For example, if the topic is "quantum physics" and you don't know it, you can talk about the complexity of the universe or human curiosity.

The value lies in the fluency and confidence of delivery, rather than the academic precision of the improm ptu content. It is a gymnasium for mental quickness and void management.

Simulation of social situations

For added realism, you can pretend to be having a phone conversation or answering a question in a meeting.

You can record a videotape faking a call to ask for information or solve a fictitious problem.

This helps to assess whether conversational tone and body language are congruent and natural when there is no pre-established script.

Honesty in self-assessment is crucial: Was composure maintained? Did the voice tremble? Were consistent gestures used? If the speaker is comfortable speaking alone but is blocked in front of others, this simulation bridge helps transfer the confidence of pr
