Public Speaking: Eliminate Verbal Tics, Uh, Um, Er, Ya Know (Udemy.com)

I recommend TJ Walker's course. I have taken several and I am still learning. He covers everything you need to know in bite sized chunks. I find myself returning to review parts of the course so it's great to have lifetime access to his lectures and my own notes.

Yeah I can relate it with my personal experience. If I was fluent then there were some points that I was missing during the presentation, or if I use so many (a,umm,err) it sounds like I'm not confident enough. After listening to this now I know what to do during these kind of situation....just take a pause and continue your speech.

It's interesting, with some tips that would be useful, though I would have like to see a video mention (just mention) that body language makes a difference on how you are perceived. As well as mentioning that it's not only the amount of times but where in the speech you do it (e.g. mid sentence = not good, end of sentence/beginning to gather your thoughts/if you get interrupted by someone asking a question therefore interrupting you train of thought = gets a pass).

TJ (the teacher) makes you think about the real issues that may cause you to be nervous when speaking publicly. A quick course but very condensed and it has really helped. I'd also highly recommend subscribing to his YouTube channel. It's also very informative.

the 15th lecture of this course should be the preview lecturfe so that people will know what they are gonna taste throughout the series in a better manner

It was a wonderful course and i hope it will help me my public speaking skills to improve.

I always hated TikTok, but now I tried making few videos on it and it's helpful. The suggestion of recording video of presentation again and again before being happy with the outcome helped too. Thank you giving so many advises in such a short course.

Until starting this course I did not realize how many times very well known communicators use verbal tics. TJ Walker helps to avoid them. His tips are really good. I love the way he explains. My favourite videos are when he tells you what to avoid as bad tips or habits. He is the best speaker in Udemy!

Thanks Master! By taking this course I worked and understood the following: ☑ to focus on communication. ☑ To practice more and get more better using cell phone. ☑ not to tell audience! "sorry about Uh, Um...those verbal tics." I think it would be great if you add some more exercise. for example the money Rubber technique to eliminate verbal tics. But I understood the key not to focus so much on eliminating of verbal tics, focus on communication instead.

I found this course helped dispel some myths on common public presentation techniques people would find online. For instance, you advise people not to picture the audience naked, and instead focus on your speech in helping an individual understand the message. Some of the examples you asked us to do i.e video practices, and pausing one's thought are practical to me.
