    Retired military and professional speaker here; you are absolutely spot on. When you are speaking in public your perception of your own speech is that it is too slow so you speed up to fill the gaps. DON'T! To the listener, you sound normal. The hardest thing to teach people in public speaking is to not be afraid of coming to a full stop at the end of a sentence and let the pause resonate for a moment. It's okay, you don't have to fill the void. Don't ramble until you fade out. All that being said, the military in me wanted to grab your shirttails and sort out the wrinkles in your shirt and collar. I'm not being mean, attention to detail is important. Carry on, young man. You are doing fine. Keep it up!

      Unfortunately, this young Guy is surrounded by socialist beta males in culture and education; this problem is easily solved by following the great speaking styles of Cary Grant in his movies (he commonly spoke about 85 words per minute, which is ideal for most oral presentations) and the inestimable Charles Laughton - watch ALL of movies, start with Witness for the Prosecution ; Use this search term in YT to find Charles reading the Gettysburg Address and a chapter of the Book of Daniel. "charles laughton + orator"................................................................................... ANY Perry Mason episode - all of the male stars delivered their speaking and nonverbal roles perfectly! Find a style that fits YOU and do it.

      Toxic masculinity is half-assed masculinity. The essence of a man is learning to control and channel violence, which you cannot do if you don't have the capacity for it in the first place, or you don't have a mentor (ideally, a masculine father). Very, very few women can be masculine, because very very few women could kill someone with their bare hands yet know when not to (hardly ever, but when you gotta, you gotta. Easy to call bullshit on that, but as a society we're getting there).

I don't care whether you know about a topic or not; what is defining is your ability to be honest about your competence (or lack thereof) and always seek to refine it with new information and intelligent discussion.

    Well read. Articulated. Grammatically correct. Extensive vocabulary. Used to speaking eloquently. Considerate. Understanding what audience understands his extensive vocabulary and what audience doesn’t.
    Ability to communicate his message/ideas clearly and preferably in 3 different ways, in case the topic is extended, or someone doesn’t hear what the gentleman is saying, requiring him to repeat it.
    I have encountered people who say I says, we was, think on that, etc. It’s so cringe and annoying that some people have poor verbal communication skills.
    I have encountered many people, who lack the words to explain what they mean. For example “She was in the hospital going over the same thing again and again” when what he’s trying to say is “She was surrounded by other bedridden patients, which made her feel helpless and hopeless regarding her own recovery”.
    This is why quality education, paying attention in class, writing essays, watching debates/news/documentsries/movies and READING is important. Just like some people eloquence, eloquent people with extensive vocabularies find it difficult to use easy terminology to relay the message because they’re accustomed to speaking eloquently.

    Great video! Two things are worth noting: First, We Americans in particular are notorious abroad for our evasive and indirect speech. An American speaking to a German will find out just how indirect very quickly. Second, while filler words and clichés have been around forever, their use is much less frequent in the speech of older people. Those of us born around the time of WW II can speak at length without ever using the words 'like' or 'you know'. Instead, you will hear us pause and pace our speech as we develop our ideas. What you hear is not faltering caused by great age, but a manner of speaking from an earlier time.

    During the first ten years of my life I lived in the same house with my grandmother, who in her youth, taught grade school in a one room building in a community that was isolated from the modern world where the people still spoke a form of Chaucerian English. I have never heard a recording of my own voice, but grew up near Savannah, GA, and am now in middle age. Complete strangers often ask me if I spent time living in Europe or Britain, which I have visited, but never "lived" there. When I was very young I worked in a retail environment and developed a habit of asking people "Could WE help you find something," in the Third Person, meaning the company for whom I worked and myself, and still catch myself using the expression today. To this day, I can be seated in a restaurant placing an order, and complete strangers at the next table will say, "Weren't you in Home Depot yesterday? I recognize your voice and was on the next aisle." I find this amusing but also a little threatening, as I generally do not like attention or being recognized. I once stood before a crowd of some 1,500 people in a public park and spoke for perhaps 5 minutes during a Memorial Day service and dozens of people came up to me afterwards and commented that they could understand every syllable I said. They were equally impressed that I never once looked at the notes I had in my hand. Perhaps I missed my calling as a public speaker.

    Another modern speech mannerism that annoys me is when someone is relating or explaining something and they end each sentence or phrase with an upward inflection as if they’re asking a question.

    Excellent points. Another distinguishing feature of a classic male is proper grammar. Unfortunately grammar isn't taught as stringently in schools as it used to be. Also people rely too much on apps such as Grammarly; this is fine when you're writing, but when you're speaking, there's no app to filter or correct what comes out of your mouth.

Certainly, in politicians, my late wife saw 'ums', 'ahhs', 'errs' etc. as a sign of someone who either wasn't conversant with the facts, or who was trying to dissemble. They _can_ serve as a kind of punctuation, however, I believe, whether as a way to _show_ you are being considered in your answers, allowing others an opportunity to interject, inject nuance, or whatever.

