Communication Tips, part 5

I talk fast. It's one of the critiques that I've always heard from people. I talk too fast, they can't keep up. This week I'm talking communication tips, and while I really haven't slowed down my talking over the years, I have enunciated better. And that may be the key for us fast talkers. Make sure you are saying every syllable when you're communicating, and people will be able to keep up better.   One person told me to tape an E on the floor in front of me so that I could look down and remind myself to enunciate. I haven't not done that yet, but I do visualize an E somethings. I also make a note before I go out to focus on my enunciation. You might wonder why I don't slow down? Well, I don't feel comfortable. My comedy act is in a rhythm and I feel like I'm breaking that rhythm by slowing down . . . so I've tried to find other ways to be clear. And some groups, now matter how slow you go, are still not going to follow. . . and then my timing is messed up, and nothing works.   Check out my website TheWorkLady.com for more of my short jokes to see how I word them and how fast I talk.   That's it for today. Take care and enjoy your journey.
