Shadowing practice
- Listen once to hear how the narrator shifts from surprise to relaxed storytelling.
- Shadow lines like "You’ll never believe who I ran into" to copy the upbeat, surprised tone.
- Pause after memory-filled sentences and mimic the softer pacing that comes with nostalgia.
- Record yourself retelling Sophie’s updates—keep the energy warm but concise.
- Practice linking phrases such as "once she smiled" and "we ended up" until they feel smooth.
- Repeat the closing line about time rushing back and add your own tag about staying in touch.
Tip: Let your voice brighten on the reunion details and soften on the memories—those shifts mirror the speaker’s arc.
