Public speaking is not for everybody, yet we need speakers in so many events, weddings, funerals, dowry negotiations, graduations and others. In the family or group hosting the event, they always give the role to “their best” speaker. That “best” speaker may not necessarily be a good public speaker. He is only “best” in comparison to everybody else in that group.
There are people who are naturally gifted in public speaking. They stay on point, they are funny and they keep the program moving smoothly and ending it as planned. Being from the neighborhood, you know most of the families holding events and you can run the program for them. This releases the family to concentrate on their roles.
Once people get to know and appreciate your skills, you will be sought after for functions even in far off places. Advertise your services on social media, send out brochures, put up posters, anything to let your name be out there, for people to contact you.
