Scwair One - Starting From Scratch

Getting Schooled in Public Speaking by a 16-Year-Old – SÖS #4


Listen Later

Scwair One presents Speaking of Success (SÖS) – episode four, solo. 
The sharpest public speaking advice I've had on this whole project, and the last person I expected it from.

So far I've spent this whole thing talking to people about how to speak. 
Coaches. Broadcasters. People who do it for a living.

And some of the best advice so far came from a conversation I wasn't even really treating as one.

I asked casually... if she had any tips. She gave me three. 
One of them I'd been getting wrong my entire life and had genuinely never noticed.

She spoke purposefully. Deadpan. 
Like it was nothing. I just sat there nodding like a student.

One thing though.
I'm proud.

She's sixteen. She's my daughter.

And there's a lot more wisdom to come.

IN THIS EPISODE:

  • Why sharp, sudden hand gestures can give the wrong impression.
  • The problem with rising inflections – when the technique becomes too visible, the audience stops listening to what you're saying and starts watching how you're saying it.
  • Why public speaking is harder than acting – a distinction that makes a lot of sense once you hear it explained properly.
