paration for a speech is critical to its success, whether it be a Best Man Speech or an end of work Resignation Speech. Most people don't take the effort to prepare a speech, thinking they can make one up as they go along. However, very few people have the skills needed to be able to give a speech 'off the cuff'.
Undertaking a Toastmasters course or being trained in the art of public speaking may give you some of the skills required to speak without any preparation, however behind the scenes prior to one can almost guarantee some preparatory work was done. Even reporters on tv use teleprompter machines which have everything they need to say displayed in front of them, right next to the camera.
To be successful, a speech must have some thought and groundwork done before it is due to be spoken.
You may well have spent a lot of time putting pen to paper or typing away at your computer, so you can work through your speech word for word but, before you go any further please wait.
Having a speech written word for word is okay if you a conducting a university lecture, where the students are expected to take notes as you talk along without interruption,Cool Greys Aluminum Pool Fencing Protecting Your L,Jordan 13, but as you know a Best Man Speech is an entirely different beast!
Forcing yourself to make a best man speech in front of people you know and be able to relate to them individually,Air Jordan Spizike,Jordan Cool Greys GE Service & Appliance Repair, about events in the past with humor and dignity is what the audience wants.
It is quite hard, in fact almost not really achievable with a word for word speech. This is because it takes a considerable amount of energy and senses to speak aloud the words written in front of you. Trying to make eye contact with the guests while reading a full speech from a sheet of paper usually concludes with the speaker loosing track of their position on the page.
It can be very embarrassing for this to happen to a speaker.
The answer to this is to use 'cue cards'. Cue cards are about the size of playing cards and ideally will fit neatly into the palm of your hand. It's easy to make them from thin cardboard, cut with scissors to the correct size.
Each item of interest from the speech should be noted on the cards making sure nothing is left to chance.
When your best man speech has been completed and the main topics noted on your cue cards, you now need to spend some time and practice your speech.
Rehearsing your speech beforehand not only helps in building assurance but allows you to modify it or add anecdotes you may have forgotten about.
Imperative to Rehearsing your speech is making sure you have someone with you who you can trust. They can give you honest feedback, things that might require alteration or adjustment. They can also give you reassurance which aids your confidence, knowing that when the wedding day comes, you have already spent a considerable amount of time getting the best man speech perfect.
Best Man Speeches are not designed to take a long time. Nothing could be worse than a best man speech that waffles on for too long. The crowd begin to show signs of boredom, yawning, fidgeting, heckling which ultimately leads to embarrassment of not only the best man but the bride and groom.
Make your speech brief but not too brief. A good time is 5 or 6 minutes and should cover all of the duties and tasks that are involved with the speech.
Your best man speech should be funny to keep your audience amused. Remembering past occurances of humor involving the groom is crucial for the success of your speech. It is also paramount to make sure you 'keep it clean'. X-rated content in your speech should be steered clear of because nearly all weddings have a wide range of people from the very young to the elderly. Catering your speech in the direction of your drunken friends shows some immaturity on your part.
Best Man Speeches should always include the positive effect the bride has had on the groom, a before and after situ |
