more effective for this purpose than daily practise in impromptu speaking as described in this book. In hundreds of instances the results of this simple exercise have been little less than wonderful, not only in stimulating mental quickness, but also in developing resourcefulness, concentration, and self-confidence.
The rules for successful impromptu speaking are, tersely, these:
1. Think clearly.
2. Express yourself clearly.
3. Be yourself.

I'd love to do this, but I've got a year to go for copyright where I am.

Yes, PD for life +70 in January 2024. *grump*
But it's nice and short, some 12000 words, so it would be perfect for a beginner's solo.
Or multiple versions.
