For the past 5+ years, I’ve been talking at people over zoom for a living as an IT / AI adviser
I have noticed I spend a long time lecturing people, spending multiple minutes listening only to my voice. This is not good. My voice is not that beautiful and I am not that entertaining of a lecturer so People are going to tune me out after a while, which means failure.
I have also noticed I tend to monologue when a friend of mine says something that I know, or think is wrong or fallacious in some way. False equivalencies, moderate-level conspiracy theory (ie: illegal immigrants can vote because voting doesn’t require ID in the USA) and so on.
Again, pretty sure what I perceive as providing irrefutable knowledge to them that I possess (such as a voter registration card I cannot vote without, and multiple people prosecuted for felonies for voting twice or impersonating a dead person) will not land as a lecture.
I have noticed, especially watching movies, that I am jealous of characters who convey their point as concisely as humanly possible, while retaining all relevant information, optimized for dialogue, not written text, perhaps at the cost of some minor grammar rules or conventions
Any tips on how I can become one of those people?
