unrehearsed
Done without preparation
Unrehearsed means done without prior practice or preparation.
An unrehearsed speech is delivered spontaneously.
Unrehearsed testimony hasn't been coached or scripted.
The word often carries positive connotations of authenticity—an unrehearsed moment captured on film suggests genuine emotion rather than performance.
