A short conversational excerpt about the importance of pausing in public speaking. Speakers discuss learning to 'take it to zero'—holding silence briefly so audiences can absorb material—and note that performers (including comedians) often fail to pause, rushing to the next line before the audience fully reacts.

When I was working with mentors of mine, when I. When I was moving from acting to public speaking, I was told over and over again, jimmy, you're very engaging. He's like, you're great. You keep great pacing. He's like, every once in a while, you got to trust and take it to zero and be able to sit in it just for a second and give them a moment.
Yeah. It's the mistake a lot of comedians make is they go on to the next joke without letting the audience absorb the first joke and laugh at it.
