I have to give a speech atmy best friends wedding. I don't want to though. MAkes me nervous just thinking about it. I'm pretty sure I'm gonna end up swearing a lot too cause I do that when I get emotional.
 
Hmmm...used to give Motivational Speeces professionally...don't mind them much at all...

I got a degree in speech com about 800 years ago. Number one thing to do to avoid looking like an idiot is to prepare, prepare, prepare...

Nowadays I live in a van down by the river.
 
Gymtime is right, if you have your shit prepared, and know exactly what you are going to say, its MUCH easier. Thats the only way I can give a speech without looking like an idiot. Practice also helps.

OH SHIT! Thats funny as hell. I have my undergrad in Speech Communications as well. Then I went to Law School. Now I sell software, LMAO!
 
I started a similar thread a few months back. Do a search on "presentations," There was some good advice given.
 
The best way to prepare for public speaking is to just wing it.
Get up there and do a lot of distracting hand motions and yell a lot.
Wear glitter, again, it helps distract people from what you are saying.
Also, it is good to picture yourself naked, and taking a huge dump on the people in the front row.
That will help take your mind off of the angry hoards that are out there mentally mocking you, wishing you would just shut up so that they could leave and go home and take a shower from how dirty they feel after having had to sit in the same large room as you exist for mere minutes.

Also, know that most people just nod and look around, their minds a near total blank. They think of what they are going to do that night, they think about the people around them - the back of the head of the person in front of them.

If all else fails, single out someone from the crowd and ask pointed questions - this always helps lighten the load off of your shoulders by dumping off the pressure onto that poor slob.

Practice, relax, walk around if you can. Tell a joke, if and ONLY if it is a good one that will be taken the right way. Smile and dress NICE.

Relax...and really just don't care at all...

Don't laugh - Dale Carnegie's Public Speaking, although outdated and full of weird comments, is actually quite a good guide to giving speeches.
 
Go Nekkid. That way you wont be noted as the guy who gave a shitty speach. Just the naked guy who shocked most everyone. Exepct for phillipie, the transexual cross dresser from brazil who thinks you are the coochie coochie boy of his dreams.
