    Recording yourself on video everyday is phenomenal advice. I tried it everyday for a week now and I can see a huge improvement not only in my speaking abilities but in my confidence when talking to people. I think this is the main reason why UA-camrs become so sociable and confident...its because they record themselves almost everyday and learn from their mistakes. Thanks for the video Conor.

      @@Dubai.2161 The idea of practising something everyday for a long period of time will naturally make you better at it. For instance, change speaking with running, if you run for an hour everyday, after a month or two, you'll find yourself so much better at it. You'll have more stamina, better breathing, better strides, stronger leg muscles, and overall, *you'll just be better.*
      It's hard to do it everyday but once you get the flow going it'll be easy, but you have to do it everyday, that's the only hard part.
      It's about consistency.

    What he said applies to almost everything in life. You don't get muscular with 1 month of training, but if you just keep going and grinding, you'll eventually attain a noticeable change in your body. If you want to get good at a game such as chess, as you play more and more against different players, ultimately you are going to master it. Wise words from this guy. Today's lesson was that no matter how little or big, always put it into the work and take action with what you have learned instead of just watching and reading the same or similar stuff about the subject.

    I agree! Recording your speaking and watching yourself is the best way to improve your presenting skills. I think it's because when you give yourself feedback, you've got to listen. That's why I have students bring to class their charged smartphones, so I can record them on their phones when they give their presentations. I know that they will go home, look through their apps and photos, and ask themselves, "Am I going to delete this, ignore it, or am I going to watch myself." Those who decide to watch it are headed on their way to becoming great speakers. What do you think?

      ​@@joaoS85 Hi. I 100% recommend it at least to learn the techniques to organize your thoughts and words, but it's more than public speaking workshop exercises. They also offer a way to learn how others connect ideas outside of strong articulation. There's little nudges - I won't say direct guidance - on vocabulary, emotion, captivating others etc. The primary mechanism for learning here is feedback. You are expected to share and also encourage others along. If you worked in STEM and are familiar with smart folk who can't get ideas across well, this is perfect to improve those with choppy or overly technical language. Also, the boost to your confidence and hearing encouragement from an open group definitely helps. Be gracious with yourself, but also listen and be attentive to others.

    I’ve always doubted myself, fearing my voice doesn’t sound good. I struggle to speak in front of crowds and even to talk to myself on camera. Shyness and my own thoughts hold me back. Feeling stuck, I decided to change. I started going to the gym months ago to boost my confidence.
    Today, I saw this video where you said, “Just talk to the camera, or you’ve wasted your time watching this.” Those words stuck with me, so I decided to try. It was incredibly tough, my heart was racing, but I opened my laptop, turned on the camera, and started talking.
    To my surprise, I talked for 5 minutes and 40 seconds, even though you suggested just 3 minutes. I couldn’t believe it-me, a shy, introverted person, talking to the camera for that long! I realized my voice and accent aren’t as bad as I thought.
    Thanks to your video, many of my self-doubts have vanished. Now, I’m focusing on the real reasons I struggle with public speaking, and I’m ready to work on them too. Thank you so much. This video helped me immensely.

      The original book on deliberate practice is called Peak by Anders Ericsson.
      In this book he noticed that everyone he studied that had achieved a significant level of succes in their field had approximately put in 8 to 10 thousand hours of practice.
      But those who really excelled, let’s say the top 3 were those who practiced deliberately. Meaning they got feed back on a regular basis from a coach pertaining their efforts in order to correct the mistakes made.
      Practicing 10 thousand hours whilst doing the wrong thing will not help you achieve your goal.

      Hardly all they do is dance to music or talk about nonsense for 30 seconds. Nothing remotely close to what he’s talking anout. Comments like you dont need to make useless and unrelated remarks.

    Im going to try this advice from today and see the improvement after a week or so,
    Actually i have been talking to myself for a long period of time, just uttering anythings that comes to my mind and this is to practice my English speaking skills because i dont have anyone to talk in English, so aside from heavy reading on English books novels etc, i tried to talk it out to myself whenever i have the chance.
    Im improving significantly but upon stumbling to your videos today i think this is it, another recipe to boost up everything, this is the game changer❤
    Thank you brother❤

    I am the shyest introvert ever, sadly to a fault😢. I pushed myself to host online workshops but no matter how much i try, i keep freezing and fumbling over my words. I am getting a little more confident with each workshop but i still struggle in front of people 💔. I feel like im just not made for it no matter how hard i try. The algo pushed up this video so i guess its a sign. Im going to keep trying. Thank you for your amazing advice. Bless you sir.

    thank you; i noticed that you mentioned the importance of a certain measure of randomness; as a psychology student, i noticed a very sharp divide (akin to the ideological divides present in the left-vs-right brain debates) between processes involving randomness and the ones involving reinforcement schedules; if you are interested, we would be curious about your take on what is a most productive balance between these two factors - does it depend on a person? the situation? a golden middle way? ty
