शैडोइंग अभ्यास: Give me 14 minutes and I'll help you think & speak faster - वीडियो के साथ अंग्रेजी बोलना सीखें

How do you train your brain and your mouth to be able to think and speak faster?

You see, if your brain takes longer to process thoughts,

it can be harder for you to formulate your responses in real time,

causing you to speak slower.

This can be really frustrating when you're trying to keep up with others.

The exercises

that I'm going to share with you in this video have not only helped me achieve faster rates of speech

and for me to be able to process my thoughts quicker,

but it's also helped thousands of my students transform their ability to think and speak faster while maintaining clarity.

The first one we'll address is Vin,

how do I speak faster?

To speak faster, I've got three thoughts on this.

The first thing is you've got to improve the mechanics.

You've got to improve the hardware.

You've got to improve your ability to speak faster,

which means that you need to be able to learn tongue twisters and you need to be able to do tongue twisters.

Tongue twisters are beautiful because they help improve your articulation

and as you improve your articulation you'll be able to speak faster

because you'll start to develop the muscle strength in your lips,

in your tongue,

you'll start to learn the efficient movements you need to make within your mouth to be able to speak more quickly.

And the way you do this is go to Google or chat GPT,

whatever you like, find the top 50 tongue twisters.

And then what you want to do is read one tongue twister five times.

Okay.

So you don't just read one tongue twister once.

You read it five times,

but each time you read it in the five times,

you get faster and faster and faster and faster.

And again, what you're training yourself to do there is not just to speak more quickly without clarity.

Tongue twisters are built in a way where it kind of trips you up, right?

So if you try to read it too quickly before you have good articulation,

you just go and you won't be able to read it.

And again, what that does is it enhances your articulation ability while you're building the ability to speak faster.

What does that mean?

It means that that means you now can speak more quickly while still having complete clarity.

And you'll notice this in some people,

myself as an example, I now can speak pretty quickly with great articulation.

And as a result of me being able to do that,

even though I speak quickly,

you can still understand me perfectly fine.

Whereas for a lot of people,

when they speak really quickly,

all of a sudden now,

you can't understand what they're saying.

Right?

And again, that's an over-exaggerated example of what happens to people,

but basically that's what happens.

And then it just sounds like they're mumbling.

Not throwing shade at mumble rap,

but there are times when I listen to mumble rap and I go,

I have no idea what that person's saying.

Don't get me wrong, the mumble rap is,

it's catchy, but I'm just saying,

what the f* are you saying?

Pet, pet, pet, kip, tip, p- Lifestyle.

Just f*ing mumbled him and said one word.

And again, it's because the articulation in those moments, it's really poor.

Now, the second thing that I would recommend is I'd recommend you looking for a 300 word story.

Okay, so look for a 300 word story,

grab the 300 word story,

start reading it and stop at the one minute mark.

All right, so you just get a timer.

You've got the timer, you press start on the timer and then you just read the story.

And then once it gets to one minute, stop.

And then mark in the story where you've stopped and now count how many words you were able to read.

Now, once you've done this,

you will essentially get your average rate of speech per minute.

So the first time you read it,

you go, oh, well, I got to about 100 words per minute.

Cool.

Great.

No worries.

That's okay.

That's just where you currently are.

Now the next time you do this,

I want you to start adding an extra 10 words to that average speaking rate.

So you wanna get to 110 words.

So read a little bit faster.

And then the next time you do it,

start your timer and then now read with a little bit more speed.

And then you'll do it and you go,

oh wow, I got to 120 words per minute, great.

And then the next time you do it again,

try to get to 140 words, 150 words, 160 words.

And this is how you can intentionally practice rate of speech.

And you can literally measure your progress.

And if you find yourself,

oh, I'm still struggling, I can't get past 120 words,

then now I want you to sit and reflect.

What's stopping you from being able to do that?

And you might find that,

oh, I find that my mouth can't keep up.

Okay, back to the tongue twister activities.

So start with that.

That's the second activity I want you to try.

Now, the third thing is breath control.

The most common problem is when you have poor breath control,

the key area that people suffer in that causes them to speak more slowly,

100

it's that they're expelling too much breath per word.

101

So if I'm too breathy when I speak,

102

it forces me to slow down because I have to take more breaths when I speak, right?

