Any advice for someone who wants to become more articulate? I do a lot of thinking and reading and have developed many ideas and opinions that i want to be able to communicate effectively.
Start by reading my diary, tbqh

I remember listening to some comedians on O&A talking about how different it is to experience stand-up before and after you become a comedian yourself, because once you try actually performing it you become self-conscious and aware of things like joke structure, rhythm, body language, timing and so on for the first time. You develop a clinical eye for it.
I suppose rhetoric and oratory is the same thing. You can listen to speeches by politicians and debates all you want, it will only work if it's a complement to your own practice.
