520 _a"Extempore Speech: How to Acquire and Practice It" by William Pittenger is a guidebook for developing the skill of extemporaneous speaking, written in the late 19th century. The book is aimed at individuals seeking to enhance their public speaking abilities, particularly focusing on speaking without prior preparation or scripts. It provides a framework for understanding the nuances of spontaneous speech and the methods necessary for effective delivery. The opening of the work establishes the author's credentials and his belief in the teachability of eloquence. Pittenger discusses the skepticism surrounding the study of oratory and argues against the notion that eloquence can only come naturally. He outlines the essential skills and preparations that can aid individuals in mastering public speaking, emphasizing that confidence can be gained through practice and understanding. The introduction also suggests that genuine, effective discourse lies between reading written speeches and casual conversation, with an appeal for practical exercises aimed at overcoming initial fears of public speaking.
