Vocalized pause

A vocalized pause is a filler sound — such as 'um', 'uh', 'er', or 'like' — used involuntarily by speakers when they pause to think or gather their thoughts. While occasional pauses are natural, frequent vocalized pauses can undermine a speaker's credibility, reduce clarity, and make a presentation feel less polished. Reducing vocalized pauses is a common goal in public speaking coaching, and is typically addressed through practice, conscious awareness, and the deliberate use of silent pauses instead.

They are essential for understanding audience needs, facilitating discussions, and building engagement during interactive sessions.
