I have a tendency of speaking too fast without knowing it, any suggestion of what I should do?

Answer 1

I also tend to speak too fast,,especially on the phone leaving messages....Just try to think about what you are saying and practice talking slowly ,,listen to your messages and keep trying to slow them down...I have to make a conscience effort to slow my talking down also..GOOD LUCK!!

Answer 2

My fiancee does the same thing. She says that the way she speaks slowly is to pretend that everyone she talks to is slow and tries to explain everything, haha. I don't know if that's the best thing to do, though. I would just try and remember to talk slower than usual. If you can't, then don't worry about it...people will learn to listen better to you.

Answer 3

You can overcome it but it takes a little concentration and practice. Before you open your mouth to speak, try to remember to take a deep breath first. When you get to where you automatically remember to take that deep breath, you're more aware of how fast you are speaking.

Answer 4

Think before speaking. Train yourself to speak slower. If you think of each word as you speak, you will see a difference.

Best wishes!

Answer 5

Think as you are speaking and be sure you are inunciating clearly. Practice slowing yourself down.
