I agree with this 100%. Do not stress the H. 99% percent of people will understand or not care/notice if you hardly pronounce the H. Focus on the vowel sound and if you have to stretch...

I struggle with "thank you" in person. I've felt like a dick soooo many times when people hold the door for me and I just nod my head because I'm experiencing a block...

Instead of hello say “what’s up” or “boogie 2988 coming at you live trough the power of the internet” “or even hαí, my name is (what) my name is (who) my name is chka. Chka slim shady”...

I used to work in a takeaway shop where I took phone orders and I had no problem speaking. I think the anxiety has come back because I'm sort of "out of practice". But I do remember freezing up at tha...

I've gotten so many spam calls the past couple of years that I can answer without much thought. Before though, I would answer, wait a second or two, then say "hello" without stressing or emphasizing t...
