Wedding Fair Season

Wedding Fair Season - London and Birmingham. And I have missed out again. My timing this year has been terrible!

However I have had a couple of clients who came first to the Professional Speaking Open Courses at Vestry House Museum, E17 and then followed up with a few individual sessions so they could shine at their respective engagements in their particular roles. And it worked!

Preparation is very definitely the key when making a speech at a wedding. That and not getting drunk before you make it of course. Alcohol really does lead to disaster. Best men who have had one too many are prone to make bad jokes, spoil the punchlines, and upset relatives. First it will be the mother of the bride, then the grandparents, and then anyone else who appears in the stories. 

If you can hold off till a bit later on, having honed and practised your speech, you will make everyone happy and your star will shine. Remember you have to pause to breathe so you have to punctuate and, if at all possible given your nerves, do smile. Everyone will feel glad not to be you and glad you are enjoying yourself.

If you have something coming up and want help I do have a course in London on the 21st October.  See www.resonancevoice.com/opencourses
