Filler Words

Most people don't realize they're using filler words, but audiences can become VERY distracted by them. People often use these words as a sort of verbal punctuation, or a pause wherein they can think about their next word. PAUSES ARE GOOD. They created suspense, they give an audience a chance to process what you just said. Don't make the mistake of feeling like you need to fill every second with words.
