6 tips for keeping a great wedding speech

I went to a wedding over the weekend, and had the opportunity to be heard by at least 7 contributions were expressed by family and friends of the happy couple. The contents of all the speeches were very friendly and warm, and written from a place of deep concern for the couple. But in terms of how the speeches were made ... well, that's where there are some "cracks in the road" for some of them were.

Of course it is not easy to get up in front of a room of 300People - many of them foreigners - and a speech. I welcome the decision of each speaker, has resulted in this situation and maintain the courage to make a speech.

Wedding Speeches

Some speech had an "edge" to them - they were strong, delivered clear and fun. The others had some "problems" - that could be easily resolved - that would make them still well preserved. So, based on my sample size of 7 interventions wedding, here are six tips on how to give agreat wedding speech, divided into two categories: audio problems and delivery problems.

Audio Issues

By far the most problems were problems of hearing the speakers - there were a lot of "what did he say?" underway. But there was nothing wrong with the audio system. Please note speaker, please contact:

1 Speak into the microphone. Bring it to his mouth, if necessary. Each sound is different, but it is likely that if there is more than 4-5 inches from your mouth, you will not beheard good things from the public.

2 Speak clearly and slowly, and not mumble. In person to person discussions, many of us speak, "under our breath", which means that our voice is lowered and we do not say it all so clear. To understand how difficult the speaker is fast. If we are happy and excited, some of us tend to talk a little 'faster. While this may work with one-on-one conversations, is not whether you have a microphone in hand, and 300 people, the effort that you are listening.Sun slow down and speak clearly.

Delivery Problems

3 The visual contact with all sides of the room while speaking. Yes, we speak - and for - the bride and groom. But do not forget that there is a large audience to hear his speech, and they deserve to be addressed as well.

Soul 4 her smile and energetic, and pretend to be happy to be there (even if you're so nervous to be thrown away).

And do not worry if it was shaking, and paper are to tremble. NotIt is expected to be perfect, and most (if not all) the public will always be there for the credit in the first place. And be sure that there are many people in the audience who is not willing to give a speech as you want. Always.

Finally, a quick word CONTENTS:

Add 5 stories. Everybody loves the stories of the bride and / or groom feel. But choose carefully to your stories and make sure they have a relevant point. Example: "Karen was able to learn afully choreographed dance routine in a few hours as passionate and driven person she is showing. "Make sure that the history of the point you're trying to do on the person.

6 Switches between 2 person ("you") and third person ("John"). If you want to speak directly to groom, feel free to do so, as in "John, I can not believe how lucky you had with this girl." Vary with the speech, the audience to Jon, as in "Who would have believed that Jon would be luckywith a girl so stunning? "This way, you're a conversation with the public and the bride / groom, and everyone feels included.

Giving a wedding speech is not unlike a speech in another place. Remember we're talking about a room full of people, not just the bride and groom. Make a speech, hot stories, full of fun and you have a point. Try hard. And if you do it on stage, be sure to speak loud and clear inMicrophone. Then enjoy the praises of a memorable speech that you get for a long time to get a compliment.
