Are you someone who struggles with your speech? Maybe you speak English fluently, but have an accent, or perhaps you speak multiple languages and find it difficult to communicate smoothly.
If this sounds like you, then this video series, which discusses the most common speaking challenges, is for you. In this particular video, we'll talk about "blocking," which occurs when you are unable to get the sound out before something happens to your air passage.
While there are many techniques and strategies to address this issue, the best way to tackle blocking is by changing your entire style of speaking and your speaking identity. How you feel in the moment and how you see yourself in a speaking situation can impact your ability to speak smoothly, so by changing your mindset, you may be able to overcome this challenge.
Remember, while some techniques may work some of the time, there is no one-size-fits-all solution to speaking challenges.
