One of the concerns I hear a lot from podcasters is that they don’t know how to stop themselves from talking so fast. It can feel like a jumbled mess for some people! Whether it’s nerves, the uncertainty of what to say or some weird thing that happens as soon as you’re in front of a microphone, I’m sharing some tips today to help you sloooooww doooowwn. 

The first key to slowing down is to breathe. Pretty basic right? But a lot of people don’t actually breathe properly and through decades of singing lessons and stage performances, this is something I’ve learned to do really well. In this episode, I share a nice breathing exercise to help you expand your diaphragm, calm your body down and help your mind and body get into the right mode for recording. 

I also talk about the helpfulness of having a prompt for what you’re going to talk about. A lot of podcasters like to freestyle their content, which is great, but it also can lead to a lot of fast talking ramble. No one likes that. So, jot a few bullet points down to help you stay on track and know that you don’t have to fill every bit of silence. I know it feels awkward, but it’s ok to pause! In fact, it’s necessary. So slow things down, take a breath and allow yourself the space to pause.

In true Bamby fashion, I also share some great tips that are a bit ridiculous but will really help you slow down. You might feel like a bit of an idiot, so watch along with me on YouTube and we can do it together!

Go ahead and practice these tips at home because learning to talk at a slower pace is really going to benefit everyone involved. As the host, you’ll feel more calm and present when recording, your listener will feel more engaged and your podcast editor will thank you for it!
