It’s awful right? Your throat gets scratchy & irritated and you might even have to cough. Not so good during a speech or interview

Too much saliva is also bad. You’re gonna have to swallow and that’s also tough during a speech or conversation

Swallowing your words really means swallowing AS you say your words. That’s why folks notice it. It makes you sound nervous and unsure

• Swallow before or after you say a word, in the spaces
• Take your time
• Use pauses wisely
• You’ll give yourself space to clear your mouth, control your breathing, and catch your breath
• You will sound thoughtful and smart when you make space for vocal housekeeping
• Folks won’t notice your swallows as much
• You won’t run out of breath
• Don’t be afraid of pausing. You need those quick rest stops along the road of your speech or conversation
• You’ll sound and feel more calm and confident.
