I gave a 5 minute best man speech to 200+ people tonight. I only blocked up a few times but I got through it pretty smoothly. Pretty solid anxiety all day and then I was handed the microphone and the anxiety got turned up to 11. Forgot a couple of good lines in the heat of it all but I managed to get a couple solid laughs from the crowd and even sang on the mic. Just wanted to say don't let this stuff control you, you don't have to stay silent, and we're all gonna make it my dudes.
