In the healing process, attention, frustration, and cooperation are all influenced by psychological time. As a speaker, it is possible to create a more compelling and time-constrained experience by emphasizing certain words. As you speak, keep an eye on how attentive your audience is to your every word. It’s possible that you’ll need to get used to the idea of people paying close attention to what you have to say and then allowing you to finish your thoughts. In addition, you might discover that they’re eager to align and contribute ideas in the same direction. Be on the lookout for a slight forward lean or head forward posture, less blinking, and an unusually wide-eyed quality in others as you practice this system. Listen to recordings of yourself and experiment with the following iterations. Be sure to record yourself speaking normally first. You can use these techniques if you have a lot to say and need to grab the audience’s attention and make sure your ideas stick.

Practicing this can help you pull your emphasis away from words that should not be emphasized. WHEN you EMPHasizethe WRONG WORDS, YOU can sound PREACHY and HAVE a SING SONG QUALity to your SPEECH.

Try it this way instead: When you EMPHasize the wrong words, you can SOUND preachy and  have a SING song quality to your SPEECH. This style will actually make it seem as though you are taking up less time as you speak. Less punctuation creates more contrast, and thus, more interest.

The human mind can take in a good number of non-emphasized words, so you will not lose your message by reducing the number of emphasized words. You actually compress psychological time so that it’s easier to listen to you and take in your message. You can use this for pretty much anything you say, whether it is to the media, to clients, negotiating, or in your personal life. Listen to experts that are very media savvy when they are interviewed. Practice this with things that you typically say. You can mentally rehearse, record yourself, and refine the technique to fit your personality.
