How did it go.

[@natalie8212]

I must say, this teacher is just amazing. He truly has a passion for what he's teaching and genuinely wants his students to succeed. I wish I'd had more teachers like this.

[@ctoacu6188]

It's like a weirder but much more useful synchronized swimming.

[@realdeal5191]

Graduated in January..... instructors are unbelievable. Paul..... he's the guy that we all appreciate.

[@2012iwanttogohome]

Thank you for this. I've always found the cadence of the autioneer's speech pattern fascinating. I even remember a British art auctioneer with this exact same cadence. TFS

[@JoeXTheXJuggalo1]

Wait! There is an actual auction school you go to learn how to be an auctioneer? Well you learn something new every day.

[@bibianaguadalupeislasherre9880]

I was today years old when I learned there's an auctioneer school. 🤯🤯🤯

[@twelge15]

Hysterical! But so awesome, and truly All American 🇺🇸

[@captaintalon4485]

Are all auctioneers required to wear a white hat?

[@ctoacu6188]

as an eyewitness, yes.

[@kellysaha3936]

I'm Ctoacu and they all have to be white to

[@juzzyboxx2185]

+ilikepie3326 kind of like Vox or Vice

[@joshuaharris114]

[@h33day]

Its growing at about a steady rate of 4k new subscribers every day

[@marcoabreo6506]

[@PaulineMidwinter]

I love this!!! I teach Elocution and often have to work with people on how to slow down, but today we watched this and tried to speak at this speed, approx 400 wpm, it was intense!!!

[@derhypnosefrosch]

Great productions! You deserve more views!

[@Jazzmaster71]

Great teacher with a great attitude. Wish I had him in my math class.

[@slightlyhector]

your channel is amazing its so educational, random and broad

[@iJesters]

Awesome story!

These are one of those skills which never changes over the years even going back to England.

[@maggiegee008]

So cool! Great video!

[@momo22406]

This is definitely on my bucket list 🤩

[@dbacks2023-]

I never knew there was a school for this I thought it was like being born left handed or something

[@meysammosaheb5556]

finally a school that is full of fun

[@hamburgerhamburger4064]

They talk so fast so you accidentally buy $1,000,000,000,000 worth of stuff by scratching ur head or something.

[@kylem1112]

I'm american and i barely can tell what they are fucking talking about half the time just sounds like a bunch of fast gibberish with a southern twang. lol but it's very rhythym based with speech and cadence. it's alot like rappping

[@LastBastion]

kzbin.info/www/bejne/pYTblYmjaLh7oa8 please look at this remix

[@johnmason1239]

I can understand glaswegian&100s of accents fluently& go to a old uk auction weekly where they had a cattle auctioneer who spoke at a similar pace you can understand, it sounds good but you can hardly understand US cattle auctioneers

[@mrgameboy5727]

its the hats. they contain the power.

[@same4492]

My friend Audrey recommended me this! I am happy she did

[@audreypham5934]

Thank you for the kind words, Sam! I'm glad you enjoyed it.

I love it hope I can do it

[@uzairmahmood6387]

This made my day 😀

[@314vc6]

It's such an art!

[@lifeontheledgerlines8394]

This would be a terrific skill to have as a singer. Speed talking warm ups, then vocal warm ups. I should try and find some of these exercises, would help my enunciation. Also, I suck at speaking quickly. And I think it would be hilarious.

[@johnd9279]

I am usually unable to bid on items I want in auctions due the the often unintelligible chant

[@kylem1112]

where's boomhaur?

[@jcoats150]

Thanks.

[@horyshet814]

The TURTLES WERE FOUND!!!

[@kingraiderr]

Interesting profession.

[@foolish_carpenter3147]

Some good ol boys

[@815TinyMISFIT]

I kind of wanna try auctioneering, im decently okay at teaching myself vocal practices, throat singing, throat whistling. I also naturally talk fast. Is auctioneering able to be a full time job?

[@CharlesXavier8]

Do they provide online courses though?

[@mediumpimpin004]

Where can I buy their college football apparel?

[@Shivang4]

Now this is what you call american culture. As an Indian i truly love it. I hope to tour texas one day.

[@andicarusfell8387]

Do all auctioneers have the same accent?

[@MrBobbyDolow]

Legend has it these are the only people on Earth Eminem and diss.

[@Gav3lo]

Another stack of turtles!

[@oskarbartosewicz89]

1:07 so thats why they talk so fast xdddd

[@gabesepoch]

2:20 Didnt know Andy samberg was an auctioneer

[@misanthropicisolation4013]

I've always been absolutely mystified and baffled how these auctioneers can speak so fast

[@bigtex4864]

It's truly amazing, so underrated.

You gotta explain yourself before she gets the broomstick out

I always hear "very good, okay, give yourselves a hand job!"

Wonder how you negotiate sex with a female auctioneer

I loose track its hard to stay focused

[@AliSot2000]

Ok, CS student her. We have a mixture speech, in form similar to rap however, the words describe a finite state machine.

[@joskirin136]

what happen if the auctioner doesnt follow the usual auctioner chant and flow? just a regular talking speed. does the auction still valid?

[@dustywelchcraneman6614]

Absolutely, but, the art of the chant is to build hype and urgency to the sale. So if ya got someone just hollars out numbers it might not sell high. When you go to a GOOD auction, you should be sweating even if you aren't bidding. My chest tightens up when I watch these videos and I aint even buying anything lol. I love a good auction. If I'm out driving around and see an auction happening that day I'll stop in just to hear them hollar and sell. I love auctions, livestock and equipment sales are the most popular around me.

[@joskirin136]

@@dustywelchcraneman6614 i see. thanks

[@Stillreal312]

Basically how i learned fast rap. Write a bar say it slow find the tempo and build faster and faster

[@wyattf.3837]

cool

[@brettster6710]

Your dreams have meaning My dreams:

[@jeffmilroy9345]

Your not an auctioneer until you learn how to land well placed jabs and harmless insults. For example calling for bids on an obvious worthless skid of rusty whatsits. Raps on the pallet with his stick and pointing accusatory at the buyers with a dead pan expression "awright c'mon boys - a smiles a bid". Never a dull moment...

[@cipmars]

I don’t quite understand why you guys do it this way. People say it’s for speed and stiring up the masses, but I suspect it’s done this way because it’s cool. I guess I don’t understand it because I’m not an American and you guys do certain things differently. It’s interesting, it’s cool and it works, so kudos to you.

[@johnaiken8511]

It's a sense of community. When there was an auction at a farm or auction house everyone would show up, meet everybody all over again, kids could get a hotdog, candy at and pop. It was exciting to see what was being sold. It was and is an electrifying atmosphere
