A simple way to practise Part 2

01

Write keywords for one minute

Use short notes for the person, time, place, action and feeling so you have time to start speaking.

02

Finish the story first

On the first recording, cover every prompt. Review pauses, repetition and places where the idea stops too early.

03

Change the angle once

Keep the card, replace the example and record it again. This trains live organisation instead of one memorised script.
