Article posted by: Jeff Jean
Giving a speech can be very terrifying and at the same time amusing, some people have mastered the art of speaking in public and capturing their audience attention, while some are still struggling to spit out the first words of their speech. After some intensive research, I have found that the recipe for success when giving a speech is greatly depended on how stable and relax the orator is mentally.
Wedding is a very exciting event, and with it comes the opportunity for people to express their views toward the couple tying the knots, it can be a very pleasant and fun moment as well as a very embarrassing one too if the person giving the speech is not in the proper mindset.
When preparing for a wedding speech, no matter if you are preparing for a groom speech, bride speech etc, the first thing to think about is that the purpose of a wedding speech is not primarily to impress even though it will come after, but to have fun and to make the people attending the wedding feel like you are hosting a barbecue in your backyard while having fun doing it.
I remember one of the most embarrassing day of my teen life occurred during my performance at a talent contest, I totally humiliated myself by forgetting most of the words of my performance. After the contest I was so pissed off and shocked about my performance that I decided to analyze what went wrong, surprisingly I discover that my biggest mistake was that I was so focused on myself that I ignored the audience, I never even thought of them in rehearsal, so once I got in front of them, I frightened, their sight scared me away, for me they were not part of the speech, my only goal was to impress them which was the wrong way of looking at it because when performing, you are talking, singing or whatever you happen to be doing for the audience and the People in the audience has to relate to what you are saying another for the message to go through. The same lesson can be applied when giving a wedding speech, if you don’t put yourself in the same state of mind as the people attending the wedding, you probably will not entertain them or connect to them.
Preparing for a wedding is all about laughter and telling your personal stories, you speech can be as concise as 5 sentences, as long as those two elements are included in the speech, you will be able to connect to your audience and have a blast on the pulpit.
One very important thing that speakers have to take into consideration is knowing your speech or your story, no matter if you are the president of the US or just a best man. Knowing your speech helps you to connect more to your audience, it makes the speech natural and honest, it also takes a lot of pressure of your back because you know what you are going to say thus putting you in the best mind set possible.
When giving a speech, always prepare thoroughly, know your speech, try to connect to your audience, share your personal stories, be excited and have fun while doing it because after all wedding is a celebration.
