Morning Coffee
Shadowing practice
- Listen once straight through to catch the overall rhythm and feeling.
- Play one sentence, pause, and repeat it aloud while matching sound, stress, and linking.
- Shadow in sync with the audio, copying the speaker’s pacing and intonation even if you stumble.
- Notice natural pauses and breaths; try to inhale and exhale where the speaker does.
- Record yourself and compare quickly to the original, adjusting volume and clarity.
- Loop any tricky line until it flows, then jot down phrases you want to reuse later.
Tip: Keep sessions short—five focused minutes beats one unfocused listen.
