Too true. I gave a speech at my friend's wedding last weekend and knew to keep it short because nobody actually cares. I think my speech clocked in at a minute and a half.

You probably could have cut it down if you weren't being such a chatty Cathy.

Instead of projecting your own inadequacies onto your audience(s), have you considered working on your public speaking skills?

My public speaking skills are just fine. Hence the 90-second speech. It was just the toast, and I knew if I just told a quick, funny anecdote, it would go over well.

So kindly fuck off.

That's a "no".

I agree with Lil Zhan because most audience members are only devoting about 50% of their attention to you. I know this because I've been in audiences of speaking engagements numerous times. It's not an excuse to shirk doing well, it just means you don't have to sweat bullets over it because nobody'll crucify you for it. It's a smart move to keep a speech like the wedding one short because people will get bored very quickly. It's a valuable skill to keep your speeches concise.
