Singing and dancing.
Yeah, you heard that.
You saw that.
Lately I've been trying to smile a lot more because I realize that your emotion behind your words is controlled by your body language and your face is part of your body.
So if you're smiling, you're going to have a lot happier emotions and that's better for speaking.
And I've also been singing and humming more because I used to do that all the time as a kid and I realized that I've been growing up and that is bad.
Like for all of you who think growing up is good, no. You should always remain a kid, always remain a child because I realize that I've been taking life too seriously lately.
No! Screw that!
Now, you know what I'm doing? I literally just hum and I sing and I dance in the park sometimes.
And it's fun and I recommend you do it. Actually, this morning I was biking and I used to sing like hum.
I remember like a year ago or maybe two years ago I was literally just like singing like,
I like the whole world so falling all alone. Biking down the road while it's like snowing and it's like six in the morning. I'm just vibing. You know I'm having a good time. It's dark outside.
But I'm just cruising down the road. And that was fun. And then I started to take life too seriously.
You know what I say to that? It's time to start singing. So this morning I was biking down and after maybe months of silent bike rides, you know what I did?
I started doing that thing because that is actually vocal training. I learned that that's actually good exercise for your vocal. I don't know how. I don't know if it's actually, but I heard it from Vin Gang.
I don't know. I gotta figure out how to pronounce his last name because I don't actually know if I'm pronouncing it right. But that guy is awesome. He's a great speaker and I'm learning a lot from him.
So check him out. I'm shouting him out a lot lately because he's important in this development process of developing the way you speak.
So one other thing that I learned from him is your expression. So he said like, I forgot the word he used. It's something like, people have this bitch, oh, resting bitch face. And I have that. I have that. And I have that. And I'm trying to remove it because it's a habit that is terrible.
It's like literally just being stoic. Like just being really stoic and not really showing any emotion. And that causes bad speaking. But if you're happy and you have a little smile, that backs your words with emotion and you're much better at influencing others.
And you're also a better speaker. You're just way more relatable and you're just a more joyful person than I feel like over the past couple of weeks or months, especially I've been really taking life way too seriously.
I've been like, oh, I got to do this. I got to do that. Like, oh, but come on. Like, that's all. It's all just me growing up into an adult. And you know what? It's time to change that. And I'm actually, oh my gosh, I just realized.
Good thing none of these are going on to, good thing all these are practiced because I realized that yesterday I recorded a video with my webcam and I forgot to change the audio back to, man, I recorded like five videos today.
Well, I'm sorry for the bad audio quality. Whatever. You live, you learn. Peace.
