Building your Confidence in 12 Steps 

1. Expect to be nervous and accept it.
Even the most experienced speakers get nervous. Instead of trying to completely get rid of your fears, turn them into energy you can use to give your delivery a boost. Most of the people at the wedding will feel the same way about giving their own speeches.

2. Prepare first.
When you know exactly what you are going to say and why you want to say it certainly changes everything. (If you try to give a speech without being prepared, you should be nervous because your mind is likely to go blank. This is when people start a speech by saying something like "Good gentlemen evening"

3. Practice in front of others.
Seek out supportive audiences like family and friends to practice in front. The more you do this the easier it gets

4. Breathe in deep and soothing breaths.
In the moments before you begin speaking, take three slow, deep breaths through your nose, filling your belly. As you breathe out, remind yourself to relax.

5. Give yourself affirmations.
Give yourself a pep talk just before you give a speech at a wedding or anywhere else. Tell yourself things like "I can do this" and "If I make a mistake, it's okay because it happens all of the time."

6. Focus on your audience and not yourself.
Most stage fright is rooted in self-preoccupation. Don't ask yourself questions about your performance while you are giving it. Stop focusing on yourself. Focus, instead, on your audience and on what you want to say to them. If you are really concerned about how you sound during a wedding speech just ask your audience. Believe it or not, it is very welcome...
