Nothing is more embarassing than doing a public speech and fluffing your words, or worse - forgetting them. It reflects bad on you yourself as well as whatever it is you are representing, so remaining calm, being properly prepared, and really honing your public speaking skills can go a long way to improving your public speaking skills. Great article. Public speaking can be very intense, and it really does pay off to be well prepared, as your article really hits home.

Talking with a group of friends could be classed as Public Speaking and yes in the UK - the best man has to give a speech as well. Most people do think job, large audience when public speaking but it's not always true. What about an interview - that could be classed as public speaking as well. Andrew Roger,

Talking with a group of friends could be classed as Public Speaking and yes in the UK – the best man has to give a speech as well.

Most people do think job, large audience when public speaking but it’s not always true.

What about an interview – that could be classed as public speaking as well.

I was the best man in a friends wedding AND in my brothers wedding, and here in Norway the best man HAVE to have a speach. For my friends wedding, at one point I was thinking of getting into a minor car accident or something, just so I`d get away with not having a speach. I sure am glad my job dont involve speaking in front of hundreds of people. Good post, a lot of good tips in there. I just wish I`d read it earlier.. It`s as simple as this: if you have a good enough "plan", you dont have to be nervous. People in control dont get nervous... ;) Gosh, I hate to speak in public like that.
