Hey /adv/ Got any tips or excercises to be more fluent at speaking?
Yes, I'm kind of introvert and I'm improving a lot since the last year but that's nothing to do with my talking;
I don't have scenic panic, I'm not a stammerer and I'm a over-the-average reader so I got a pretty wide vocabulary (in my native language of course). The thing is, when I talk to other people or when I'm doing a presentation at class or something, it's a little difficult to find the correct words in the exact moment and sometimes I even take long pauses to think what I'm saying or to make a proper phrase.

Sounds like you overthink it, there are some great Ted talks on the subject.
In regards to presenting, do you make a transcript that you read through?
How do you prepare?

Usually I prepare a speech about the subject and try to study a lot about it to make sure I talk about everything I need to cover. I always have a ppt where I write the keypoints to avoid forgetting something.
What Ted Talks do you recommend?
thanks anon

Do you prepare the actual presentation?
I does wonders to stand in an empty room and practice your transcript. Try to just 'present' articulate and use your own words to explain the transcript you've made. It makes your presentation authentic and lessens the chance that you'll stop midway and think over the words.

Never thought doing that. I have a presentation on Friday so I'll try to do that.
Thanks
