I want to thank you for joining me for this course on how to give a ceremonial speech. The fact that you've gotten this far shows that you're taking this a lot more seriously than most people. And that by itself is a good indication that you're likely to succeed. Now, if you really followed the number one principle I recommend here, which is videotape yourself, giving the ceremonial speech until you're happy with it, you're going to be in great shape. Very few people do that. I guarantee you, less than 1% of people do that.

If you do that, you'll be in great shape. Beyond that, just remember some of the basics. Have a nice cheat sheet if you need it. Don't try to memorize, don't rush. Really think about how you're standing. If it's a standing speech.

Think about your speed and your volume and try to have some fun with it. This is probably a day of celebration. There are exceptions funerals, obviously But it is a day of celebration. Let that smile come across your face when you're speaking. Let that joy come across when you're speaking, if it's a certain honor, if you're being sworn into a major office, let the honor exude and just come out of your pores and let it come out of your voice. Do that and you will be in great shape for your ceremonial presentation and all the other presentations you give in life.

Thanks again for joining me. I'm TJ Walker. Good luck with your ceremonial speeches and all other speeches.
