Um, Like you know, right?

Recently I was asked by a filmmaker if I could cure him of his “ums & likes.” He mentioned that he just couldn’t help himself from repeatedly using these fillers during interviews.

The answer was a resounding, YES! And trust me when I tell you that you can be cured too!

Once you are prepared...when you have your thoughts organized, your beats down, and you really have given thought into and meaning behind on how you want to be present with responses in an interview situation, there actually won’t be room for “ums,” “you-know’s” or “likes,” well...that is, unless you make the choice to use them intentionally for affect. It’s all in how you deliver it, we can work on how to use them effectively.
