This video details the stages of articulate speech that I underwent in learning to improve my communication. We discuss how to avoid dead phrases, small surface lexicons, and poor thought retention. I share details about an epiphany moment and how our language is a product of our inputs. Third, how one can begin to change the way they speak with the 3x5 language diet, increasing their consciousness per sentence, and cultivating intellectual humility. If you're wanting to learn how to speak more articulately and satisfactorily, how to become well-spoken, how to speak assertively, I do believe this video will help you achieve those ends.

    I used this technique and my sentences are bussin' now no cap.
  • @lengting
    I realised I tend to develop a lisp when I’m under pressure, but when I’m around people I’m comfortable with I speak clearly
  • @goatmaneric
    My favorite example of a dead phrase is "be sure to like, comment, and subscribe!" His avoidance of that phrase earned all three from me.
  • @OrenTube70
    What makes this video so powerful is that the speaker deeply practiced the principles he explains

    This comment section feels like a party where everyone holds a fancy drink and pretends to enjoy the small talk :D I noticed this tendency that people copy the style of the speakers of the videos online. On some business content everybody talks and evaluates business ideas like they are some kind of business sharks and have millions to invest :D And under funny videos everybody copies the slang. Here - everybody is suddenly sophisticated speakers and eloquent banterers :D People love to belong. Don't get me wrong - I do it too, but it's fun to reflect on these things ;D

    This video is a proof that the reason for our short attention span is not just our dopamine hungry minds but the value that is missing from the content creators. I didn’t wonder for a moment watching this video.

    As an academic, every day is filled with articulate speakers. Two main observations include: 1. Some just aren’t articulate speakers, and that’s okay. 2. What we actually value in discourse are colleagues that can communicate the most information in the simplest way, i.e., using the simplest language.

    He said " prostitute." That is a word I have in my surface lexicon but never tried to verbally flex.
  • @stansvitsa1
    Speaking simple and to the point is also an art.

    Over the years, I have learnt through peer-to-peer communication that the way we articulate ourselves has a profound impact on the way others perceive us. I had made an effort to consciously speak using positive sentences. For example, if I don't appreciate someone doing something, instead of instructing them to not do that particular activity, I would direct them to do what I want. These small changes shifted my view and lead me to be positive. I find Mohammad Ali to be very charming. He speaks eloquently with playfulness. Thank you for helping me understand what I could work on to better myself.
  • @ShazWag
    To be more articulate, some of these "dead phrases" you mentioned are known as idioms and colloquialisms
  • @NaomiGwen
    can't believe this is free... thank you!
  • Person A: "Hey! Howdy??" Person B: "Hmm... How am I? ... I find myself in a state of introspective contemplation, pondering the profundities of existence and the myriad intricacies of human interaction."
  • @TanjaPesic
    No fancy ingredients, the recipe is simple... the more you read the more sophisticated you sound
  • @lyfeelai5553
    You speaking with no filler words is a reason for me to continue watching the video 😮

    Outstanding. Organized. Dense. Concise. Guess that’s the point. Thank you.
  • @cheunky
    Bro i think ur speech is powerful and certainly better than mine. But often you reach for words just to try and sound “more articulate” my opinion is that articulacy is also simplicity. If your trying your best to find “specific” vocab you in turn, make it harder to understand what you’re trying your best to communicate
  • @johnpazan2189
    Wow. The amount of information you're giving away simply because you want to help people be more articulate is amazing. Thank you Joseph for being so open about sharing your discoveries to help other people transform their vocabulary and improve their confidence. You're the man

    Silence is a powerful tool to replace dead phrases and cold starts. Just be quiet and think before saying anything. It will create attention. Also, making short numbered lists as an answer. This impresses people even if you remember a last point you want to add. It also invites them to add points further, making it an engaging invitation to think together. But never choose a high number, because if you don’t get to it, it will backlash as pretentious. If can’t do it confidently right away, announce to your audience you will proceed by listing points as answers. This will give them certainty you are thinking out loud and on the spot, which is inviting, impressive and intellectually honest. It radiates confidence. ALWAYS say the numbers out loud, they organize your speech and force you not to digress. Example: “What do you think about education?” “I think we should approach your question in two ways: 1. Education as an experience, and 2. Education as a system” Now you are free to digress, because you framed the answer in an interesting way. If you digress too much on number 1, coming back to number 2 will also strike people, as tour memory will look sharp and you will be perceived as someone who connect ideas.
