Hi. Let me share some technique for slower and confidently speaking . Imagine that you are explaining things in front of the kindergarten . So its nesessary to speak slower for the children and to try to sound more expresively and understandable . That also reduces the presere of the speraking in front of audience - those are just some kids , you know ;)

Finally I've found pepole I can relate to about talking to fast. I've always talked to fast and slurred my words I'm tired of hearing "what?" "Huh?" "Say it again?" . ITS SOOO embarrassing! What finally made me do something was today when I finally got up the courage to talk to my crush, it was so awkward so I just blurted out "I love elephants" he thought I said I am a elephant. It was cringy weird and embarrassing. Thanks for the tip Ill definatly use it tomorrow. Update: nothing ever happened with me and that boy he ended getting a girlfriend. But I'm starting to talk more clearly now and its definitely brought up my confidence. I'm happy I found pepole just like me. One huge tip I have is to not give a shit what other people think about you just go with it and whatever happens happens.

[@Gurlwithbluesguitark]

This is absolutely phenomenal! I do door knocking for living and sales for living going on 10+ years now. I am told constantly, "sloooow down, why do you talk so fast?" I then think to myself, "I guess I do, I didn't mean to." Then I become to aware and start to feel really bad about myself so much so I feel I have no control or technique, that I start just saying, "I guess this is my life now." My own relationships with friends, partners, and family have been disrupted or hurt because I become annoying with how fast and how much I have to say. This is starting to really teach me to slow down my thoughts and word count in my speech, that I think I will come off as a much more effective and clearer speaker. Thank you for the insight! 🙂

[@pmz]

Speech speed is dependent on natural exhale rate. You speak faster,if you are excited.You can naturally decrease the exhale rate by special breathing exercise.

[@ghinaraad1139]

How

[@anilyilmaz9046]

1.Keep it costal app. 2. Make reading exercises by elongating the last letter of each word by 2 seconds.

This certainly sounds interesting. I will give it a go, as I suffer from ADHD and talking far too quickly is a real issue (as well as talking in a high pitched voice).

Hi @JP, if you breathe more deeply and slow down when you’re talking, you’ll be able to relax (lower) your voice and express yourself in a more focused way. Give it a try and let us know how it goes!!!

Rather, instantly Renew thy presence; as a strong tree should, Rustle thy boughs and set thy trunk all bare, And let these bands of greenery, which insphere thee Drop heavily down, - burst, shattered, everywhere!

Listen to the recordings and start to notice how much more clear and organized you sound by slowing down. Try this for awhile and let us know how it goes!
