Filler words

They are a normal feature of speech and nobody notices a handful in conversation. Concentrated in an edited video they become obvious, because cuts remove the pauses that would have hidden them and leave the noises stacked close together. Most creators have their own set: so, basically, obviously, you know, I mean. The fix that works before the edit is silence. Pausing while you think cuts cleanly and sounds considered, whereas filling the gap out loud leaves something an editor has to chase down later.
