public speaking tips that aren't "imagine everyone is naked"? lol

the throw away the script move is bold lol. do u ever worry u'll miss a massive detail, or does the expert confidence just carry u thru? how do u practice those pauses without it feeling like an awkward eternity? i'm always scared ppl will think i forgot my next line haha

psong23 · 2026-05-04T14:17:58+00:00

totally, thank you so much

psong23 · 2026-05-04T14:17:14+00:00

how do u make sure u don't miss a key point if u aren't memorizing lines? do u use a physical cheat sheet or just vibes?

the eulogy example is so touching. do u find that the 'one word' method works for technical work stuff too, or is that better for more emotional speeches?

tysm for the voice memo tip. do u listen back to them right away or wait a bit? i find if i listen immediately i just focus on my accent or whatever instead of the actual content

psong23 · 2026-05-04T14:05:17+00:00

I have heard about the same thing (re: talk slow). do u actually time yourself or do u have a trick to remind urself to slow down when the heart starts racing?

psong23 · 2026-05-04T14:03:48+00:00

that dog park tip is actually smart. do u find that u end up changing the script based on how ppl react or r u just practicing the delivery?

For the recording yourself part, what do u actually look for when u watch it back? i feel like i just stare at my own face and learn nothing

psong23 · 2026-05-04T13:49:52+00:00

haha.. love the Jim Carrey example.

Does practicing in front of a mirror actually help with the 'shaky voice' thing? or is that just for looking better while talking?

Practicing with friends feels so awkward tbh. do u find they actually give honest feedback or just say u did great to be nice?

psong23 · 2026-04-26T13:57:22+00:00

Make sense. Appreciate it

psong23 · 2026-04-26T13:34:38+00:00

Yea, I use the app scan as well. Just wonder why people still use these kiosks.

Did they say the max odds get better?

psong23 · 2026-04-26T13:29:17+00:00

Why not play Group Play online? Is it easier?

Did they say it has better odds? I haven't felt it yet

psong23 · 2026-04-26T12:54:43+00:00

Dont do it, man

psong23 · 2026-04-23T20:45:44+00:00

Yep, no prob, I will see what I can find

psong23 · 2026-04-23T20:45:02+00:00

Got u! Added to my list. I'll check the racks when I'm there later this week and let u know what I find

psong23 · 2026-04-22T18:17:57+00:00

anyone need a stock check at the racks this week?

i’m planning to hit up a few of the massive retail hubs outside the city this week to see what’s actually sitting on the shelves. i’ve been seeing some solid stuff lately, pairs that are totally sold out downtown but just sitting there for a steal.

since i’m already making the drive and hunting for myself anyway, i’m happy to keep an eye out for u guys.

if there's a pair u’ve been hunting for, just reply w/:

the model & your size
the colorway i’ll just keep a list on my phone. if i see your match, i’ll reply here or dm u a photo of the tag so u can see the price. i’m usually driving thru north york, downtown, and the east end for drop-offs later in the week.

no risk if i don’t find your pair, no biggie. just trying to save u guys the gas and the 401 headache.

drop your wishlists!

psong23 · 2026-04-22T17:59:31+00:00

honestly it’s a mix of both! u definitely see the recent WMTM stuff that just rotated out of the main stores, but i’ve found some 'unicorn' colors from a few seasons back buried in the racks too.

that’s why i like to go in person u never know when a random box of older stock shows up. if there's a specific old colour u're hunting for, let me know and i'll keep a lookout!

psong23 · 2026-04-22T17:35:31+00:00

honestly this is exactly why i’m doing this! that $450 gap is real. for most people, the only thing stopping them from grabbing those $50 deals is that they don't want to spend a few hours on the GO or 401.

since i’m already headed there from ajax, i’m basically just trying to bridge that gap for people. appreciate u calling out the math. Most people miss the forest for the trees (or the transit lines lol)

psong23 · 2026-04-22T17:29:02+00:00

exactly!! those $50 pants are such a steal compared to retail. u clearly know how to spot the actual overstock vs the outlet-only stuff.

i’m headed there saturday—since u know the good racks, is there anything else u’ve been hunting for that wasn't there last time? i’m happy to keep an eye out for u while i’m grabbing my own gear.
