This is good advice. I am a member of a Toastmasters group and I remember doing a table topics speech where we needed to pretend that we were an inanimate object and then convey our experience to the audience. I remember feeling really confident and comfortable, because I was not pretending to be a 'good professional communicator' but being more empathetic.
