How I used making DTube videos to improve my public speaking

in #video6 years ago (edited)


I saw someone who I watch from time to time on DTube talk about this topic and I wanted to give my two cent. Making videos is definitely something which has improved my speaking skills. Along with that it has also helped my confidence a lot.

In high school I used to have a really bad lisp and eventually at 16 years old I went for speech therapy.
This involved a lot of practice in front of the mirror, something which is so similar to making videos.
The latter might even be better to be honest.
It has definitely helped me become a better speaker, something which was not my motivation to start DTube but I'm very happy that it happened.
Let me know what you think in the comments. Thanks for watching!

Hi Paul,
Really interesting. I was searching for videos on public speaking and your channel came up. I have an interest in Ironman so your cycling also caught my eye. I'm looking to get into vlogging on a new channel for this very reason. I regularly do public speaking at work but always get SUPER nervous. I thought Vlogs would potentially help so interesting to hear your points.
Thanks, will be watching out for your videos!

Hey, thanks for checking out my videos! Making vlogs and these one take videos has definitely help me become a better speaker and get my thoughts across.

It helped a bit with confidence but nothing helped as much as when I forced myself to relax. I wish I did it sooner because some of my oral speaking test in school did not go well because my nerves would always destroy my ability to speak properly.

It's amazing how our thought process can align. Was gon' do a video bothering on this as well. My speaking has really improved making dtube videos.

Though not so perfect as yet, but the improvement is so significant.

Thanks for this Paul.

Yeah it really does help! I remember how bad my speech and confidence was when I just got started filming videos maybe 2 years ago. I'm happy with how far I've come since then.

Keep working hard and improving man!

I think i need to try out the video part to perfect in public speaking. I have had that challenge not until was advised by my close friend to try practicing in front of a mirror. It has done some magic but I think I need to accompany it with video for more quicker results.

Give it a try. Practicing in front of the mirror is a great start though

Yeah i like the standing before the mirror part. I use to do that before. Perhaps i should revisit.

Very nice Video!