Usually, I suck at "grounding," my speech when talking to attractive women that I'm interested in, but over time, I learned to craft my temperament and speaking skills to serve better in representing myself as a competent young man by taking control of my words and the way I wlsay those words.

    Gen X here again.
    You speak a lot of sense, especially in being direct - unless you want mystery (not a good idea in a taxi).
    When you've said your sentence, look into the eyes of your interlocutor. It's her, or his, time to speak.
    A trap I've *always* had is that if I suddenly encounter a woman on whom I'm keen, my voice goes up half an octave. It's involuntary - if she's off my radar, or the meeting is arranged, my voice is normal.
    One thing I'd add is - never boast, never complain, never denigrate - unless in very trusted company, that is, when it's compulsory 🙂

    Hello Gent Z, I completely agree that communicating directly, succinctly, and with brevity while always remaining composed is essential for a gentleman. I am fortunate to ba a certified Toastmaster-from many years back- and at least three points stick, ie;
    1. Gentlemen must stop using filler words. Instead, stop talking and breath.
    2. Gentlemen ought to express their point(s) by thinking say what I am going to say, say it, say what I just said - then stop talking.
    3. Gentlemen ought to listen 80% of the time and speak only 20% if that much.
    You speak well and I appreciate your videos.
    Peace be with you, Joe.

    Wonderful, as always. Anyone can benefit by the following practice: read daily, and every time you encounter a word you don’t entirely understand, consult a dictionary before continuing (all you require is an internet connection if you don’t have access to a physical dictionary). Vocabulary affords spontaneous eloquence when a certain idea arises within your mind that would uniquely assist in what you seek to communicate. Keep up the lucid content.

    Great topic and very good advise. Especially like your advise on speaking (relatively) slowly. Too many people these days try to speak fast, as if they want to sell you something, which results in unfinished sentences and a lack of verbal elegance. Calm down, gentlemen, take a good breath, and speak in a calm, natural intonation. Of course, great actors, such as Cary Grant (who’s often mentioned on this channel) spoke incredibly fast, but bear in mind that that’s theatrical speech, memorized lines delivery - not natural speech.

    Good points. For those interested these are all points covered in most toastmaster clubs (a great way to put real practice in for speaking).
    Our club has a focus on eliminating informal speaking patterns as discussed in the direct section of this video. In short take responsibility for your words and own it. A great place to start is learning about weasel words (the wiki will tell you all you need to know about informal speaking).
    Ahs, ums, so’s, and other filler words definitely take away from speech. Take pause, which also helps slow you down (the Obama method).
    Good points on the video, my only criticism is to drop the parts where xyz is feminine and instead shoot for simply not masculine. Our club has many great female speakers and a lot of those non masculine traits you call feminine are really more like a child that is unsure of how to ask their parents about a new toy or game. In short childish as opposed to feminine or masculine. That Uber passenger is a great example of a child like trait that never went away (takes deliberate practice to weed out habits like that).

    I had a unfortunate upbringing, first 10 years in Norfolk then the next 10 in South East London where my accent developed into something not so pleasant (think Ali G with a bit of a farmers twang). In my early 20's I moved to Scotland to help on my Grandads farm up in Perth, I had real trouble communicating, strangely I could under stand the people I interacted with but they had real trouble with me, I found I had to repeat myself 3 - 4 times in every conversation. Luckily my Grandad was friends with a retired English language professor who lived in one of the towns near the farm who worked for Oxford University as , he offered lessons on Received Pronunciation an hour a week (My grandad kept him topped up with 12 year old Scotch and other produce from the farm as payment). As a clearer stripped down to the bare bones English accent would be more beneficial in communication, most of the lessons were exactly like this video, slow it down, remove slang don't use fillers. I had about 20 lessons, alot of it just reading chapters from a book out loud (Treasure Island, Moby Dick, Robinson Crusoe) and mock scenarios from ordering a meal or asking for directions. I didn't really notice any difference but it worked, the people I interacted with understood what I was saying first time. When I moved back to London 4 years later and on the first few days of being re-equated to old friends and family, I got told 3 times on different occasions that I now sound like Benedict Cumberbatch. I nearly replied with 'Cool' each time. But it really did help in life.

    You should reevaluate your use of the term "feminine trait" as a pejorative term. Swapping out that term for "weaker trait" or "childish trait" will keep your intended meaning without falling into the trap of viewing men and women as opposites, and without being disrespectful. I look forward to your future videos.

It's not 1950s anymore.

    I think you focused a bit more than necessary on dominance. Speaking well is about earning respect, not about dominating others to my mind. Show that you have good things to say and that you say it well, and people will listen. Out of respect.
    The point on parroting is good, although I would also say that you need to know your audience and use language that is both authentic to you but also resonates with your audience. As a former youth worker, I can tell you that when I could understand the slang and use it authentically with the teens I worked with it helped a lot. These days I need to have UN language to do the same thing with my current audiences.
    What you say about slowing down and having clear points to make is spot on. On the filler words, I heard a fascinating podcast recently on the social meaning of fillers and the role they play in speech patterns in all cultures. It made me think about them as more than just allowing my brain to catch up with my mouth, although they also play that role.
