For those starting down this path: Please do not confuse being articulate with using obscure and extravagant words just for the sake of it, at the end of the day, one tries to be articulate in order to convey thoughts effectively, be conscious of the person you're speaking with like you would be mindful with a person who speaks a different dialect or language, remember that a sign of a true smart and cultivated person is not on the fancy words they use, but on their ability to communicate with others successfully, regardless of anything.

Although reading is a great place to start, be careful not to confuse active and passive vocabulary. Reading improves passive vocabulary but does a far less effective job of improving active speech - due also to a restricted timeframe to choose your words.

[@Varmint111]

Be very careful to not use so many uncommon words that you don't become more difficult to understand. Being articulate is to communicate more clearly. Articulate individuals can describe more complex concepts concisely. Those who swap in uncommon words to describe simple concepts requires unnecessary horsepower for the listeners. It's insufferable. Clear, concise, confident. If you need a better word, use one. If not, don't.

[@MrSmith-ql2mm]

absolutely this. No need to use higher levels words just to look smarter in conversation. Understanding your audience is as equally important as the articulation. It doesn't make you less intelligent to use common phrases in social situations; in fact it's likely ideal as it allows you to blend better. Standing out is not always a bonus. For example, my uncle (Harvard educated, very proper) is generally harder to relate to for the average person just due to the way he talks; he comes across as snooty/privileged without meaning to and it's entirely based on his sentence structure, word choices, and mannerisms. The smarter thing to do here is to be able to turn on more precise language when it's useful/necessary and is applicable to your audience.

Not many things in life have shortcuts, and while I wouldn't call reading a 'shortcut', people heavily underestimate how much of an impact just reading frequently can have on your ability not only to speak and express thoughts clearly, but also to comprehend meaning and communicate more effectively. Basically, step 1 should be just read more. You don't have to love it, you just have to do it

Why do you do this fellow human?

[@FlowScholars]

I love that you mentioned the finger tab! I do this in my every day speech unconsciously and your claim that it requires you to place a greater focus on the minutiae of your word selection and delivery is exactly correct. I am working on a channel to teach people to write higher quality rap music and one of the things I notice a lot of skilled rappers do (especially when not holding the mic) is that they move their hands in similar patterns to punctuate the words that they are delivering with their voice. One of the ways I have often thought about it is that the finger tab plays the same role as the conductor in the orchestra, subtly directing the expression that we ultimately end up hearing. While every day speech doesn't require the same level of rhythmic precision that rap does, tonality and cadence do play a role in how digestible our speech is and so the subtle habit of conducting yourself as you are speaking is unexpectedly powerful. It allows you to store a "lookahead buffer" in the memory of your body without tainting the audio of your speech.

Man, if someone asks you how was the work collective and you say "cordial", you will sound more like a jerk than articulate man. Articulate people know the vocabulary of average Joe and they use words and phrases from day to day language in the most effective way. Remember, purpose of speech is to convey meaning, not to make people reach for the dictionary. Modern vocabulary changes and some words common in the past just won't sound the way they used to. Observe, Adapt and Convey the meaning. These are the rules for being articulate in 2023.

[@confidencehub753]

Yes, you have a valid and justifiable point in your above statement, but you should be competent enough to learn the word substitutes and adapt according to situation, as you say, though there are times where you cannot substitute precision for the sake of comprehension by using vague and shoddy words. Saying there are rules for being articulate in 2023 you have to understand that this same 2023 and time period in history people have vastly lost skill and precision in thinking coherently through issues, articulating solutions to problems and assembling those answers into clear, concise and noteworthy words. You need to have word substitutes in your verbal arsenal that you should employ when you want to CONVEY MEANING, and not rather lurch back to vague and vapid vocabulary. You also have to consider the fact that your audience/ people you are talking to are intelligent, or at least half of them, not so much dumb they couldn't understand what you say. Look out for most people who are considered very articulate today, they employ rich vocabulary when they don't want the meaning of what they want to convey being misunderstood as a consequence of using vague words, or "vocabulary" of 2023, since our language inputs of today (netflix, movies, songs, series) has taken the beauty and broadness of communication on a downhill path by being polluted with swear words, faint and imprecise words that have affected communication in no small part!

[@littlesjunior]

There’s a reason why for this. There’s a gate keeping of vocabulary and knowledge that defines the things that bring more life in word form So many schools so much education it’s as if it’s a needle in a haystack. So i believe so much of our filler words and horse work words are due to our real life communities and neighborhoods that say the literal same things nd this can go for academic essays in school and ur teacher giving u crap because stuff like this wasn’t taught so there the teach just says something like give more “detail” when writing a paper they are saying being a word smith but they don’t have the articulate and versatility of wordplay. This also goes for convers like in said video so basically these are so common reality as I seen it and experience we all say the same thing a lot and that’s due to lack of or say gate keeping of every single word known to man or planet earth. If we can have that maybe we be more creative and that could inspire,” more artists in poetry and writing,musical, lyrics, stories, movies, shows,etc. I’d never had the actual vocabulary for this I always knew but I never knew that there was a word because everything is words.but for some reason life In the last and today words are all around us and yet invisible for discovery but really u just haven’t found it yet like being in a maze. Some characters in shows or movies music do this horse work thing were they keep saying surface level word play making it mid, mediocre, lame, bland. So if someone can just find all the words known not just a dictionary I mean every single thing. That would be nice

My intention is to make the opposite person understand everything i say exactly in the way i mean. Using complex words is good only for certain groups of well read people. But simpler words can be understood by all. For example, using apple products is way simpler because they put a lot of effort in making their interfaces simpler. I agree with the points on reducing fillers and being concise. 👍

problem is, i have to implement this to my native language 😆. but hey, it'll worth it, i believe.

