For those starting down this path: Please do not confuse being articulate with using obscure and extravagant words just for the sake of it, at the end of the day, one tries to be articulate in order to convey thoughts effectively, be conscious of the person you're speaking with like you would be mindful with a person who speaks a different dialect or language, remember that a sign of a true smart and cultivated person is not on the fancy words they use, but on their ability to communicate with others successfully, regardless of anything.

Be very careful to not use so many uncommon words that you don't become more difficult to understand. Being articulate is to communicate more clearly. Articulate individuals can describe more complex concepts concisely. Those who swap in uncommon words to describe simple concepts requires unnecessary horsepower for the listeners. It's insufferable. Clear, concise, confident. If you need a better word, use one. If not, don't.
@MrSmith-ql2mm10 ай бұрын
absolutely this. No need to use higher levels words just to look smarter in conversation. Understanding your audience is as equally important as the articulation. It doesn't make you less intelligent to use common phrases in social situations; in fact it's likely ideal as it allows you to blend better. Standing out is not always a bonus. For example, my uncle (Harvard educated, very proper) is generally harder to relate to for the average person just due to the way he talks; he comes across as snooty/privileged without meaning to and it's entirely based on his sentence structure, word choices, and mannerisms. The smarter thing to do here is to be able to turn on more precise language when it's useful/necessary and is applicable to your audience.

Yet this video, and the gateway video which got me here, "Articulate Yourself With Incredible Precision (3 Secrets)" resonate with ideas I've held for a long time. You figuratively and literally cut out the fluff. Everything you shared in this video is connecting. For example, you spoke about a classic tool - the common place book. This is the first time I see greater value of keeping one, in a new light, after you drew the connection to historical articulation phenoms using them to train themselves to speak impactfully.

I love that you mentioned the finger tab! I do this in my every day speech unconsciously and your claim that it requires you to place a greater focus on the minutiae of your word selection and delivery is exactly correct. I am working on a channel to teach people to write higher quality rap music and one of the things I notice a lot of skilled rappers do (especially when not holding the mic) is that they move their hands in similar patterns to punctuate the words that they are delivering with their voice. One of the ways I have often thought about it is that the finger tab plays the same role as the conductor in the orchestra, subtly directing the expression that we ultimately end up hearing. While every day speech doesn't require the same level of rhythmic precision that rap does, tonality and cadence do play a role in how digestible our speech is and so the subtle habit of conducting yourself as you are speaking is unexpectedly powerful. It allows you to store a "lookahead buffer" in the memory of your body without tainting the audio of your speech.

Man, if someone asks you how was the work collective and you say "cordial", you will sound more like a jerk than articulate man. Articulate people know the vocabulary of average Joe and they use words and phrases from day to day language in the most effective way. Remember, purpose of speech is to convey meaning, not to make people reach for the dictionary. Modern vocabulary changes and some words common in the past just won't sound the way they used to. Observe, Adapt and Convey the meaning. These are the rules for being articulate in 2023.

Yes, you have a valid and justifiable point in your above statement, but you should be competent enough to learn the word substitutes and adapt according to situation, as you say, though there are times where you cannot substitute precision for the sake of comprehension by using vague and shoddy words. Saying there are rules for being articulate in 2023 you have to understand that this same 2023 and time period in history people have vastly lost skill and precision in thinking coherently through issues, articulating solutions to problems and assembling those answers into clear, concise and noteworthy words. You need to have word substitutes in your verbal arsenal that you should employ when you want to CONVEY MEANING, and not rather lurch back to vague and vapid vocabulary. You also have to consider the fact that your audience/ people you are talking to are intelligent, or at least half of them, not so much dumb they couldn't understand what you say. Look out for most people who are considered very articulate today, they employ rich vocabulary when they don't want the meaning of what they want to convey being misunderstood as a consequence of using vague words, or "vocabulary" of 2023, since our language inputs of today (netflix, movies, songs, series) has taken the beauty and broadness of communication on a downhill path by being polluted with swear words, faint and imprecise words that have affected communication in no small part!

in brief: The video discusses methods to enhance articulate speech. - **Workhorse Words**: The video begins by discussing the concept of "workhorse words," which are common and vague words that are overused in speech. Examples include words like "good" or "nice." The speaker suggests replacing these with more precise and powerful words. - **Four Steps to Replace Workhorse Words**: 1. Select a workhorse word you use excessively. 2. Identify the context in which the word is commonly used. 3. Find an articulate alternative using resources such as the Well-Spoken Thesaurus or specific ChatGPT prompts. 4. Increase awareness of the workhorse word to avoid using it. - **Commonplace Book**: The second secret to articulate speech is maintaining a commonplace book, a collection of clever phrases, concise word combinations, jokes, analogies, metaphors, and quotes that you wish to integrate into your own language. Reviewing this book regularly can help enhance language skills. - **Sentence Construction**: The speaker emphasizes the importance of using fresh and creative word combinations to make sentences more engaging and pleasurable to listen to. Avoiding cliché expressions and vague language can make communication more effective. - **Avoiding Bloated Language**: The final part of the video discusses avoiding bloated language to create lean, crisp sentences. Three types of bloated language are identified: fillers (um, ah, like), redundancy spirals (repeating the same word or phrase), and intensifiers (really, literally, kind of). - **Tips to Avoid Bloated Language**: 1. Keep your mouth closed until you've defined your starting words to avoid fillers. 2. Be aware of redundancy spirals and intensifiers and work to eliminate them. 3. Use techniques like processing the endings of words or creating a finger tab to focus on reducing bloated language in speech. In conclusion, the video provides comprehensive insights and practical tips for enhancing articulate speech, including replacing workhorse words, maintaining a commonplace book, and avoiding bloated language. The speaker encourages viewers to use these techniques to become more articulate and effective communicators.

