Have you ever watched yourself on video? You might pick up on habits you didn't even know you had, like using common filler words and phrases such as:
"You know." "Kind of." "Like."
Saying these phrases during pauses in speech is a very common habit, one that can unintentionally signify a lack of confidence and impede on clarity. As a producer and editor, I find a way to cut filler words out of interviews, but if it's a live recording, there's nothing we can do!
With increased professional opportunities to appear on camera, whether through a virtual conference or company training, now is the time to learn how to drop those pesky "filler words" for good.

• "Bake Club, Day 101, And Milk Bar’s Christina Tosi Is Still Going"(Bloomberg). The effervescent founder of Milk Bar, Christina Tosi, has been hosting an Instagram Live "Bake Club" throughout the pandemic and is now pivoting the project into a weekly interactive "show." Tosi is not the only chef to pull Instagram into a "new normal" content strategy: chef Joanne Chang of Flour and others are also innovating with Instagram's off-the-cuff creative platform by introducing baking kits that customers order for home delivery or pick-up and then use to bake along with IG Live sessions.
