Idea: Try reading a few books aloud. You’ll hear yourself speaking differently and might slowly begin using less of those lil “um”s and “so”s. Good luck!

I had noticed, after your proposal video when you were told not to say it but I think it’s a good thing. I am always amazed at how articulate you are, and this is part of that – helps you keep it conversational, I reckon. Save the So!

Hey its comes across like a part of your personality… it adds character.
Sometimes its hard not to do that when the person you are talking to is not in front of you. I learned from doing FM radio. I had to get my friend to stop it.

Its not so bad… its not like a bad stutter.

It looks like everyone else said what I wanted to say, with much better wit and fanfare, so……funny vid. It looks like you are having a lot of fun this week, very creative video’s. It looks like you put a lot of thought in what you wanted each day to be. Maybe someday I will stop flying by the seat of my pants and actually prepare video’s….probably not….

I believe some college kids actually have a drinking game based on which vocalised pause you use.

I once lost a whole Friday night after doing shots while watching one of your posts!

haha I had to watch this one again. I love it. Perhaps I will do one like this as part of an homage to you.

I hadn’t noticed… until now! Hopefully I can watch more videos without watching for the ‘so’s and ‘um’s.

I think your bigger problem is someone stole all the pictures from your picture frames behind you! OMG, you have been robbed.

I’m pretty much a new viewer as of maybe 6 months ago so I can’t say that in all the videos I’ve seen you in that I’ve noticed.

So… this is my personal opinion: I can understand why those verbal afflictions can be a problem in english essays or term papers and such. I just don’t see why it would be a problem with video-blogging. I mean, sure it could get annoying. To be honest, I don’t really notice your “overuse” of any particular words.

To be short, I believe not only do those things add personality and character, they also make you human. That is why your vlog has got awards.
