Have you ever been told …

 – You sound unsure of yourself
 – Your sentences all sound like questions
 – It’s sometimes difficult to take you seriously

OUCH. 

I know. It stings.

My inner mama bear wants to jump in to protect you from this kind of feedback.

My wiser self knows you don’t need my protection, so let’s do something USEFUL with it! 

You might be getting this feedback because you’re guilty of Upspeak. 

What do I mean by Upspeak?
Upspeak (also known as upswing or uptalk) happens when the speaker takes their inflection upward at the ends of thoughts or sentences, making statements sound more like questions. 

More subtle versions of this root cause can show up as run-on sentences that never seem to end, extensive use of “filler words,” and other un-grounded habits.
