Many speakers end their sentences with an upward inflection to sound more friendly and accommodating. In this video I explain how ending with a downward inflection makes you sound much more confident.

About Me:
I’m Christopher Chin, and I help tech professionals become confident speakers and leaders.
Does this sound familiar:
- You put together slide decks but your audience doesn’t react well to them?
- You’re great at researching, coding, and analyzing. But don’t know where to start with speaking up in meetings and giving presentations?
- You’ve been stuck in your career, unable to get the promotions you deserve, because your managers say you need to work on communication skills?
The truth is communication, presentation, and storytelling are not “soft skills”. They are extremely hard to master yet crucial for success in business and leadership.
I created this RU-vid channel and my Hidden Speaker training programs to address exactly those challenges. This is not just any communication course. This is communication for tech professionals by a tech professional. If you're looking for self-paced content to overcome anxiety, speak with confidence, and know how to structure a killer presentation, you’ve come to the right place.

You might be doing something in your speech that makes you appear unconfident. Let's dive in. This is what one of my clients told me. They said "I have a background in data science." Notice how at the end of every phrase it sounded like "this", like a question. And notice how unconfident that felt. Here it is again: "I have a background in data science". It's almost as if you're asking me if you have a background in data science! Here's how we do it the right way: "I have a background in data science", ending with a downward inflection, punctuating my point, instead of letting it feel unconfident. Remember, if you want to appear confident don't end your phrases with an upward inflection. End them with a downward one. And here practice really does make perfect