You videos are so great! This is probably the most important skill to learn, everything follows after

[@sizwekoomtheMc]

Your Content is amazing, I remember your video that went from 100 to a million. Please consider coming up with a course that deals with articulacy, ill be one of the people to enroll. Continue with this amazing work you are doing

in brief: The video discusses methods to enhance articulate speech. - **Workhorse Words**: The video begins by discussing the concept of "workhorse words," which are common and vague words that are overused in speech. Examples include words like "good" or "nice." The speaker suggests replacing these with more precise and powerful words. - **Four Steps to Replace Workhorse Words**: 1. Select a workhorse word you use excessively. 2. Identify the context in which the word is commonly used. 3. Find an articulate alternative using resources such as the Well-Spoken Thesaurus or specific ChatGPT prompts. 4. Increase awareness of the workhorse word to avoid using it. - **Commonplace Book**: The second secret to articulate speech is maintaining a commonplace book, a collection of clever phrases, concise word combinations, jokes, analogies, metaphors, and quotes that you wish to integrate into your own language. Reviewing this book regularly can help enhance language skills. - **Sentence Construction**: The speaker emphasizes the importance of using fresh and creative word combinations to make sentences more engaging and pleasurable to listen to. Avoiding cliché expressions and vague language can make communication more effective. - **Avoiding Bloated Language**: The final part of the video discusses avoiding bloated language to create lean, crisp sentences. Three types of bloated language are identified: fillers (um, ah, like), redundancy spirals (repeating the same word or phrase), and intensifiers (really, literally, kind of). - **Tips to Avoid Bloated Language**: 1. Keep your mouth closed until you've defined your starting words to avoid fillers. 2. Be aware of redundancy spirals and intensifiers and work to eliminate them. 3. Use techniques like processing the endings of words or creating a finger tab to focus on reducing bloated language in speech. In conclusion, the video provides comprehensive insights and practical tips for enhancing articulate speech, including replacing workhorse words, maintaining a commonplace book, and avoiding bloated language. The speaker encourages viewers to use these techniques to become more articulate and effective communicators.

my only problem with "improving your speech and langauge" is, like what was mentioned in the video, 99% of us speak slang or don't care to use coherent sentences, very rarely do we find ourselves in conversations where we are required to speak at a higher level. so putting your lessons in to practice is harder IRL

[@rebjr6615]

speak for yourself??? do you have a job? are you ever present in a professional environment?

[@anonymoususer6928]

[@anonymoususer6928]

@@wyro1741 its definitely possible but it's not worth the effort it will take to implement if im only going to use it 2% of the time, this is my own personal POV though, for someone else it may be more appropriate.

[@Gandhi_Physique]

@@anonymoususer6928 I believe it to be more important in scientific or political settings; however, I do think it can be instrumental when describing a nuanced topic with another. In many cases, though, it is certain to cause confusion and if done incorrectly, you may end up looking like a pretentious prick.

[@jordanlazaro1676]

Truly, I appreciate the valuable information extended to me through this video. Each portion was easily digestible and held substance.

[@user-bf4fo3sr1m]

Joseph, I've come to understand the concept of your acquiescent deep work-through. The points that have been made from the full length video has enlightened my desire to chase the "red herrings" in my simple and vague speech to speak as precise and cognitive as you.

[@goldmandrummer]

Be careful not to put aesthetics over accuracy, choosing "interesting" or "colorful" language that misrepresents the truth. And don't use obscure words with an audience that may not understand, or even words that take a moment to recall the meaning of because then your audience falls behind your words and loses meaning. Using common language is actually an aspect of *good* communication, because it's easier for your audience to understand. The best way to improve your communication is to understand your audience.

[@robertalenrichter]

The problem is that it's a vicious cycle. It's not as though there's a floor to this. The less vocabulary that people are exposed to, the less that they will understand. The media have been dumbing their language down for decades. Where does it end?

[@harjxn_m]

I don't typically leave comments on videos, but I couldn't resist with this one. The techniques taught here on improving articulation, including the use of memorized phrases and clever word substitutions, instantly reminded me of Andrew Tate's approach. Both aspects are incredibly valuable

[@confidencehub753]

Wow, did Tate say that that was his approach to improving his communication skills, having some stored phrases in his arsenal and word substitutes... I'd like to know his approach too.

[@project-pe6ly]

are you the thought police? There's a time a place for 'articulate' words. Describing a sandwich as 'exquisite' doesn't make you a well spoken person. In reality, everything is too complex to fully describe so people use words like 'good' to simplify the scale of what they experienced into something they know is generally understood about what they're describing

[@klungkity]

This type of content precisely speaks to the problems of my current style of ineffective communication. I think I may need to re-learn basic English.

[@charlie-curcio]

Love this, man!

[@CoachTu411]

Wow! This is my type of channel, yet somehow the first I've seen like it. Sure I've watched plenty of TED talks about public speaking, YT videos on writing well and so forth. Yet this video, and the gateway video which got me here, "Articulate Yourself With Incredible Precision (3 Secrets)" resonate with ideas I've held for a long time. You figuratively and literally cut out the fluff. Everything you shared in this video is connecting. For example, you spoke about a classic tool - the common place book. This is the first time I see greater value of keeping one, in a new light, after you drew the connection to historical articulation phenoms using them to train themselves to speak impactfully.

[@VargusDread]

Your videos are excellent! I've been binging them during the cooldown period of my workouts and the last few drives to and from work and think you might blow up in a similar fashion to Charisma on Command, provided you manage to keep the content this fresh. Good luck to you bro, and terrific job balancing between displaying the information you are presenting and showing your face to keep a connection going with the audience. Smart to have the camera focused on you as well, and it's good that you're getting around to changing up your thumbnails. Again, to reiterate, I wish you the best of luck, and keep on grinding. :)
