The Best Tricks to Sounding Confident (Even When You're Not).
https://www.themuse.com/advice/the-7-best-tricks-to-sounding-confident-
even-when-youre-not
1. Speak More Slowly: Some of us speak faster when we’re nervous. Some of
us are naturally fast talkers. Regardless of (независимо от) your motivations,
conscious (сознательных) or subconscious (подсознательных), speaking too
quickly indicates (указывает на) a lack of authority (власти) or a lack of
confidence (уверенности). In addition, while speaking quickly, you’re more
likely (более вероятно) to make mistakes in your enunciation (дикция), and
you have less time to think through your words. Focus on speaking more slowly
in your conversation, allowing your words to draw out (извлечь) and giving
your sentences a weightier rhythm (более весомый ритм). Your audience
will have more time to digest (переварить) the words you’re speaking, and
you’ll be less likely to make any critical errors (ошибки) that compromise
(подрывать) your speaking integrity (честность).
2. Use Pauses to Your Advantage (для своего преимущества): Using pauses
is another strategy that can help you speak slower, but it’s effective in its own
right (само по себе). Work on creatively using pauses to give more impact
(влияния) to your speaking. For example, if you have an opening for a public
presentation that’s eight sentences long and you make (выразить) a
significant (значительную) point (мысль) after sentence three, throw in a
sizable (значительную) seconds-long pause. It will add more weight to
whatever your last sentence was and give your audience time to soak it in
(погрузиться в неё). It also gives you a chance to collect your thoughts and
prepare for the next section of your speech, adding to the total amount of
authority and confidence you project (проецируете/излучаете).
3. Avoid Asides (избегайте ремарок): In a scenario that allows for
preparation, such as giving a speech to a public audience, asides (ремарки) are
fine. You have advance time (срок) to prepare them, determine (определите)
if they’re relevant (относятся к делу), and include (включить) them if they
