    Thank you, it is very useful, and very well presented too! You did exactly what you spoke about. Maybe this way I don’t forget it when next time speaking

    hanks for your comments on my Birthday. It's like receiving another birthday card. Have you noticed that when listening to music, pauses are important too as the pauses create the silence between the notes. It is the silence and the length of the silence between the notes that helps create the melody. J. PS. Have you checked out the other Speakers' Coach lessons?

    Pauses are great. They help the audience to absorb what you just said. Not only that, it gives you time to catch your breath. Major pauses are even better. Pause just before you announce a key word, or the punch line of a joke. Thank you for your feedback. J.
