00:00 Introduction

In a nutshell, we believe that being a gentleman is an aspiration that every man can achieve. In this day and age, it doesn’t have anything to do with position, wealth or influence. How you speak and sound is something that’s within your control and you can change it and perfect it even on a very low budget. If you’re watching this video chances are you know that there are areas where you can improve and I’ll share the areas where I think I should get better with you along the way.

00:52 So what are my tips to sound like a gentleman?

First, as just you seek out the person whose speech you admire and that you can analyze and emulate. That being said, public speaking and presenting are very different from conversational speech. For example, here on YouTube, I have to talk a lot faster than in person otherwise you would fall asleep. Also, public speech is often scripted or practiced and hence it’s very different from conversational speech. It all starts with the tone. The most warmly intended words can sound very cold if presented with the wrong tone. At the same time, kind words may sound threatening simply by the way you modulate your voice.

Apart from your volume and your tone, proper pronunciation is paramount. It sounds basic but there’s a large number of words that we often mispronounced.

A hallmark of a good education, upbringing and learning ability is to have a large vocabulary. When you hear a word you don’t know I suggest to keep it in mind and look it up in a dictionary afterwards even if you can kind of guess what it means from the context.

If I look back at my videos, there definitely somewhere I have used the word “dapper” a lot in one video and I bet there are some people who will know which videos I’m talking about. Because if you’re very repetitive with your words, people will keep it in mind and it has a negative connotation.

05:16 Few Rules to Sound like a Gent

One, do not use run-on sentences. Finish the sentence and the thought.

Two, don’t insert different thoughts in the middle of a sentence. It just complicates matters and listeners won’t really be able to follow you.

Three, finish your train of thought and come to an end.

A Good conversationalist will always have a well-flowing discussion. They will stay on one topic and then naturally progress to the next one because there’s a connection point.

Sometimes speaking like a gentleman includes avoiding certain words or things.

First of all, it’s wise to not use superlatives unless you truly want to describe something that is over-the-top.

In the same vein, proclaiming something as being the best or the best in the world particularly if it’s related to something you do is simply a display of ego and nothing more.

08:02 Interrupting with a Caveat
Another aspect that can be perceived as being very impolite

Speaking like a gentleman also means to avoid filler words. Uhm, uh or like are all words you better not use.

A gentleman will never swear excessively in a conversation. Let’s be honest, we all swear sometimes. Even though not so much on YouTube, but sometimes even filming when I’m frustrated with something or from disappointment.

11:02 Sarcasm
Personally, I’m a sarcastic person. However, if I’m meeting new people and they don’t know me I stay clear of it because they won’t be able to understand what I really mean and they may take what I say for face value which couldn’t be further from the truth or my opinions.
