Timbaland worked on public speaking after appearing ‘grumpy’ in interviews – Music News

Timbaland worked to improve his public speaking skills after noticing that he looked “a little moody” in interviews.

In a recent chat with Variety, the legendary music producer revealed that he tends to be quite an introvert, so he spends his time focusing on his public persona.

“I never thought I was good at speaking. No, because I’m really an introvert and I want to express myself through music,” he explained. “But now I’m realizing that people actually want to hear me. God allowed me to articulate it in a way that has the feel of my music.” I don’t say I’m 100 when I do this, I’m comfortable at 90 percent, but I’m at 90 percent.”

Timbaland, whose real name is Timothy Mosley, said he’s considering taking a professional coaching session so he can learn more about public speaking.

“So it’s been like therapy for me. I’m not there yet. I’m not going to stand up and give a speech, but I’m in an uncomfortable and comfortable position right now,” the 51-year-old added.

Timbaland is currently working on new music with the likes of Justin Timberlake and Missy Elliott.
