Simple Exercise to DRASTICALLY Improve Your Articulation! (

In this week's episode of the #askvinh show, we're talking about how to get better at articulation and why your accent ISN'T the problem. I also share a powerful practice to become a better storyteller, how to become more familiar with high stakes situations such as interviews and presentations, AND why it's important to pause before responding to someone's question.

I am a Communication skill trainer and I JUST LOVE your videos. Keep up the good work

- [00:00] 🗣 Your accent might not be the issue in communication; it could be your articulation.
- [01:59] 📖 Practice articulation by reading aloud for 5 minutes in the morning and 5 minutes at night, overemphasizing mouth and tongue movements.
- [02:31] 📚 Document emotionally impactful moments in your life as potential storytelling material to improve your storytelling ability.
- [05:18] 🌟 Familiarize yourself with high-stakes situations to perform better in them; expose yourself to such situations regularly.
- [08:49] ⏸ Pause before responding to questions to appear thoughtful and increase the perceived value of your response.

[@rizztraininghamster]

from my experience, the pause before responding depends on what your face is showing. If it looks worried or confused the pause could do worse. Also depends of the question, if someone ask you something simple like ”how are you” you better answer fast cause the person could take the pause as something bad

[@KingJulius349]

Me when I pause , instead of thinking of answering the question, am thinking of thinking , or thinking of what the person waiting for my response is thinking

[@rizztraininghamster]

consider a conversation as a quest (like in games) and you will start thinking how to succeed the quest, so keeping the discussion ok

[@agbojoadebola7428]

Lol

[@rajendertanwar1881]

Last example is LOL 😂
Great sir, thanks for clearing doubts ❤

[@PsychPatric]

Great analogy with Pokémon!
Are you soon coming to Europe? I would love to hear you on an event!

[@joyceakhigbe1284]

This video is so resourceful. But the last example made me laugh out loud 😂😂

[@KazieD]

Thats how we speak in Southern Africa 😂 we naturally emphasise all letters. Remember Nelson Mandela from South Africa?

[@danielmiller2886]

As a young American with only tv to teach me the difference in these places, I always confused British, Aussie and South African accents. Once I actually met and talked to people from those places, I can pick them up much better. I particularly like Aussie and South African accents.

[@kamleshchavan7451]

Please suggest name's of some books , which will help me in improving my English communication

[@danielmiller2886]

When I pause, no matter how briefly, someone thinks that is their cue to start talking about something totally unreleated.

[@H_B_R]

thats because they are "unfamilliar" with you

[@RussellClausse]

You need to give visual cues that you are going to continue talking.
Let them know also that you want to finish your point before u actually start speaking.
“You mind if I finish my thought here?”

[@brtoneal6339]

You probably need to take a look at another vinh's video😂

[@danielmiller2886]

@@RussellClausse You make a great point, and I do that sometimes. The biggest problem is that people listen to respond, and dont listen to "hear".

[@H_B_R]

Pausing after making a point signals that you've finished speaking, unless you pause mid-sentence or immediately after someone asks you a question. So that is why people develop the habit of using "hesitation marker" like "ummmm" and "aaaaahh" to fill the pause. Which is not actually good. So try to think of everything including ending when the question was being asked to you. If you make it up as you go it will be less coherent and you will start making up stuff including exaggerations and weird metaphors that does not make sense.

[@GraceHappy-id6zq]

Love this guy he doesn’t even know what he’s on about just makes up sh!t up as he goes and makes so much money well done 😂😂👏👏👏

[@xieryu]

I don't know about you but he helped me a lot.

[@leothegreygoose7657]

nice tattoo. That looks new.

[@lindabyrne5692]

My niece and nephew have terrible annunciation. They are 5 and 7 respectively. Can you suggest a solution for their age bracket? I am afraid they will start to have issues as they get older. Also, do you speak to Realtor groups?

[@danielcianci5176]

When I purposely pause before responding, I tend to forget what I was about to say 🙄

[@wantsomeorange]

What's intonation?

[@TraionBanres]

I just seen a ad about Legato and twinkle little stars

[@barathelango267]

Nice video Vinh, but i am more conserend about the kind books you are reading "sense that doesn't make sense", what the....
