In this brief confidence tip, David Price explains that a key sign of low confidence in speech is trailing off—letting volume, pace, enthusiasm, and energy drop at the end of a sentence. He advises listeners to consciously finish each sentence with the same intensity they began with, maintaining consistent volume, pace, and energy right up to the final full stop. The tip includes a self‑monitoring prompt: ask yourself if you tend to trail off, and if so, practice keeping the energy up throughout the sentence to project confidence.

Hello, David Price here, the short guy who helps you walk tall. And this is confidence tip number 84. It requires a tiny little bit of explanation. The tip is finish your sentences. Don't trail off at the end of every sentence. What that means is that people who lack a little bit of confidence let their volume, the intensity of their speech trail off at the end. Confident people don't do that. Confident people stay at the same pace, at the same volume, the same enthusiasm, the same energy all the way to the end. When you're speaking, monitor yourself. Do you tend to trail off a tiny bit at the end? If you do, then work on that and try and keep the energy up right to the last full stop.
