The Power of Pausing | The VidConcierge Show with Dr. Walter Salubro
Episode Overview
Most health professionals talk too much on camera without realizing it. The sentences run long, the explanations wind, and the result is rambling that overwhelms — or worse — bores the viewer.
In this episode of The VidConcierge Show, Dr. Walter Salubro explains why learning to pause is one of the most powerful skills you can develop on video. By adding intentional silence, you sharpen your message, build trust, and project calm authority.
You’ll discover why rambling happens, how pausing changes how your audience perceives you, and three practical techniques for using pauses without feeling awkward.
What You’ll Learn in This Episode
- Why rambling happens (and how it dilutes your message).
- The Precision Pause: How to emphasize key insights with silence.
- The Curiosity Gap Pause: How to build anticipation and keep attention.
- The Nervous System Reset: How to use a pause to calm yourself and recover smoothly when you stumble.
Today’s Action Steps
Before your next recording, try this simple practice:
- Mark your script with two or three planned pauses — after a key phrase, a question, or a transition.
- Record yourself and watch it back. Notice how the pauses make your delivery feel more confident and authoritative.
- Embrace silence. Remember, two seconds feels long to you, but it feels natural and powerful to your viewer.
By mastering the pause, you’ll sound more composed, more credible, and more in control — without adding a single new word.
