It's been over a month since I started podcasting! Feels quite incredible to be honest, so here's one to the future, and all that it may hold!

From Scratch to Stage

My First Month Podcasting; A Retrospect

It's good to be back! Hello again from behind the Great Firewall of  China, where it's been difficult to reach out lately, thanks to their  National Day coming up. Now that I'm back again, I'd like to share  two tips on how to improve your posture onstage, as well as your  gestures. Here we go!

2 Tips to Enhance Your Stage Presence

After discussing the voice and how to use it in the previous episodes, I just remember a bad memory of mine, and realized that there is another big mental barrier that is holding many people back from taking the stage and doing any kind of public speaking. The fact is that most people don't like the sound of their own voice. And if they don't like it,how can anyone else possibly like it? How important is it to have a great voice? How important is it to love your own voice? That's what today is all about!

Love Your Voice

Here's the next installment on voice control. This time, we'll talk more in depth about pacing and pausing, and the effect they have on your speech.

Pitching, Pacing, and Pausing pt2

Let's keep talking about the voice! Continuing on from the last video, here are even more tips here on how to use your voice as a weapon to get your message across. The focus this time is on the holy trinity of pitching, pacing, and pausing...

Pitching, Pacing,and Pausing

Now, let's talk about our primary weapon for speaking, namely the voice. A special shoutout to my friend @Mari Shofner for inspiring me to add some singing and singing experience into these  talks on public speaking, I've really enjoyed it so far! A lot can be said,and has been said, about how to use the voice to better get our message across, and I  will definitely return to this topic many times in the future. But for  now, here's some tips to get you started, even if you're not a fan of  singing ;) Here's the silly voices skit I mentioned, unfortunately it's audio only; https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fwc1FW_Ajx8

You're the Voice!

Here we go, picking up where we left off last time! Last time we talked about a few ways to prepare yourself before giving a speech, this time we'll focus on one of the key ingredients of a speech or presentation, namely the script. But is it even necessary to have one? Here's my take on this age old question. What's your idea on this matter? ;)

The Script

Hey there! In the last episode, I mentioned that one of the keys to commanding the stage is confidence, and that one of the best ways to gain confidence is to be properly prepared. So how do you get prepared then? Here, I'll show you three ways to prepare yourself. These ideas may seem unorthodox at first, but you should try them and see what happens...
