Public Speaking Drills: How to Stop Pausing Mid-Sentence
from Speaking Clearly · host Patrick
Do you find yourself pausing awkwardly in the middle of a sentence when speaking without notes? In Episode 10 of Speaking Clearly, I tackle mid-sentence pauses and explore how to train your brain and breath to deliver continuous, complete thoughts. To fix this common speech habit, I practice a "single-breath" drill alongside an expanded four-bullet prompt layout. I share my own unedited practice. Personally I am working to eliminate mid-thought pauses to formulate what comes next. I use my morning pour-over V60 coffee ritual as an example to practice steady pacing, structured transitions, and intentional breathing. I am on my own path toward improving my communication. I want to share my practice as I work to eliminate hesitation, improve conversational speaking, and get comforatable with unscripted communication. I practice daily, follow along as I work on my public speakingConnect With Me: This podcast is my personal training ground to become a skilled communicator. I would love to hear who you are, what speaking habits you are trying to break, and your thoughts on this episode! Reach out via email at [email protected]. Email - [email protected] - 2026 Patrick
