The fear of public speaking, or Glossophobia, is believed to affect up to 75% of the population. So when your sister, best friend or daughter tells you that they want you to do a speech at their wedding and you’d rather stay at home and pull out your toenails with a pair of pliers, you're not alone.But rather than adhering to the “fake it until you make it” principle, Beth Sherman believes that being honest and self-aware is actually a funnier and more smart approach for your speech.Beth is a stand-up comedian, multi-Emmy award-winning comedy writer and the founder of Authentically Funny Speeches, where to date she's ghost-written more than 300 wedding speeches.Today Beth is going to share with you:how to reframe how you think about speeches,what an engaged couple can do to help their speakers,how to stop your voice from shaking, andwhy you need to get rid of the mic the second after you’ve done the speech.RESOURCESFor 10% off any of Beth’s speech writing packages, use the code UNBRIDELY at checkout.
