Those are the local variants of ehs and euhms. http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=17547#Comments http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=17547#Comments Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:27:11 GMT Nancy sampleCategory Thanks, this was very instructive. I like sugggestions that are clear--just shut-up. It was funny that when I went to your podcast link, the announcer's speeech was riddled with mmm and ah. http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=17546#Comments http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=17546#Comments Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:24:55 GMT Sara sampleCategory Excellent! I'd like to add how irritating it is that so many people tag their statements with "or whatever", "or something", "you know", etc. I work with someone who starts every sentence with "What happened was...". http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=17545#Comments http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=17545#Comments Tue, 23 Jun 2009 17:24:20 GMT Jim S sampleCategory These are great. I have listened to hundreds of podcasts and these perfect in length and done very very well! Jeff's sales tips are very good too. PS: I found you through one of his recent podcasts. Keep up the great work! http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=14134#Comments http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=14134#Comments Wed, 01 Oct 2008 00:35:31 GMT Bill Steinhagen sampleCategory I believe the episodes are useful but too long. Try to shorten in order to retain your audience. http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=14063#Comments http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=14063#Comments Thu, 25 Sep 2008 17:51:56 GMT Jacovie sampleCategory I love this podcast! I do have one point I'd like to bring out, coming from a Japanese speaking background. For the Japanese disfluencies, you have the correct words, but the pronunciation is a little different: ??? is pronounced "eeto", or like "eh toe". the way it was pronounced in the podcast was "eh-tuu" ??? is pronounced "anou", or like "ah no". You actually pronounced that one very well. I hope that helps! I apologize for any mistakes in my English. http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=14045#Comments http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx?commentid=14045#Comments Thu, 25 Sep 2008 03:05:03 GMT Wed, 09 Sep 2009 12:49:19 GMT http://publicspeaker.quickanddirtytips.com/Um-Ah-Eliminate-Disfluencies.aspx feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Managing Editor) feedback@quickanddirtytips.com (Webmaster) en-us
