Proposals and Vows

After you’ve written and edited, now comes the part where you decide to practice. First, you need to become comfortable speaking your lines. To do this go into a room like your bathroom that has a large mirror and read your speech line by line, slowly. This will help your mind associate any thoughts or feelings you have with each line. After this is done, start with each paragraph. Try reading it once while looking into the mirror to work on eye-contact. Next, repeat the paragraph you just read and try not to look at the paper.

Once you have memorized one paragraph, repeat the process while building upon what you have already learned. When repeating paragraph 2, 3, 4, or more back, make sure you start with the previous paragraphs you have already learned to help your memory adjust to the flow of words. Continue with this process until you are able to deliver your proposal or vow comfortably; making direct eye-contact with the mirror, and making sure your words are not rushed.
