Speak slowly from "summary" of Easy Spoken English by Paul Tagney
Talking slowly and clearly is an important part of improving your spoken English. It will help you to be more easily understood and sound more confident. Taking your time and not rushing your words is key if you want to communicate effectively.- It may seem counterintuitive, but speaking slowly can help you to be clearer and more effective when talking.
- When you take your time to enunciate each word, not only will you sound more confident but your listeners are likely to understand the point of your conversation quickly.
- If you feel like you talk too quickly, practice consciously slowing down your rate of speaking ahead of presenting.
- Practicing in front of a mirror can also help you as you can see how your facial expressions change when you vocalize slower.
- One way to get gain experience improving your style of delivery is by using videos of yourself so that you can evaluate your own progress over time.
