Just when you think you've completed everything to guarantee that delivering your best man speech and toast will be successful, you are all of a sudden engulfed by fear of speaking in public.
Public speaking is something studied. This is very similar to riding a bicycle, or playing the guitar or any instrument. What one must receive is the right direction and some practice.
How will you be able to overcome this fear of speaking in front of a crowd when you present your wedding speech on that anticipated event? Here are tried and tested tips you can easily apply:
Preparation Stage
Start by reading great samples of wedding speeches and toasts catered for any best man's desires. You will know immediately which type of samples you need. These wedding speech and toast samples must contain stories anybody can connect with easily. Check also if these have a good mix of humor, substance and feelings.
Furnish a list. You should finish your preparation by furnishing a list of individuals you want to acknowledge during the wedding itself. It is good also if you have an outline of your special message. You can put these on a piece of paper or on cue cards. Make sure these are easily accessible.
During the Event
Position yourself strategically. You have to be in a spot where it won't be tough for you to take the microphone and start speaking. And surely, you also do not want to be situated in a spot where you can't distinctly hear the emcee of the program.
Be mindful about the wedding program. Don't be caught offguard or when your mouth is full. It also won't help very much if you're spending most of your time chattering with everyone, as you tempt others not to be aware of the program, too.
