The word 'errrrrrrrrrrm' should be banned! If only i could stop people from using it so often in meetings at work... it almost gets to the point that i start to cringe when i hear it, even worse when i can predict when it's going to happen. The plus side to all of this is that i notice straight away if i say 'errrrm' myself!
Taking a pause in your sentences, that is something i have to practice more, but have noticed its effect since i've started to give training courses (SQL / programming), as you tend to keep people's interest more, compared to just monotone talking.
The Lisk team have got a really good marketing guy, who is very good at public speaking, he definitely kept my attention during the Lisk relaunch on Feb 20th... hardly any filler words (if any), and, he sure knew how to give a good pause, Thomas Schouten is his name and here is his intro from the relaunch video [start at 15 minutes in] (worth watching three minutes or so of this as it includes the Lisk marketing advert which is pretty cool :)

Thanks for sharing! I’ll have to check the video out later. I always enjoy checking out people who are good at public speaking. It’s amazing how much you can learn just by watching people.
