My turn is coming up next month & your video appeared in my feed. I've had some training in public speaking and took a couple of speech courses in college, several decades ago. Your breakdown of the various parts/sections of the speech was really helpful. I appreciate the guidance- Thank You.

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

My pleasure, David. If you have any questions, feel free to ask. Good luck!

Thanks Beth my speech went down a storm thanks to you My advice remember to breathe speak slower and clearer than you would normally speak remember to pause for laughs the first minute adrenaline rush is the worst but keep saying to yourself’ I got this ‘ important to get a few laughs in right away to build confidence and get the audience onside ‘ I am the FOB ‘ and raise hands for applause Was terrified of a mic but found it actually helped, people really appreciate real life things that actually happened and not manufactured Remember people are on your side and want the same end result and really do want to hear what you have to say do all this with loads of funnies be upbeat with compassion for your daughter and it will be a triumph and most important get in the zone and lastly practice practice practice

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

@@superwilf788 Fantastic advice! Congrats on nailing your speech, and thanks for sharing your experience with the community!

This was the most helpful information I may have ever received. 75% of the people at the wedding (175 total) stopped me and complemented me on the speech. An experience I'll never forget. Thank you

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

Congratulations! That’s great to hear. Glad it was helpful to you.

[@LearnLutronCaseta]

Beth, thank you, your video was exactly what I needed! I was struggling to put everything together, but after watching this video everything fell into place. You made me look very good last week at my daughter's wedding. Thank you so much!

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

Glad it was helpful and thanks for letting me know! I love hearing how it went.

[@jameswilliams6316]

Thanks, Ronan. Congrats on the wedding! Beth

[@stephenmelchert5091]

I watched a BUNCH of videos trying to craft a good speech. This video is BY FAR the best and most concise out there. It also helps that your humor is in step with mine. I followed your advice to a "T" and the resulting speech came off great! I wasn't nervous, and I received a lot of praise for it, including a wedding venue owner who called it the best father of the bride speech he'd ever heard. Wow, high praise! Was not terribly long, would be happy to share it with you if you're interested.

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

Amazing! Thanks so much for the kind words and congrats on hitting your speech out of the park! I’d love to see the speech and a photo of you delivering it. You can reach me via my website: authenticallyfunnyspeeches.com/contact

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

Glad to hear it, @RICHARDINTHEKITCHEN! Congrats on the wedding!

[@patricbrown8721]

Thank you for the video, I now realise its not the length of the speech but the content. The step by step approach is the best by far,as it covers the most important bits you want to include in an orderly flowing way. Looking forward to the next video.

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

@@patricbrown8721 Exactly! Glad you found it helpful. Let us know how the speech goes on the big day! 🎤

This is so helpful. Having a workable framework to add into makes it seem so much less daunting . Thank you for sharing these tips. 👍

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

My pleasure, Clive! Thanks for the kind words.

[@clivepritchard]

@@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches I'm sorry it's taken so long to come back to you - I just clean forgot. Used your framework, it was so easy, the words just came and formed up around the ideas for each section. I hardly needed to change the first draft. Speech went well - everyone happy. Groom and best man also had great speeches using differrent formats. Despite the nerves and emotion I actually enjoyed the whole thing. Much obliged to you 🥂🍾

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

Well done and thanks for the follow-up! I always love hearing how it went. Congrats!

[@GarryZN]

Thanks for the great advice I followed your framework and didn't even need to keep notes. Lots of people came up to me afterwards to tell me how great my three and a half minute speech was

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

That’s great, Gary! Congrats!

[@barkerje2]

Thank you so much. I watched your videos and followed your advice and my speech went down a storm. At least ten people must have congratulated me afterwards and one said it was the best father of the bride speech she had ever heard. My last speech was at my own wedding thirty odd years ago and that wasn’t exactly scintillating, so I was made up when this one was so well received.

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

Congrats! Happy to be a small part of the success.

What happens if your divorced. How to acknowledge her mom

[@AuthenticallyFunnySpeeches]

Hi Glen. It’s not as hard as it might seem. A few tips: Don’t refer to her as your ex. It had a negative connotation, even if you don’t intend it that way. Refer to her as (name of daughter)’s mom instead. In the thank you section, make her a prominent thank you. “And of course, (name of daughter) wouldn’t be the extraordinary woman she is today without a mom like (ex wife’s name.)” If there are new partners that should be mentioned, you can mention them AFTER you’ve mentioned her mom. Generally, take the high road. Give Mom credit where credit is due, and don’t bring up bad stuff. If you and your ex have a testy relationship, your daughter will probably be a bit stressed about the how that section is going to go. Let both her and her mom be pleasantly surprised. Kill ‘em with kindness! 🤦‍♀️

I think you meant ‘died’ when you said ‘passed on’.

Well, in the sense that I was intentionally using a euphemism, yes.
