📌 How to Sound Confident

1. Eliminate filler words. Avoid words that serve no purpose except to fill the space between sentences. These are words like um, ah, like, and the dreaded, you know? Excessive filler words can be irritating to listeners, and make speakers sound unsure of themselves.

2. Take time to pause. Most people use filler words because they’re afraid of silence. It takes confidence to use dramatic pauses. A pause is like the period in a written sentence. It gives your audience a break between thoughts.

3. Vary your pace. Confident speakers vary the pace of their verbal delivery. They slow down and speed up to accentuate their most important points. Audiobooks are recorded at a moderate pace of 150 to 160 words per minute. It’s slow enough to be understood, but not so fast that the listener has a hard time keeping up. TED speakers, similarly, speak around 163 words per minute, right in the sweet spot.

Now, you know all the secrets of how to feel confident during a performance. All that's left is practice, practice, practice. Don't be hard on yourself if it takes time to achieve greatness. Keep up the good work. Nothing is more influential than the strength of your presence corresponding to the strength of your ideas.

How to Look Confident During a Presentation. Part 3

Today, I want to discuss another important aspect on how to look and feel more confident when speaking in front of a crowd.

📎 Read, save and try to implement these advice during your next speech or presentation.

Keep an open posture.
💁🏻‍♀️ Open posture means that there’s no barrier between you and the audience.
This includes your arms.
🙅🏻‍♀️ An uncomfortable speaker might unconsciously cross their arms, forming a defensive pose without being aware that they’re doing it.
🙋🏻‍♀️Confident speakers, by contrast, keep their arms uncrossed with their palms turned up.
🙅🏻‍♀️A lectern is a barrier. Stand away from it.
🙅🏻‍♀️ A laptop between you and your listener is a barrier. Set it to the side.
🙅🏻‍♀️ If you keep your hands in your pockets, take them out.
🙋🏻‍♀️ An open posture takes up more space and makes you feel more confident. If you feel confident, you’ll look confident.

Follow my advice, practice, and believe me - your performances will never be the same again.

🗣️ How to Look Confident During a Presentation.

Research shows that people form impressions about a leader’s competence in as little as half a minute. This means, within seconds, listeners will decide whether you are trustworthy, and they will do it based on your body language and vocal attributes. What you say and how you say it are equally important.

There are ways you can create an appearance of confidence and competence-even if you're nervous or timid on the inside.

Do you know what they are ?

Let’s discuss in the comments below, or let me know if I should post more on this topic ⤵️

🗣️Why should you attend accent modification courses?

Each person sets their own goals during accent modification training. The courses are adapted to individuals specific requirements and needs. Nonetheless, the main objectives are speech improvement and self-confidence, allowing individuals to effectively communicate in their personal, professional and educational realms.

Here is one of the most desirable objectives for people requesting accent modification courses:

1. Improving speech intelligibility.

2. Increasing language fluency.

3.Enhancing voice quality.

4. Improving voice resonance.

5. Increasing general language and pronunciation skills.

6. Reducing accent.

It’s also possible to attend accent modification courses online. In such a way, you can be flexible in your everyday plans without decreasing the efficiency of the courses.

Accent Modification is the process of altering the way your speech is enunciated.

👉🏼 For example, you may have trouble with sound pronunciation, articulation, and inflection.

Even if you successfully learned and understand English, it can be difficult to improve the way your speech sounds without professional help. That’s because a person can’t monitor their language patterns during natural communications. The help of a Speech Language Pathologist (SLP) is essential in accent modification.

🤝🏼 Get started on reducing your accent by booking accent modification consultation with me.

After the initial evaluation, I will provide you with accurate recommendations on ways of improving your accent, voice, and language.
This step will allow you to clearly understand how much time is needed for improvement.

☝🏼For example, if your accent is not very severe, it could take only a handful of sessions to fix it.

🗣️ When speaking a foreign language, you may find your speech isn’t so perfect.
This happens because of the accent, caused by sounds difference in languages. Some people believe such a special way of pronunciation is their strong point. However, an accent can interfere with proper communication and delivering the right messages.

People considered it impossible to change an accent. Nonetheless, accent modification speech therapy proves just the opposite. For example, Margaret Thatcher moved from a Lincolnshire accent to Received Pronunciation which is linked to an aristocratic background. If you feel unconfident when talking to native speakers and go through frustrating experiences in thought expression, such services can do a great job.
