Hi everyone I have a question. I recently started a business procuring joint venture partnerships that requires a good deal of public speaking. I have been working on my presentation by recording myself doing the presentations and playing them back to see what I can improve on.
At first I had a lot of pausers in my speech. Full of Ums, ahs, and and, and such. I've gotten rid of the pausers but now it comes across as speech disfluency. Like there are a lot of short silences or holes in my speech where these pausers used to be and it is very hard to listen to. I need to fix this because there is a lot at stake in these meetings. Has anyone else experienced this? Is there a term for it that I can ask about from a speaking coach?
