    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.

    Don't overcomplicate things. Read books. That's it! Your mind will automatically absorb new words and phrases and you'll start speaking more articulately on auto-pilot.

      Although reading is a great place to start, be careful not to confuse active and passive vocabulary. Reading improves passive vocabulary but does a far less effective job of improving active speech - due also to a restricted timeframe to choose your words.

    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-ql2mm
      @MrSmith-ql2mm Před 8 měsíci +54

      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.

    I achieved that with my native language, but now I’m trying to reach the same level with English. It’s way harder because I had to learn the language from the very beginning, but once you experience this feeling of mastering a language, once you experience the ability to express your deepest thoughts in the clearest way, you won’t be able to accept less than that with any other language.
    I hope I will get there someday.

    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!

    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.

    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.

      Lol, in any video where the influencer is selling something, I make it a very solid point to never purchase it. Unless I have money to burn and I really like the creator. Usually products/services sold by influencer’s are either useless, can be found much cheaper elsewhere, worse than other products, and/or detrimental to your life. Very rarely is there a product worth your time

  • @littlesjunior
    @littlesjunior Před 8 měsíci +5

    There’s a reason why for this. There’s a gate keeping of vocabulary and knowledge that defines the things that bring more life in word form
    So many schools so much education it’s as if it’s a needle in a haystack. 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

    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.
