Episode description
2022.02.15 – 0411 – Using Silence as a Substitute
Using silence as a substitute for filler words
If you pause rather than add in a vocal bridge – “err”, “ahh”, “y’know”, “so” – then it will make you sound more interesting. Try a pause and a mental ‘reset’, rather than a verbal, “um”.
There is nothing wrong with the occasional hesitation word, as long as it's not used too frequently, but you don’t need to fill every second with sound.
