Retired military and professional speaker here; you are absolutely spot on. When you are speaking in public your perception of your own speech is that it is too slow so you speed up to fill the gaps. DON'T! To the listener, you sound normal. The hardest thing to teach people in public speaking is to not be afraid of coming to a full stop at the end of a sentence and let the pause resonate for a moment. It's okay, you don't have to fill the void. Don't ramble until you fade out. All that being said, the military in me wanted to grab your shirttails and sort out the wrinkles in your shirt and collar. I'm not being mean, attention to detail is important. Carry on, young man. You are doing fine. Keep it up!

Unfortunately, this young Guy is surrounded by socialist beta males in culture and education; this problem is easily solved by following the great speaking styles of Cary Grant in his movies (he commonly spoke about 85 words per minute, which is ideal for most oral presentations) and the inestimable Charles Laughton - watch ALL of movies, start with Witness for the Prosecution ; Use this search term in YT to find Charles reading the Gettysburg Address and a chapter of the Book of Daniel. "charles laughton + orator"................................................................................... ANY Perry Mason episode - all of the male stars delivered their speaking and nonverbal roles perfectly! Find a style that fits YOU and do it.

In a world where masculinity is increasingly presented as "toxic", fortunately KZbin channels like yours allow men to meet, exchange, and improve.

Toxic masculinity is not masculine at all. It's just toxic. "Manners maketh the Man"

[@TaZ101SAGA]

Simply reject that notion. Works for me.

[@Pemulis1]

Toxic masculinity is half-assed masculinity. The essence of a man is learning to control and channel violence, which you cannot do if you don't have the capacity for it in the first place, or you don't have a mentor (ideally, a masculine father). Very, very few women can be masculine, because very very few women could kill someone with their bare hands yet know when not to (hardly ever, but when you gotta, you gotta. Easy to call bullshit on that, but as a society we're getting there).

During the first ten years of my life I lived in the same house with my grandmother, who in her youth, taught grade school in a one room building in a community that was isolated from the modern world where the people still spoke a form of Chaucerian English. I have never heard a recording of my own voice, but grew up near Savannah, GA, and am now in middle age. Complete strangers often ask me if I spent time living in Europe or Britain, which I have visited, but never "lived" there. When I was very young I worked in a retail environment and developed a habit of asking people "Could WE help you find something," in the Third Person, meaning the company for whom I worked and myself, and still catch myself using the expression today. To this day, I can be seated in a restaurant placing an order, and complete strangers at the next table will say, "Weren't you in Home Depot yesterday? I recognize your voice and was on the next aisle." I find this amusing but also a little threatening, as I generally do not like attention or being recognized. I once stood before a crowd of some 1,500 people in a public park and spoke for perhaps 5 minutes during a Memorial Day service and dozens of people came up to me afterwards and commented that they could understand every syllable I said. They were equally impressed that I never once looked at the notes I had in my hand. Perhaps I missed my calling as a public speaker.

Another modern speech mannerism that annoys me is when someone is relating or explaining something and they end each sentence or phrase with an upward inflection as if they’re asking a question.

Great video! Two things are worth noting: First, We Americans in particular are notorious abroad for our evasive and indirect speech. An American speaking to a German will find out just how indirect very quickly. Second, while filler words and clichés have been around forever, their use is much less frequent in the speech of older people. Those of us born around the time of WW II can speak at length without ever using the words 'like' or 'you know'. Instead, you will hear us pause and pace our speech as we develop our ideas. What you hear is not faltering caused by great age, but a manner of speaking from an earlier time.

[@serenityinside1]

Americans are in fact notorious for saying WAY WAY too much and too quickly , like they’ve had too much coffee which is probably the case, having the effect of leaving the listener exhausted and switched off !

