How I Improved How I Speak - Speak Clearly

If you want to improve your voice and speak more clearly, I will share with you three techniques that I used that helped me. First impressions are often based on how you look and how you sound so ensuring that your voice is clear will assist you with your first impressions. I went from someone who mumbled to someone who occasionally gets compliments regarding my voice.
In summary, the three things that helped me was:
1. Recording myself and then trying to correct myself. I did this for content creation and preparing for my MMI medical school interviews. This was a long process of many iterations over several years.
2. Repeating phrases from speakers that I wanted to sound like. Tim Ferriss and Jason Capital were two speakers that I tried to emulate.
3. I hired someone to critique my accent and suggest improvements.

Thanks Junius. I appreciate this. Do you use any techniques to organize your thoughts before speaking? Like laying things out in your head better to speak with better flow ,in a better organized process.

Great question! I generally have 3-5 points that I know I will be speaking about in my head and also typed out on my laptop that's in front of me. When I practice the intro before filming, I try to make sure that I can say those 3-5 points without looking at my laptop too much. When I can do that, I know that I roughly have the broad picture of what I want I want to talk about in the TH-cam video :)

Speech and speaking is fine, but far too much vocal fry.
