Confidence is important when youre trying to build credibility.
But you might sound like Walk all the way to 148 Townsend?
And your listener will not know if you are giving them directions or asking for them.
How you sound with your statements will determine if people believe you or not.
If you uptalk every declarative sentence, people will read it as uncertainty and lack of knowledge.
I didnt realize I did this until a stranger pointed it out to me.
Again, in some cases, its a blatantly obvious habit.
So when I answered this question, Id often uptalk:Im a freelance writer?
Thats easy enough to nip in the bud.
Certainty is a muscle and you have to use it for it to become strong.
This is useful advice, especially the last tip.
But one quick fix that helped me was visualizing a period at the end of my sentence.
This isnt to say getting rid of uptalk will automatically, indefinitely make everyone find you more credible.
But itll certainly make you sound more confident, and that goes a long way.