103

And I'll give you an example.

104

If I'm using lots of breath per word,

105

I can go, hi, everyone.

106

I just want to be able to share with you a few thoughts that I have.

107

Notice how I'm very breathy.

108

You want to control the amount of breath that's escaping your mouth.

109

And psychologically, you want to think to yourself,

110

I want to let the breath ease out of me,

111

not just be pushed out of me.

112

I want to be able to control the breath that comes out.

113

here's the cool thing that happens because if I take a deep breath now

114

if I really control the amount of breath that's coming out

115

and I support each word with just the right amount of breath

116

that comes out of my mouth I'm able to speak for

117

an extended period of time without taking a breath like I

118

can just for an example keep going with this this is just one breath

119

that I've just taken before

120

and I can still go with this breath that's you being

121

efficient with your best breath control one of the things you should practice

122

if you want to get really good that breath control is just taking a deep breath and making an S sound.

123

So you take a deep breath,

124

you make an S sound until you run out of air and you go like this.

125

and you go for as long as you possibly can.

126

That's mimicking good breath support.

127

That's mimicking also the right amount of air you want to expel while you're speaking.

128

And you want to start to develop that sensitivity to,

129

all right, so that's the amount of air I want to be expelling.

130

Not, hi, everyone, great to see you.

131

And then you're out already, right?

132

Because you're pushing the air out.

133

The more advanced one I want to add on here for

134

you as well is you can also practice counting in the same way.

135

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

136

6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

137

11, 12, 13, 14, 15,

138

16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21.

139

Notice what I'm doing here.

140

I'm giving every single number the exact amount of breath.

141

And I'm energizing every single number that I count with the exact amount of energy.

142

Whereas the biggest mistake that most people make is,

143

this is what they do.

144

They start really breathy.

145

And then after that, they're trying to continue to count or speak.

146

And then they start to strain their voice.

147

1, 2, 3, 4, 5,

148

6, 7, 8, 9, 10,

149

11, 12, 13, 14, 15.

150

And then all of a sudden you get that croaky voice at the end of it.

151

It's called vocal fry.

152

Now, if you notice it again,

153

it's invisible until you see it.

154

But now that you see it, you can't unsee it.

155

But the thing that Vin does really well is I energize every single word in the sentence,

156

including the last.

157

And as you practice this as well,

158

it allows you to speak more quickly,

159

but do so in a way that's influential and engaging.

160

Hey, I hope you're enjoying the video so far.

161

And I just want to say that if you're watching the video up until this point,

162

it seems as if you've developed a little bit of an itch

163

and you may want to take your communication skills to the next level.

164

And if you do, I run free communication masterclasses for two hours

165

where you can join me for free and learn in a structured way.

168

Anyway, back to the video.

169

Moving to the second part of the question,

170

and it's how can I think more quickly?

171

Now, this is a loaded one too,

172

because there are so many different ways in which you can think more quickly,

173

but I'll give you my top three thoughts.

174

The first overall thought that I want to share with you is this.

175

Seek to understand, not memorize your area of expertise.

176

For a lot of you,

177

you're in a professional setting and you're going,

178

sometimes it takes me a long time to formulate my answer.

179

And then all of a sudden,

180

it seems like I don't know what I'm talking about.

181

Ah, damn, it makes me decrease my credibility and I feel lame.

182

And this is a question people often ask me,

183

how can I think quicker on this particular area?

184

Often it's from people who are fairly new to an area of expertise.

185

They're fairly new to a job.

186

They're fairly new to this career.

187

They're new to an industry.

188

When you fully understand something,

189

you're not having to go,

190

wait, what was the answer for this again?

191

Wait, you don't have to go into that part of your brain where it's memory retrieval, right?

192

If you want to become quicker at being able to answer people,

193

you need a deeper understanding of that topic.

194

You can achieve that by get three books on that topic.

195

Go deeper.

196

If you are in real estate and you are a realtor,

197

maybe you should go grab five books understand more about developments if that's the area you specialize in real estate.

198

Get really good with what the council rules are,

199

what the county rules are,

200

tax benefits of being able to do X versus Y versus Z,

201

understanding how to work with banks,

202

how to work with builders,

203

how to work with contractors.

204

Again, just really download all that information,

205

get really good understanding and depth on it.