Gen X here again. You speak a lot of sense, especially in being direct - unless you want mystery (not a good idea in a taxi). When you've said your sentence, look into the eyes of your interlocutor. It's her, or his, time to speak. A trap I've *always* had is that if I suddenly encounter a woman on whom I'm keen, my voice goes up half an octave. It's involuntary - if she's off my radar, or the meeting is arranged, my voice is normal. One thing I'd add is - never boast, never complain, never denigrate - unless in very trusted company, that is, when it's compulsory 🙂

Well read. Articulated. Grammatically correct. Extensive vocabulary. Used to speaking eloquently. Considerate. Understanding what audience understands his extensive vocabulary and what audience doesn’t. Ability to communicate his message/ideas clearly and preferably in 3 different ways, in case the topic is extended, or someone doesn’t hear what the gentleman is saying, requiring him to repeat it. I have encountered people who say I says, we was, think on that, etc. It’s so cringe and annoying that some people have poor verbal communication skills. I have encountered many people, who lack the words to explain what they mean. For example “She was in the hospital going over the same thing again and again” when what he’s trying to say is “She was surrounded by other bedridden patients, which made her feel helpless and hopeless regarding her own recovery”. This is why quality education, paying attention in class, writing essays, watching debates/news/documentsries/movies and READING is important. Just like some people eloquence, eloquent people with extensive vocabularies find it difficult to use easy terminology to relay the message because they’re accustomed to speaking eloquently.

I had a unfortunate upbringing, first 10 years in Norfolk then the next 10 in South East London where my accent developed into something not so pleasant (think Ali G with a bit of a farmers twang). In my early 20's I moved to Scotland to help on my Grandads farm up in Perth, I had real trouble communicating, strangely I could under stand the people I interacted with but they had real trouble with me, I found I had to repeat myself 3 - 4 times in every conversation. Luckily my Grandad was friends with a retired English language professor who lived in one of the towns near the farm who worked for Oxford University as , he offered lessons on Received Pronunciation an hour a week (My grandad kept him topped up with 12 year old Scotch and other produce from the farm as payment). As a clearer stripped down to the bare bones English accent would be more beneficial in communication, most of the lessons were exactly like this video, slow it down, remove slang don't use fillers. I had about 20 lessons, alot of it just reading chapters from a book out loud (Treasure Island, Moby Dick, Robinson Crusoe) and mock scenarios from ordering a meal or asking for directions. I didn't really notice any difference but it worked, the people I interacted with understood what I was saying first time. When I moved back to London 4 years later and on the first few days of being re-equated to old friends and family, I got told 3 times on different occasions that I now sound like Benedict Cumberbatch. I nearly replied with 'Cool' each time. But it really did help in life.

Gentlemen ought to express their point(s) by thinking say what I am going to say, say it, say what I just said - then stop talking. 3.

Great topic and very good advise. Especially like your advise on speaking (relatively) slowly. Too many people these days try to speak fast, as if they want to sell you something, which results in unfinished sentences and a lack of verbal elegance. Calm down, gentlemen, take a good breath, and speak in a calm, natural intonation. Of course, great actors, such as Cary Grant (who’s often mentioned on this channel) spoke incredibly fast, but bear in mind that that’s theatrical speech, memorized lines delivery - not natural speech.

Wow! I do all this naturally and never really thought about it this way. I guess that's one of the reasons people call me Old Man (despite being young).

[@joe18750]

With all due respect, it's not natural. It's learned. Consciously or unconsciously, you're emulating a strong male presence from your formative years.

Good advice 👍

Wonderful, as always. Anyone can benefit by the following practice: read daily, and every time you encounter a word you don’t entirely understand, consult a dictionary before continuing (all you require is an internet connection if you don’t have access to a physical dictionary). Vocabulary affords spontaneous eloquence when a certain idea arises within your mind that would uniquely assist in what you seek to communicate. Keep up the lucid content.

Excellent video, thank you. Another impediment to clear and direct speech is trying to find the perfect word when a lesser word would do. I am guilty of this myself, particularly in conversation. I’m afraid I can’t offer a ready cure!

Tip nr 5 - have smooth jazz bgm on when you speak for great mood

Bless you!

The first tip is good for gathering respect from men and women, but when you're inviting someone to something, you'll want to make it so that you're Already going to do something fun and that he or she has the option to join you, but either way You'll end up having fun anyways. Spin it like that.
