The thing w/ public speaking is that you have to be prepared. My bombed the **** outta a public speech one. Probably the most embarrassed I'll ever be for someone. Anyway, it didn't sit w/ her b/c it embarrassing af, so it motivated her to improve. Now if she has the information she's good. Phoenix ****.i think the first thing we need to address and agree on is that the people hate public speaking & are afraid of doing it. reading off something gives a person more confidence to speak & in order to not do that requires a lot of time and effort.
next time when someone reads off something (there's more than one type of speech during a wedding btw), go ask them about it. of course, there is a variety of reasons why someone might read off something to give a speech but the minority of them do it because they worry about not capturing everything they planned to (i would argue those are the ones who typically have notes with them).
The best way to perfect a speech at least for me is to write short meaningful bullet points to cover the most important stuff & ease into each other w/ the little details in between; like 2 or 3 13 worded sentences. People be tryna read the whole terms and conditions; nobody benefits from that b/c you're reading some **** you don't really know word for word, & your audience is zoned out bored.
some of the others in the class were mad af