206

Then once you've got that,

207

then the second thing you need to learn is frameworks.

208

frameworks on how to communicate your area of expertise,

209

frameworks on how to communicate complex things.

210

And the most important framework you can learn is the 3-2-1 framework.

211

The 3-2-1 framework is very simply three steps,

212

two types, the one thing.

213

So when someone asks you a question,

214

think in that framework, you could either pick,

215

there are three steps to whatever you just asked me,

216

there are two types of whatever you just asked me,

217

or the one thing about what you just asked me is.

218

I'll give you an example.

219

This happens to me often because people sometimes will see me in public

220

and they do know who I am and they go,

221

oh, Vin, great to see you.

222

Oh my goodness.

223

And I always love these interactions.

224

They're beautiful.

225

And then people always ask me a question, a loaded question.

226

They go, Vin, what should I do with my communication skills?

227

What should I do to improve my communication skills?

228

And that's a loaded question because there are so many things you can do to improve your communication skills,

229

but they're just asking me,

230

what should I do then to be able to improve the way I communicate?

231

And then I've got the framework, right?

232

I've got, there are three steps to improving your communication skills.

233

There are two types, two ways to be able to improve your communication skills or the one thing, right?

234

So in that particular example,

235

I just would immediately go to the one thing.

236

Because instead of my brain going,

237

oh my God, there's so many things you can do to improve.

238

What do I do?

239

Do I talk about breath work?

240

Do I now talk about articulation and the importance of that?

241

Do I talk about tonality?

242

Do I talk about vocal archetypes?

243

Do I talk about storytelling?

244

Do I talk about body language?

245

Do I talk about active?

246

Your brain's going to go crazy.

247

So even though I have depth of knowledge,

248

if I don't have this framework,

249

my brain will just melt down.

250

So instead of allowing the brain to go through a meltdown,

251

I just pick one of the three in that framework.

252

So again, I'm just going to pick the one thing.

253

So I'd say to that person,

254

hey, the one thing you should focus on as you begin your journey is self-awareness.

255

You need to be able to become more aware of what your non-functional behaviors are.

256

So all I would get you to do is record a video of yourself and watch yourself back.

257

Start there.

258

I was able to answer that question in a moment with depth

259

and clarity and also in a way that is simple and coherent.

260

And then if the person wants more,

261

they can ask follow-up questions.

262

Whereas a lot of the times experts feel they have to give the other person everything.

263

No, because if you gave them everything, you overwhelm them.

264

No, no, no. The goal is to be able to use the 3-2-1 framework to answer the question.

265

And often you go with the one thing because that's very powerful.

266

And then if they want more, they'll ask for it.

267

And then the final thing I would say that's going to be able to help you think faster

268

is reduce the levels of anxiety and stress.

269

Because when you are anxious and you're stressed,

270

it impairs your ability to think clearly.

271

And if you know you're going to be going into a situation that's going to cause you to be stressed

272

and also going to cause you to feel lots of anxiety,

273

then make sure you prepare.

274

Make sure before you go into it,

275

part of the prep work is breathing.

276

And I know every time I say this,

277

people go, oh my God,

278

breathing, breathing is so lame.

279

No, you're alive because of breathing.

280

There are workshops that I've done that's taken four,

281

five days, seven days, and it's just purely on breathing.

282

And the first thing that I wanna make you aware of is diaphragmatic breathing.

283

If you don't know how to take a diaphragmatic breath,

284

I highly encourage you to go look up on YouTube, diaphragmatic breathing.

285

There are countless videos out there that teach you how to take a belly breath instead of taking a chest breathing,

286

instead of doing chest breathing,

287

instead of shallow breathing, like that.

288

You take deep breaths into your belly.

289

Back to what I was saying though,

290

if you know you're going into a situation that's going to cause you to be anxious,

291

here's what you do.

292

Do box breathing.

293

Box breathing is this beautiful breathing technique that Navy SEALs came up with.

294

And box breathing is essentially you fully release all the air.

295

Then after that, you breathe in for four counts.

296

You hold for four counts.

297

You breathe out for four counts,

298

you hold for four counts.

299

That's one cycle.

300

Do three to five cycles of that.

301

This decreases your level of anxiety,

302

which allows you to have a clearer mind,

303

which then enables faster thinking.
