Okay, I’m not really a Wedding Speech genius. But my friends all think I am. Here’s why…
I really decided I was going to figure this “giving a great speech” thing out…so I started studying.
I talked to one of my friends who happens to be a stand-up comedian (I learned a ton from him!)
I got some magazines, some books, and started reading a lot of web sites about public speaking. Here’s what I found out…
It’s Easier Than You Think!
Turns out giving a good wedding speech is not complicated once you know a few basics.
In fact, it’s way easier than giving a book report in front of the whole class like I had to do in high school!
Some of the reasons are:
• It doesn’t have to be a long speech!
• You can tell a couple jokes
• No one really expects you to be a “professional speaker”
• If you mess up, it’s ok – because it’s a wedding and you’re not being graded!
• And you don’t need to know a lot of public speaking stuff.
That’s the big secret.
In fact, what I discovered was that there are only a few key tricks and tactics that can make you TEN TIMES better at giving a wedding speech once you know them.
