Don't put silly non-words like UM and UH in your sentences. Say a few real words, insert a comma, BE SILENT, then say a few more words. That's how sentences should work. If you do that, people will know that you are BRILLIANT – Roger Love

“Volume is a huge key to sounding confident and secure. But most people have no concept of how loud they should actually speak. I believe that we've become a nation of whisperers, and for the most part, we speak way too softly. When someone comes into my studio they're usually surprised by how loud I ask them to speak. I always say, "All speaking is public speaking". Whether you're talking to your mother, your girlfriend, boyfriend, boss, teacher, or 500 people at a convention, you're still a public speaker. You need to learn to stop speaking as if you were speaking to yourself. Using the proper amount of volume is critical when speaking. Volume enables the audience to hear you and better process what you are saying. In this video, Roger Love shows you how to use volume to your advantage and get your message heard.” Roger Love

“I think it's about time for me to help you get rid of those silly "UH" and "UM "sounds you use in sentences. With those gone, you'll sound a thousand percent more intelligent, thoughtful, and together.
I bet a lot of you would be shocked to realize how many times in your normal conversations... You actually say "Uh or Um". For most of us, it's become totally normal. We start out a sentence using actual words...then, when we run out of thoughts, and our brains work on the next set of words to come out, our voices fill up the empty spaces with a bunch of gibberish. Everybody knows that we shouldn't do it, but that doesn't seem to help much. There are tons of books that basically say...stop doing that...but that still doesn't give you a concrete way to alleviate the problem. So, I've come up with a way to once and for all eliminate fillers like "Uhs and Ums", with a technique I call "Stretching the words".
In this video, Roger Love shows you why people use fillers when speaking and how to eliminate them.
