I learned a system for speaking articulately

This video details the stages of articulate speech that I underwent in learning to improve my communication. We discuss how to avoid dead phrases, small surface lexicons, and poor thought retention. I share details about an epiphany moment and how our language is a product of our inputs. Third, how one can begin to change the way they speak with the 3x5 language diet, increasing their consciousness per sentence, and cultivating intellectual humility. If you're wanting to learn how to speak more articulately and satisfactorily, how to become well-spoken, how to speak assertively, I do believe this video will help you achieve those ends.

I used this technique and my sentences are bussin' now no cap.

I realised I tend to develop a lisp when I’m under pressure, but when I’m around people I’m comfortable with I speak clearly

My favorite example of a dead phrase is "be sure to like, comment, and subscribe!"

His avoidance of that phrase earned all three from me.

What makes this video so powerful is that the speaker deeply practiced the principles he explains

This video is a proof that the reason for our short attention span is not just our dopamine hungry minds but the value that is missing from the content creators. I didn’t wonder for a moment watching this video.

Speaking simple and to the point is also an art.

As an academic, every day is filled with articulate speakers. Two main observations include: 1. Some just aren’t articulate speakers, and that’s okay. 2. What we actually value in discourse are colleagues that can communicate the most information in the simplest way, i.e., using the simplest language.

“The quality of your speech is a product of your language environments. The books you read, videos you watch, music you listen to etch language patterns in your mind that [subconsciously] are imitated in your speech.” I felt that.

This comment section feels like a party where everyone holds a fancy drink and pretends to enjoy the small talk :D I noticed this tendency that people copy the style of the speakers of the videos online. On some business content everybody talks and evaluates business ideas like they are some kind of business sharks and have millions to invest :D And under funny videos everybody copies the slang. Here - everybody is suddenly sophisticated speakers and eloquent banterers :D People love to belong. Don't get me wrong - I do it too, but it's fun to reflect on these things ;D

Over the years, I have learnt through peer-to-peer communication that the way we articulate ourselves has a profound impact on the way others perceive us. I had made an effort to consciously speak using positive sentences. For example, if I don't appreciate someone doing something, instead of instructing them to not do that particular activity, I would direct them to do what I want. These small changes shifted my view and lead me to be positive. I find Mohammad Ali to be very charming. He speaks eloquently with playfulness. Thank you for helping me understand what I could work on to better myself.

can't believe this is free... thank you!

[johnpazan]

Wow. The amount of information you're giving away simply because you want to help people be more articulate is amazing.
Thank you Joseph for being so open about sharing your discoveries to help other people transform their vocabulary and improve their confidence. You're the man

Silence is a powerful tool to replace dead phrases and cold starts. Just be quiet and think before saying anything. It will create attention.

Also, making short numbered lists as an answer. This impresses people even if you remember a last point you want to add.

It also invites them to add points further, making it an engaging invitation to think together. But never choose a high number, because if you don’t get to it, it will backlash as pretentious.

If can’t do it confidently right away, announce to your audience you will proceed by listing points as answers. This will give them certainty you are thinking out loud and on the spot, which is inviting, impressive and intellectually honest. It radiates confidence.

ALWAYS say the numbers out loud, they organize your speech and force you not to digress.

Example:

“What do you think about education?”

“I think we should approach your question in two ways:
1. Education as an experience, and
2. Education as a system”

Now you are free to digress, because you framed the answer in an interesting way. If you digress too much on number 1, coming back to number 2 will also strike people, as tour memory will look sharp and you will be perceived as someone who connect ideas.

Person A: "Hey! Howdy??"
Person B: "Hmm... How am I? ... I find myself in a state of introspective contemplation, pondering the profundities of existence and the myriad intricacies of human interaction."

This is one of the channels that gave me the courage to start my YouTube channel 10 months ago about self development. Now I have 2, 017 subs and > 2k hours of watch time. I know it’s not comparable with others but I’m still proud I started because I’ve been learning so many lessons that I could haven’t learned without getting started in the 1st place.

[VehementVoice-bsrc]

Not only have you provided a simple structure one could follow, you also provided a handful of resources to get started. Great work!

[sujandangi]

I don't comment often. But, the quality of the video and the valuable content it provided is simply too good to not compliment it. This is the best video I have seen so far in last few months! I wish you all the best for Nounce 🙏

Hello Joseph, subscribing to your channel was a direct result of watching this video. As an immigrant for whom English is a second language, it's hard to express how much you've influenced my perspective on language acquisition techniques. I appreciate the valuable content you consistently share.

[ericmohler]

Outstanding. Organized. Dense. Concise. Guess that’s the point.
Thank you.
