  • Today I elaborate on how the rhetoric and rhythm of poetic verses have helped me find my voice and become more articulate. Whether you're a seasoned wordsmith or just starting to explore the world of verse, this video should provide you with action items to improve your communication. We discuss how poetry can make you more articulate, how to read poetry, and what poets and poems are conducive to cultivating better speaking.

    You are the first person that I find talking about how to improve articulate speech. This is a topic that I have always wanted to explore. I’ve never came across a UA-cam channel like yours. Keep up the good work man.

    This was... a cascading symphony of eloquence and articulacy. Your enunciation, expression and creativity was truly awe-inspiring yet so brilliantly simplistic. This was truly a pleasure to listen to.

    here are a few poems that i love with dictions that i find useful:
    - eel tail by alice oswald
    - australia 1970 by judith wright (a lot of dictions associated with anger)
    - fears of solitude by samuel coleridge
    - the darkling thrush by thomas hardy
    - shw was a phantom of delight by william wordsworth

    I love the research you have done towards great articulation, one i would love for you to explain or analyse, is the thought process of a great speaker Jordan Petterson. I do understand that the pauses, the clarity of speech makes him one of the greatest. But hearing ur thoughts about this would be amazing. Also, can you make a video explaining differences in silent reading vs reading outloud and in which speed you should read. Some like to read fast, some like to read slow to comprehend the words. Which do you suggest is the most efficient mirroring towards bettering articulation.

    Congrats on the channel! Very impactful subject. I’d like to suggest a topic. I’m dyslexic. I’m a slow and inefficient reader. Somehow, I manage to structure well written texts (except for the typos). But what bothers me the most is that I have a vey hard time with speech. The right words don’t come to mind at the heat of the moment. I switch up words that sound vaguely similar. Portuguese is my mother tongue. And I went to middle and high school in the US, so I am technically fluent in both Portuguese and English. But sometimes I feel like I don’t dominate neither. 😂 It would be awesome if you could share anything on dislexia, how to mitigate it, specifically its impact on speech.

    My natural inclination is to speak this way, with a breadth of dynamics and prosody -- never forced, I'm just naturally verbally expressive. Until a couple of new friends made fun of me for "talking like a scripted movie character instead of a real person". This made me feel embarrassed and self-conscious, and now I've noticed I have a blockage that prevents me from speaking as I once did.

    The sun solemnly stated, "How can my light compare to his?"
    And the moon laughed, "Be like me, content to reveal another's light."
    The North Star declared, "What guidance can I provide next to his?"
    And all the stars exclaimed, "Be like us, who revolve around you and show no envy."
    The sea shouted, "What secrets can I contain when compared to his wonders?"
    The clouds pleaded, "Be like us, exalted in the sky, because we humbly draw our water from another, and pour forth in gratitude and service."
    The Rose ruefully remarked, "What beauty do I have next to his?"
    The mirror said, "Be like me, who can only reflect another's beauty."
    Reason exclaimed, "What wisdom can I reveal next to his revelation?"
    The tongue replied, "Be still and let me quote him."
    Gold complained, "What worth do I have next to his?"
    Copper cried, "What ingratitude! Your purity was his from the start. Be happy to be compared to him."
    The dog barked, "He mentioned me."
    The cat meowed, "He petted me."
    The donkey brayed, "He rode on me."
    The horse neighed, "He called me an ocean."
    The camel grunted, "I took him to safety."
    The frog croaked, "I was his favorite."
    The spider stood tall on eight legs and stately stated, "I protected him once."
    The cloud boasted, "I shaded him."
    The tree declared, "He called me and I bowed to him."
    The palm trunk said, "Well, he hugged me."
    The date gloated, "I was sweet for him."
    Milk exalted, "I nourished him.”
    Water crowed, "I quenched his thirst."
    The Kaaba shouted, "And he circled me."
    The Yemeni corner replied, "He touched me."
    The Blackstone laughed and said, "He kissed me."
    The pebbles yelled, "We praise God in his palm."
    The mountains of Mecca called out, "He loved us."
    Medina demurely whispered, "He chose me."
    And humanity cried, “Nafsi nafsi, me me."
    And God said, "Be like Ahmad."
    And Ahmad said, "Ummati ummati, my community, my community."
    And God replied, "We will grant you until you are content."

    “In the room the women come and go
    Talking of Michelangelo.
    The yellow fog that rubs its back upon the window-panes,
    The yellow smoke that rubs its muzzle on the window-panes,
    Licked its tongue into the corners of the evening,
    Lingered upon the pools that stand in drains,
    Let fall upon its back the soot that falls from chimneys,
    Slipped by the terrace, made a sudden leap,
    And seeing that it was a soft October night,
    Curled once about the house, and fell asleep.”

    The power, the pitch, the _pace_ and the *_pause_* ... of poetry. The utter precision of and seemingly spontaneous alliteration of this phrase, one that's central to your video's point, is just amazing to witness in what seems to be unscripted real time. Above all that, you somehow find a way to speak nearly every word in that phrase in a way true to its name. You truly practice what you preach as a speaker, and it comes across in every, single one of your videos. Nearly every comment on this video is eloquently written because of the impact of your proficient speaking on your audience's communication and writing. Please keep up the amazing content!!!
