Was a bit late on this week’s iteration of Record and Review. The days are getting longer and I’ve found myself staying out late driving the sunset road when I should probably be settling in for the night. I’ll get it sorted. Anyway, for this week we were still working on filler words. I have noticed a slight improvement, but still catch myself saying, “you know”, “like”, “um”, and “but um” enough for me to feel the need to continue addressing them. One thing I’ve also started noticing is that I will segue from one sentence or topic to another really fast. Like, without a space between my sentences. Either that, or I’ll splice them together with an “and” where totally unnecessary. So for the upcoming week I’d like to watch out for those as well.
I also subconsciously have been working on eye contact with people and the camera, so let’s add that to the list of needs improvement. Working on it! There are a list of other things I’d like to address in the future, like my swaying, or odd hand motions. But let’s cross that bridge when we get there.
