How to cut filler words
- Replace "um" with a silent pause. It sounds more confident than you think.
- Know your next line. Most fillers happen while you search for words.
- Use a teleprompter for the structure and speak the details freely.
Read your script hands-free on iPhone, iPad and Mac. The teleprompter follows your voice.
