9 how to cope with speech wedding nerves

If you are not used to speaking in public, then making a wedding speech can be quite daunting. With this in mind, I have prepared some important tips to help you overcome your nerves and deliver a great wedding speech.

1. Remember these people are on your side. They do not secretly hope you'll mess up everything. The reason you are there to give a speech is because you connect with people there, and so was the audience. Bearing this in mind, you can rest assured that whatever you say in your wedding speech will be listened to and respected fully.

Also, people who listen to the speech at a wedding want to laugh when this breaks the tension. So every effort vague on the joke will get a response.

2. practice your wedding speech thoroughly. The more exercise, less nervous you will feel on the actual day. Remember to practice your voice intonation and pauses. By showing you have been working to your preparations, every mistake you can make on a day to be forgiven easily.

3. Learn your speech by heart. If you have some spare time, in the car on the way to work, in the bathroom or anywhere else ... practice your speech. Repeat over and over again as many times as you can before the big day. You will feel much more calm on the big day because you'll know the whole speech inside out.

4. Remember to breathe. As simple as this sounds, it is often overlooked. Practice where you will take a deep breath speech, and learn to breathe properly. Diaphragmatic breathing, as used by singers and public speakers, will help you here. If you are not familiar with it, a quick search on Google will show you.

5. Think of a funny story before you stand up. Nothing is so funny that you lose your focus, but something rather titillating that will bring a smile to your face. It will refresh you and give good energy to your wedding speech that will improve the delivery of highly.

6. have a banana 20 minutes before you make your speech. This tip is often used by professional public speakers, and helped a lot of people nervous. It also gives a nice boost of energy that helps reduce your nerves.

7. speak slowly and clearly. If you are nervous, you will feel the urge to accelerate and your speech will be unclear. So try to consciously slow down yourself and speak clearly so people can hear what you say.

8. make eye contact with people in the audience so that it feels like you're just chatting with everyone there.

9. Finally, remember to just enjoy yourself! Your life will not end if you make a few mistakes ... and it will be over in a few minutes. Have fun!
