[Easing the Sense of Inadequacy] What is the Pressure of "Verbalization Ability"?

The phrase "verbalization ability is important"—doesn't that feel like pressure?

"Maybe I'm not speaking clearly..."
"Maybe I'm no good because I can't explain things well..."

I think there are people
who feel that way.

But,
there is absolutely no need to feel pressured.

The boundary of "being able to verbalize"

To begin with, when it's called an "ability,"
doesn't it feel like the bar is suddenly raised?

As if it were a test,
divided into "can do / cannot do,"
I wonder if there are people who feel that way.

But I believe that actual verbalization
is not that rigid.

For that matter,
there are days when you can't say it well,
and days when the words come out easily.

The person you're with, the place, your mood, your physical condition, fatigue, what you're talking about, etc.
I believe there are many factors that change how easy it is to speak.

Verbalization ability changes significantly based on your condition

For example,
even if you can usually explain things fluently,
when you are nervous in front of a client or your boss,
haven't you ever had the experience of "no words coming out at all"?

In other words,
verbalization ability is something that is also influenced by your condition.

Yet, if you fixate on it and evaluate it as "that person's ability level,"
I think there will be situations where it becomes difficult.

"Verbalization" is not about whether you can do it or not,
but I think the attitude you take toward it is what's important.

Verbalization is not a fixed "ability,"
but a matter of "attitude" regarding how you face yourself at that moment.

Therefore,
just because you couldn't speak well at that time,
there is no need to blame yourself.

[A word from 🐸]

I am someone who actually likes giving presentations,
and even if the other person is an important executive from another company,
I can usually talk without worrying about it... but
I made mistakes twice every time at my piano recitals...

I remember making mistakes in places where I usually wouldn't during practice.
That's why it was so frustrating.
That's why it was so frustrating.

Making mistakes in a performance even though you can do it normally.
That happens everywhere,
and I think the same can be said for verbalization.
I think so.

Thank you for reading until the end!
Look forward to the next time!

Kokopa:
I practiced long tones every day and did a lot of high-note practice too,
but there were times when I felt down because I couldn't hit the high B-flat during my solo in the actual performance...

Condition is really important, isn't it?
Even with talking, if your throat isn't in good shape or you're sleep-deprived, you might not be able to speak well.

If you are worried about your verbalization ability,
maybe you should start by taking care of your sleep and eating habits.
