Part 1. What are Filler Words?
Put simply, filler words are sounds or phrases that people use to fill in spaces in communication. These words typically indicate a break in thought or a pause to figure out what to say next.
Common examples of filler words include 'um,' 'er,' 'em,' 'uh,' and 'eh.' These examples are classified under sounds. On the flip side, filler words can also be single words or phrases. For instance, 'like' and 'you know.'

Filler words occur unintentionally in speech and can be challenging to control. However, they disrupt the smoothness of communication. This is because filler words create pauses in speech, which can distract the audience from the main point of your presentation.
In addition, filler words make sentences challenging to understand. Most of these words are unnecessary in speech and reduce the conciseness of your presentation. In essence, they make your point unclear to your audience. As such, you must avoid them as much as possible. And if you can't, it's always advisable to remove them, especially in videos.
