You could substitute the word "concise" with either "succinct" or "terse". They all mean speaking in a manner that is brief and most importantly, TO THE POINT. Succinct means all unnecessary details have been removed. Terse suggests a more forceful manner of speaking. The word "laconic", however, often suggests that so few words are spoken that there might be a LACK of clarity. Hope this helps
