Giving effective Wedding Speeches

Yes. it's true.. there is one very important simple "How To" we can address. In fact this one overriding "How To" can transform your wedding speeches however we cant ignore the basics of learning and practicing, these must be implemented.

Let's face it none of us can dream up experience we need to get off our rear end and do.

Before I get into the "How To", I think we should cover some of the physical basics I mentioned so you have good ideas to act on ,of what and how you need to be aware of when speaking. Here are 8 things that show with George in the Photo to guide you to success & fame...

1) He's not reading his speech so he has done his homework and prepared his material properly

2) Because he doesn't have to read notes his hands could be shaking and we wouldn't know.

3) In fact he's holding the mic lightly with both hands to steady his hands showing no tension and he has it placed in the right place in front of his mouth to gain the best effect

4) He is standing comfortably and with good posture so he can relax, breath deeply and there fore project his voice to speak clearly

5) The combination of the above allows him the look out on the audience and connect with various individuals, this sets up a repore with those in the area of his vision.

6) He's properly dressed and groomed, this gives him that air of confidence because it makes him feel confident which in turn flows onto his delivery in a very positive way.

.
7) He's sober and clear headed. this didn't last after the wedding speeches were done however it paid dividends for the duration of the speaches

8) Because he was relaxed and had the audiences full attention his delivery was acclaimed as the best of the day. Do you think he thought the effort was worth it?

Good News! Let's look at the "How To".

Let's take you back to the time you were first asked to give wedding speeches and think of what your thoughts were. What was your attitude? Have you been running all the' what if's' through your head? Were your thoughts about 'what if something goes wrong'. The professional speaker thinks 'what if something goes right'.

Everything has an opposite, left has a right, top has a bottom, Up has a down and so on. You chose which one you want. It's that simple, so have some fun with this.

Yes, it's true... you can choose, I said it was simple and it can be easy with a little practice, change your thoughts from what are all the things that could happen "bad", to what are all the things that could happen "good". It really is that simple, so have some fun with this.

Ahoy There
