Hey Hey

was windering if anyone had any techniques for slowing down your performance. i tend to find that i rush and talk very fast was wondering if anyone had any tips for slowing down and taking time to do the tricks

cheers

figo

Practice talking with a metronome. Make a conscious reminder to yourself, like wear a rubber band on your wrist, and every time you see that rubber band you remember you need to slow down. Spend time practicing talking slow. Make a conscious effort to talk slow constantly. The more you do it, the more you will achieve the results you want.

Those are a few tips I think of off the top of my head. If I think of more, i'll be back!

thanks those are good tips. anymore would be welcomed

Not sure if this will be relevant to you, but when I suffered from anxiety I spoke waaaaaaay too fast.

And then I got an interview. So I had to learn to speak slowly.

To do that, all I did was finish a sentence then take a breath in whilst counting "1.... 2.... 3...." and then start on the next sentence.

You could always try that with your magic and patter!

cool thats good advice too i shall try as many techniques and read as many books as i can coz it's important to me that i overcome this challenge in my performance