So i believe so much of our filler words and horse work words are due to our real life communities and neighborhoods that say the literal same things nd this can go for academic essays in school and ur teacher giving u crap because stuff like this wasn’t taught so there the teach just says something like give more “detail” when writing a paper they are saying being a word smith but they don’t have the articulate and versatility of wordplay. This also goes for convers like in said video so basically these are so common reality as I seen it and experience we all say the same thing a lot and that’s due to lack of or say gate keeping of every single word known to man or planet earth. If we can have that maybe we be more creative and that could inspire,” more artists in poetry and writing,musical, lyrics, stories, movies, shows,etc. I’d never had the actual vocabulary for this I always knew but I never knew that there was a word because everything is words.but for some reason life In the last and today words are all around us and yet invisible for discovery but really u just haven’t found it yet like being in a maze. Some characters in shows or movies music do this horse work thing were they keep saying surface level word play making it mid, mediocre, lame, bland. So if someone can just find all the words known not just a dictionary I mean every single thing. That would be nice

Honestly, it just helps to read books with language that is elevated beyond the level of what you normally use, especially as audiobooks. My son is 8 and it is fascinating to see how he suddenly adds turns of phrase and long words, and becomes elaborate or concise just depending on which book we read to him the night before. And I find myself picking up the language of the books I read as well, I listen to a lot of classics and old books, and this has definitely shaped my use of English.

My intention is to make the opposite person understand everything i say exactly in the way i mean. Using complex words is good only for certain groups of well read people. But simpler words can be understood by all. For example, using apple products is way simpler because they put a lot of effort in making their interfaces simpler. I agree with the points on reducing fillers and being concise. 👍

@goldmandrummer11 ай бұрын
Be careful not to put aesthetics over accuracy, choosing "interesting" or "colorful" language that misrepresents the truth. And don't use obscure words with an audience that may not understand, or even words that take a moment to recall the meaning of because then your audience falls behind your words and loses meaning. Using common language is actually an aspect of *good* communication, because it's easier for your audience to understand. The best way to improve your communication is to understand your audience.

my only problem with "improving your speech and langauge" is, like what was mentioned in the video, 99% of us speak slang or don't care to use coherent sentences, very rarely do we find ourselves in conversations where we are required to speak at a higher level. so putting your lessons in to practice is harder IRL

are you the thought police? There's a time a place for 'articulate' words. Describing a sandwich as 'exquisite' doesn't make you a well spoken person. In reality, everything is too complex to fully describe so people use words like 'good' to simplify the scale of what they experienced into something they know is generally understood about what they're describing

This is excellent material assuming you are committed to gaining a certain conception of articulacy. It's so good that it makes me want to clarify the situations in which you should commit to this conception. Wittgenstein pointed out the subtler ways that language works. Our language and the way we use it express the concepts that furnish our world, express our values, and our very form of life. So, um, here are some thoughts I have: (1) less well educated people who work all hours of the day are part of "our generation". I don't think these people will ever become highly articulate, and I don't begrudge them for it. So, Joseph, I don't share your dream of making this generation the most articulate. (2) Filler words communicate that you are rendering a response. Their externalization is a mark of respect to the listener, essentially saying "look, I'm sorry to keep you waiting, but I want you to know that I am constructing my response". In fact, they can be a mark of respect in a power dynamic. (3) I don't agree with your argument that intensifiers such as "very" detract from the word. They communicate the passion of the speaker for the subject matter. I know it's a really widely held belief that intensifiers are bad, probably because of Grammarly etc. But this is no argument. (4) If you're in a room full of people who all use the word "like" or "virtually" or "literally", and you want to fit it, then not using these words is the perfect way to fail to fit in... (5) A more general objection is that language is not only a tool for producing pleasure in listeners. It can also be used to think. Or rather - to work out what we think. "Redundancy spirals" can sometimes be external demonstrations to listeners that they are crafting the concept. It's worth noting, I think, that if you really DID have your dream, and spoke in exact precision all the time, then you would occasionally display an offensive certainty. A mother ought not to be articulate in discovering her dead son. A soldier ought not to be articulate when injured. Articulacy is a product of well established thoughts, but no mark of thinking - of the process of attempting to articulate what hasn't yet been articulated. King's speeches were articulate partly *because* they made explicit certain struggles experienced by a multitude, not *despite* the previous inarticulacy of the suffering. Ultimately, if you follow the advice in this video, on top of what your words are communicating, you will also communicate that you have enough time to make a "Commonplace book". I'm not saying that's a bad thing. You do have one, after all. But not everything does have the time to have one. (more generally, not everyone on earth can go to school). Therefore not everyone ought to communicate this. I am a fan of this video and this is a rather advanced critique - I know that you are mainly advising people who feel that the lack of precision in their speaking is such that it's making precise would bring benefits.

I um liked your video! It was really, really, good. On a more serious note though, I wish you would have given at least of example from each category on your commonplace book. I want to be able to maximize the value of creating one, but I do quite understand how to use it. I understand the reason you might not want to just share yours completely, but doing a future video touching on each category them would be greatly appreciated.
