Pausing between sentences while speaking?

62% Normal
5 Comments

Is it normal to pause between sentences in everyday conversation? As in, I insert a brief delay after "conversation" in the previous sentence and "As" in this sentence. This is how I've talked all my life.

    ^ I agree... Lol. Pausing is good for the listener to have a few moments of thinking time.

    Yeah it like catches the other person to pay attention more, it good. Like it sounds very lyrical or like you are a good speech-deliverer.

    Do you ever really get the chance to even say the following sentence? That's where everyone waiting for their turn to speak would jump in.

    William Shatner made his career by putting the pause... in the middle of his sentences.
