Pace, Pause & Emphasis
“People tell me I talk too fast, and slowing down makes me sound bored.”
Control the speed of speech with pauses rather than drag, and choose the one word per line that carries the meaning.
What you will be able to do
Hear your own pace and change it on purpose
Use silence to let a point land
Mark a script so the emphasis is decided before you stand up
