Extemporize

Extemporize

<ex-stemp-por-rise>

improvise; ad lib; invent;

performing something without rehearsing it

He can extemporize a song and make it up as he goes.

Memory trick:
extemporize reminds of temporary or short
we perform it after a temporary study

Used at work:
I will extemporize my speech because I did not read it.
