Takeaways: How to stop/minimise using filler/buffer words: 1. Being cognizant of the last word you use, particularly the last letters brings attention to word choice. 2. Employing pauses, being comfortable in the pause since we use fillers to fill yhat space. The pause and space alcan be an opportunity for time to consider more appropriate words to use. 3. Focusing on ur conversation psttner and less on urself. Be the messenger for the ideas to come across
I genuinely assure you that I am on a trajectory of watching and liking each of your videos. Hope one day this channel hits a million subscriber milestone.
That's great! Being concise is also important. If you can say something in 5 words instead of 500, that's a good thing. People are impressed by a clear message, not a lot of SAT words, rambling, using obscure words, etc. It's frustrating for the audience to try to wade through pretense to just get to the message.
Nice tips! Embracing the silence and focusing on the audience make so much sense. Need to try out the first tip (processing word endings) to see how it may help. I'd always thought filler words are linked to the beginning of sentences rather than the end.
Are you employing the word "employ" as a substitute for "use"? I wonder if you employ "employ" every time you'd use "use", doesn't it just become a longer more pretentious version of "use" without conveying anything "use" wouldn't? Btw great content, I'm horrible at speaking and am learning a lot from you.
@@majda940 yeah I feel like words like discover have different specific connotations than their simpler counterparts. Like I found my phone vs I discovered my phone
0:48 This is exactly how we freestyle rap from the top of the head. You preemptively focus on the finishing punch line, so that you have more direction on what you’re saying. Keeps you from stuttering a pausing.
Well done -- I can't stand junk words -- like, you know, sort of, kind of, right, so. I turn off videos as soon as the speaker starts "like ya knowing" at me. It insults my ears. It confuses listeners and makes the speaker sound like a vapid dorm room stoner. Junk/Filler Words makes smart people sound stupid.

Umm, like, great video and stuff.

As a gentleman starting my own content and podcast, your videos could not have come at a better time. Keep it up.
The 3rd technique (mindset) earned this video my like. This is huge! Kudos to ya.

This channel is underrated
I'm so impressed by all of the videos you create! Thank you so much for doing this work and sharing it with us.
Nice tips!

I love the part about embracing silence. Great work!
Yet again another simple and curated episode.
Absolutely a gem
Ur a tremendously clear thinker and orator
Bro your content is what I needed 👌 👏 been stressing about my pronunciation and the too much use of the filler word " like "
Are you employing the word "employ" as a substitute for "use"?

I was thinking similarly about words "discover" and "find"
@@majda940 yeah I feel like words like discover have different specific connotations than their simpler counterparts. Like I found my phone vs I discovered my phone
@@majda940 Chuck out Terrence McKenna's speeches as great examples of beautifully crafted off the cuff speaking
I think "employ" means "make use of", not just "use". "Make use of" would be more helpful here
@@r34ct4Yeah good point
Love your work mate!
Well done! Thank you
