Have you found yourself stuck for words and only "Um"keeps coming out? There are a couple of reasons for it. Firstly, you are stopping someone else from interrrupting you by claiming the airspace with a sound. It gives you time to think of what you are going to say next. And secondly,you are possibly unsure of your content or feeling a little hesitant and doubtful that you can get your message across. Did you know that different languages come complete with their own set of "holding" sounds? "Um"..."Ahh"..."Errr"..."Ayye". Weird eh!

One lady who has had to do a lot of talking in her life deserves our respect as she celebrates her Platinum Jubilee. HRH Queen Elizabeth has a particular way of talking that mostly remains even and unemotional. Her accent is upper class and clipped and her diction is crisp and clear. She knows how to use a mic and keeps a spare in her handbag (just kidding) Anyhow, we love her for being there and knowing how to use her presence and status to make us pay attention. Long may she reign.

Everyone is doing it....so we've devised a course to help you do it well! Get your message out into the airwaves and into the eager ears of your listeners.

It's the day that's set aside to celebrate women. Have you noticed that there is no one little day set aside to celebrate men? Why are we giving women a single day to be celebrated. How ridiculous. Don't get me wrong... we love men. Just come on...this has got to change.
