Speech coaching to make your special occasions stand out
The speeches are one of the most memorable moments of a wedding. StandingOut, set up in January 2010, have developed courses specifically for this occasion. Every best man and wedding speaker can now rest assured that those big day nerves, butterflies and anxiety’s can be set at ease.
Standing in front of a crowd is certainly no walk in the park, and to be a great speaker requires practice, character and a confident delivery, as well as the ability to deal with nerves. StandingOut teaches these treasured skills to those budding speech writers, training the delivery and assisting with the writing if required. They specialise in turning first time fears into practiced polished performances.
When the top 100 wedding jokes of the year fall flat on their face or scouring the web throws up a load of hot air, it’s time to seek advice. You don’t have to rely on a thesaurus or the tweets of Stephen Fry, get a professional to guide your speech. StandingOut deliver effective and personalised speech coaching so that, instead of telling you how it should be said, they help you find your way of saying it. Their sessions cover everything from your vocal ability to your style of delivery, with training on how to build to a punch line or emphasise those tear-jerking, heartfelt moments.
Andrew Lee, one of StandingOut’s directors explains "StandingOut is based on the belief that everyone can, and should, enjoy the opportunity of speaking in front of others. We pride ourselves on being different from other voice coaches, as typical speech and vocal training tends to rely on strict methods of improving your elocution."
"No two speeches will ever be the same, as all speeches use different styles and techniques. Speaking well in public comes from the inside and every one of us can captivate and enthral our audience in our own unique way. At StandingOut, we develop this idea and along with a wide range of proven supporting techniques, we help people to find their own voice."
