Lipsmacking

Guests on podcasts, obviously, can’t be required to speak properly and avoid all the crutch words and bad habits that amateur unskilled orators typically use.

Hosts, on the other hand, CAN, if they wish, hold themselves to a higher standard by learning the basics of speaking that are fundamental to the activity they are performing – namely, speaking to many people simultaneously.

And one of those bad habits that hosts can STOP doing is lipsmacking.

Of course, most people who lipsmack a lot do it unconsciously — but should anyone host a show unconsciously???

When I was in Toastmasters about 10 years ago I was amazed to learn that when one member was giving a speech, a few of the other members were evaluating the speaker in order to give feedback later — and one this they evaluated AND COUNTED were lipsmacks!

Encourage hosts to up their game!
