Jay Shaw explains why obsessing over how fast you talk or how you gesture backfires. Instead of micromanaging each detail, focus on feeling confident and let your body handle the rest naturally.
How's my talking pace? Am I talking too fast? Your talking pace was fine until you started trying to consciously control what wasn't meant to be consciously controlled. So your job is to— what's the overarching goal? And if you like, if being confident is the overarching goal, if I just become confident, my hands gonna go where they need to go. The tone of my voice is going to do what it needs to do. The speed of my talking will speed up and slow down as it needs to. And it'll make perfect sense.
