These speaking habits kill your credibility

These speaking habits ruin your credibility! Upspeak: When you end your sentences on a high pitch - don't do this it makes you sound less certain! Vocal fry: When you don't have enough breath support when you speak - it makes you sound croaky and low energy. Speaking too fast: Often a symptom of nervousness - practice consciously slowing down when you speak. Monotone: When your delivery is FLAT. This makes you less engaging and hard to listen to. Singsong: When your voice follows a pattern of speaking that is repetitive. Think news anchors, telemarketers, etc. The moment your brain can predict how something sounds, it switches off. What speaking habits do you need to fix?
